Joseph Haworth at the Grand
CieveIand's Minstrels.
Notwithstanding the inclemency Of
the weather a good-siZed audience was
present at the Grand opera house last
evening to welcome Joseph Haworth
and his company Of players in Paul
Kauvar." There is no better actor at
present on the American stage than Mr..
Haworth. In paul Kauvar" he has a
beautiful play, clean, wholesome,
and so far above the standard
that one can readily account
for the wonderful success which
it has achieved. In various parts OF the
country critics have said that paul
Kauvar" is the greatest drama yet writ
ten by an American dramatist. There
can hardly be any doubt about this.
The situations are strong, the scenic
effects admirable, in fact everything Is
so perfect that there is nothing to be de-
sired. The plot of the play has already
been reviewed in these columns at
length, so it is not necessary at this
time to give an extended criticism. For
the first night things passed off IN
a remarkably smooth manner. From
beginning to end there was not hitch
i'll the performance. The wonderful
dream scene in the first act was re-
warded with burst of applause. Mr..
Haworth, in the title role, proved his
worth as great actor. Very quietly
did he play the part, but when the great
burst of strength was needed he rose TO
the occasion. He was vigorous and
manly, and invested the part with an
intensity that is commendable in these
days wnen weak leading men pose as
great actors. Nature has indeed been
kind to the star. He is blessed with
handsome presence and possesses
voice which for patnOS
and power cannot be excelled
by any actor we can call to mind. Agaln,
he has personal magnetism in such
quantities that he draws his audience to
him and keeps it there during the time
that he is on the stage. 10 sum up MS
performance of paul Kauvar" care
fully. it is but fair to say that MIR. Ha-
worth should be ranked with the great
actors of this generation. Miss Lizzie
Rochelle was the Diane. She is very
handsome lady, has good, strong voice
| and plays the part very much better
that any of her predecessors. Cha. les
Vandenhoff was very good as the
duke. Mark Lynch made his first
appearance with the company as
Gouroc. While being quite nervous at
the start, he played the part with an ar
tistic finish which was admit able. He
was the polished villain from beginning
to end. Mr.. Lynch is an addition to the
| fine company. His success was EN-
phatc. A word of praise is due Mr..
Drouet, Mr.. Conway, Mr.. Walton, MIR.
Fenton, Mr.. Woods. Miss Timberman
and Miss Rial for the general excellence
of their performance. 1t is a strong
company and deserves the greatest sue
cess. Mr.. HaWorth and Paul Kauyar'1
will be the attraction at the opera house
| for the balance of the week.
The Cleveland Consolidated Minstrels
opened weeks stand to full house at
the Minneapolis Harris last night. Two
old-timed favorites. Billy Emerson and
| Hughey Doherty, are the stars of the
company. Many new jokes were
laughed at the first time in this city,
and the vocal selections were we'll ar
ranged and splendidly rendered. The
| singing of THE ShipWreek." by
A. NJ. Thatcher, the basso, was
especially good. AS much can be said
of Mr.. Banks winter song, "Neona, !"
and Percy Denton's rendition of "She
Loves Me-" The Neopolitan quartette
| was several times encOred, and Mr..
Doherty's dissertation on "The
Worlds Fair" elected great applause.
The performance closes with the WON
derful acrobatic feats and Juggling or
THE Imperial Japanese Troupe" (which
is perhaps equal to any that has ever ap-
| peared here,
