Alexander salvini in "Dou Cesar
De Bazan" Tonight
The appearance OF Alexander Salvini at
the theater tonight marks a new depart
ment in stage work, In that the actors

tirely to romantic plays, two OF which
at least have fallen into desuetude, not
FROM the lack Of good merit, but from the

we're fine romantic actors, out these
three have died and for nearly generation
the stage, while numbering many dramatic
artists in other lines, has been almost barren
OF actors capable Of infusing life aud
vitality into those old dramas which have
done so much to make the stage attractive.
At the present time no actor has better
foothold In this line than Alexander Salvini,
who by reason Of his youth, his force, his
natural endownents can do the work re-
quired Of a romantic actor. Others have
struggled TO attain recognized position as
opponents Of these charming creations of
the dramatists' brain, such as D'Artagnan,
Don Caesar, and similar parts. but
most have failed to achieve permanent
success. Alexander Salvini. born in an at
mosphere Of art, bred in the country of act
ing and the home Of his own father, should
be worthy to wear the mantle of the great
actors OF romantic drama who have lived
and dourished. Mr.. Salvini will present
here DEnnery's five act comedy drama
Don Caesar de Bazan," play well known
here from its having been attempted and
played several times by the Ford Dramatic
Association several years ago.
