ENGLIsH's -NAT C. GOODWIN, IN THE
NOMINEE"
Nat Goodwin played with a change of bill at
EnglIsh's last night, and to another crowded
house. This time it was ''rhe Nominee and
"Art and Nature" for q curtain raiser. In this
pretty little drama the only part there is to it
was well sustained by Miss Amber. who has dem
onstratcd to Indianapolis that she is as versa
tile and thorough an actress as she is a beautiful
young woman. Mr.. Browne, in supporting her,
suffers very much in comparison with
others who played the same role here
last year. He talks too fast and, moreover, 1t is
very difficult for a fat man to play the part.
portrays a phase of life that leaves a bad taste
In the mouth. The average man and woman,
with home and home life about them, would
much rather laugh with Goodwin in something
innocently funny and sympathize with him in
something pathetic. They don't like to despise
him in any character, and yet he acts Medford
with such perfection that fespise him they must,
even while they laugh at him.
