first appearance as star at the theatre on
Tuesday evening next. Mr.. Haworth will
DE seen in play which has won for him
both lucre and fame, 'Paul Kauvar." The
star must indeed be not only fine actor,
but with more than the ordinary amount of
brains thrown N. He has been patted on
the back by men of letters like Colonel
Watterson and Colonel Ingersoll, while
that great genius of acting, MIR. Booth,
gives Haworth a leading place among the
great actors of his time. Haworth is still
a young man, not past thirty, yet he is
regarded as one of the most versatile actors
on the stage. His stage experience dates
back fifteen years, and in this time he has
played many parts. Those who are de-
lighted with his Iago, Cassius, Icilius, and
other parts when a member of Nc
Cullough's company would hardly
think this the actor who created
the singing parts of Ralph Rack
straw in ''Pinafore'' and Archibald
Grosvenor in Patience in this country.
Haworth was McCullough's leading man
until death removed the great tragedian
from the scenes of his triumph.
Then the young actor was starred by
Frank Sanger in Wilson Barretts drama
"Hoodman Blind" The great-hearted
English actor admired Haworth's work
and frankly wrote him a letter stating that
his conception of the part was the most
novel and interesting he had ever seen.
paul kauvar" was his next great sue
cess. With Haworth in the cast it had a
run of over two hundred nights at the
Standard theatre in New York CITY, 1t
was the great stage triumph of the season.
From New York it played eight consecu-
tive weeks at Hooley's theatre in Chicago,
where it was witnessed by immense
throngs of people. Its success on the road
and its recent great triumph in San Fran
cisco are matters of stage history. One
critic in Frisco wrote: 'Mr Haworth's
success in Paul Kauvar' is to the mind
OF the writer as great as that made here
! by Shenandoah Haworth is a grand
actor He should be seen by all lovers of
fine dramatic work"
A resume of the play will be in
teresting at this time. 1t is said
to be drama of thrills and
sensations. The action of the play occurs
in the bloody 400 of the French revolution
from May 81, 1893, to July %, 1894, known
in history as the Reign of Terror. 1t is
said to be thrilling play The author has
caught the high, tlne spirit of romantic
herolsm. He also presents a series of vivid
lurid tableaux. which revive with startling
realism the scenes Of the great French rev
olution. The play pulsates with the fer
Vor, the passions, sentiments emotions
and ambitions of the times. During the
succession of remarkable scenes one can.
not help quivering with aroused sympathy
i for the actors.

and heat of the furious storm which swep,
