The selectmen of Plymouth, Mass, refused to
grant license to a "Clemenceau Case" company,
headed by Lillian Armstrong, to appear, or
rather exhibit, in that natal town of the Pilgrim
Fathers Efforts were made by the management
OF the company to have the selectmen witness a
private rehearsal of the studio scene, but the
town folks proved themselves worthy descend
ants of their Puritan progentors, and withstood
all establishments to lure them into the primrose
path.
The production of Neil Burgess's New England
comedy, 1.-The County Fair" is among the novel
ties of the month at Aibaugh's. 1t will be pre-
sented there for week commencing Monday
January 26. This play is now in it's third year at
the Union Square Theatre, and, like the brook
threatens to run on forever. Like ''The Old |
Homestead" it depicts certain phases of country
life, and the prototypes of its characters may be
found any day tilling the stony soil of Puritan
land.
The advanced age of Booth aud Barrett, the
lack of progress in Louis James and Thomas W.
Keene, the unsuccessful efforts of Frederick
Warde, leave the field of tragedy comparatively
open. The only man that is at present able to
wear the laurels with deserved merit is Robert
Downing. Nature has endowed him with an
ample physique and an admirable voice, that suit
him for the roles in which actors like Forrest and
Salvini have achieved distinction. - Dllnlop's
