METROPOLITAN THEATER.-A year ago,
when the Milton Mobiles troupe was in Cali.
fornia, Max Fehrmann, an orchestral leader,
was suddenly called to fill part in the piece
then being played 1t was that of Jewish
rake. He was SO successful that he became
the chief humorous light in the company.
Since then he has taken front place as
character actor, and tonight he appears at
the Metropolitan Theater at the head OF his
own company, and in piece entitled Uncle
Isaac a com position from the pen of b. u.
Maeder, and calculated, it is stated, to give
! full play to MIR. Fehrmann's art In dialect
parts. He will be supported by james II.
Meade, W. II. Bosee, Burton Adams, d. K.
Allen, Alfred Lorne. e. W. Mortimer,
j. Forster. and Misses Martha Wren,
Emma Vaders Carlotta Evelyn, Mary
Madderu and Alice Baldwin. The piece
enables Hermann to introduce several songs
and instrumental solos in which he is expert.
1t is claimed that while the situations and
dialogue are extremely mirth- provoking,
Uncle Isaac is not burlesque OF Jewish
character, but, like the Irish, Dutch, Yankee
and Southern dialect parts, seizes upon the
eccentricities and oddities of the Jew, and
that no psople enjoy Fehrmann's acting more
than do the Jewish people. If Fehrmann is
half as good in his new play as he YVES IN the
old. no one will regret the cost aid time OUT
layed in visiting the theater during his en-
gagement of three nights.
