"THE BANKER"

George Edgar in a New Play at the
Windsor Theatre.
On Monday night a crowded house,
among whom were many Jersey City
people, greeted the new play, ''The
Banker at the Windsor Theatre in New
York. The play is of the emotional kind
and tells the story Of a g~rievously injured
man who suffers for a crime committed
by his friend and in personal appearance
his exact counterpart. After
years Of suffering in prison,
and police espionage afterwards,
the two men meet, and while n is de-
manuing reparation for the wrong done
him the other, who has becom&a wealthy
banker, taunts him and refuses him JUS
tice. In heat of passion the banker is
killed and the other assumes his name and
changes clothes with the dead man. The
body is found and identified as that of
the wrong man. whose daughter at nee
sets to work, with the aid OF her lover
and a detective, to track the murderer
down. Just as her task is about com
pleted she discovers her father in
his disguise as the banker and
learns the truth of his life
and the injuries done him. However, the
detectives do not give up the chase, but
are about to arrest the supposed Banker
when death removes him from the scene.
An under plot, with a comedy william,
lovers and servant go to make the play
more interesting.
Mr.. George Edgar in the title role is an
actor of sterling merit, great force, fine
methods and perfect reading In his
every scene the audience are in per-
feet accord and sympathy with
him, and he is literally applaud
ed. Harry Eytinge, as the iovial
villain was q strong foil to Mr.. Edgar
and his characterization could not be i'm
proved on. Miss Emma Vaders in the
leading female role was winsomely
strong and gave a rendering of the part
which stamps her as Il OF the best
leading ladies. Others of the company
gave fair support, except Alfred Follin as
a lover and Miss sydney Raymond as a
soubrette, and the sooner they are
changed for more competent actors the
better for the success OF the play.
Mr.. Luke r. Ford, Of this city, is man
ager of 1.-THE Banker'' company and has
handled the organization with skill and
judgment. His many friends here will
make his visit to Jersey City later in the
season an event for him to remember
with pleasure.
