Moyne's. There's an actor for you
How rarely We see talent so decided a.
that descending from father to son
But he's not the man for stock com
pany. He looms up above the
others and casts a shadow over

there can be no picture OF the whole
that melting of individuality into the
general group so necessary in stock
company. he's like g central statue. AS
some One in San Francisco prettily said,
| SalVini paints in oil. the others in
water colors. (Roar) Mr.. LIE Moyne
has been accepted-he's got her in his
arms. Salyini will have to star, he can It

best part? Well. 1 think he does the
comedy better than he villains
though from that verdict let me

Sinners. That we think one Of
his greatest characters "a roar
that makes the walls Of the dressing
room tremble,) The curtains down,

night than it has for months. Why2
Inc audience was in active
sympathy with the play. The
actors felt the irfusucs, and
gave them cool performance
Tonight the audience is what l Call
super-enthusiastic-they are too ready
to applaud, and they spoil your points,"
Mr.. Lemoyne ventures the opinion
that Its ell imagination-that they
gave better performance the first
night because they hadn't been on the
stage for several days and that they
were more anxious and Rervous; tina,
was all. William, however, maintains
that he can not be mistaken, he knows
audiences too well, and the reporter
leaves them discussing the knotty
point together.
