n LORD CHUMLEY.

MIR. E. d. Sothern, supported by the
Lyceum Theater company, in his grand sue
cess, "Lord Chumlsy," attracted an immense
audience at the Hyperion theater last even.
ing. The play was written expressly for
Mr.. Sothern by Messrs. Belasco and
DeMille, the authors of "The Wife," and 1t Is
indeed q charming comedy. The plot is Sim
pie and tho moral Is that 1t ia not always
possible that one may appear to
be the silliest and LATEST of
of dudes. and yet the suffering drawl and
vacant stare may be only the veneer that
covers the true nobility Of a thorough En-
glish gentleman, who is willing to risk his
honor life and fortune to save his friend and
who is acute enough to foil the deepest plots
Of the most brazen of villains. That is just
the kind of man "Lord Cholmondeley" is
and 1t is his suffering, his drawing, his eye
glass, his courage and his generosity
that have made him such a
general favorite. The action of
the play may be described by the use of
old Mrs. Butterworth's pet word, "hilsri
ous." The fun is almost incessant, and 1t Is
minds one of "Sam," which the late Mr..
Chanfrau made famous. The second act
called up recollections of "Our Girls", and
the martial strains which closed the acts
suggested Robertson's sterling comedy
"Oura," but only as one good play
calls to mind the other good
plays gone but not forgotten. Mr..
Sothern has won his success very young
in life and 1t is well merited. He is true
son of his father, and that must be his high
est praise. The company is a competent one
and Miss Tittell, Miss Livingston, Miss Viii.
son and all the members of the cast did their
share toward making the stage picture com.
plete. The play will be repeated this after
noon and evening.
