Master and Man." 1t brings the whole
company into action, and from the rise to

upon To give the play for one night more.

THIS public, and VINO in our judgment is
one OF the most capable and effective
young actors who has visited this city in
years. he came unheralded, but he will
depart with the judgment of the public
ali IN testimony To his ability. In the
troupe also is Miss Annie Miffiin, well
known here, playing secondary parts
now, but doing so with the same skill,
ialthiulness and ease that characteriZes
her when in the lead. She is an accom-
pllshed artist and one who has honestly
won the warm commendation of this
public. Fred j. Butler is leading man
on the heavy side who is new to this
place. He is a competent actor and has
created an excellent impression.

Frohman New York Empire Theater
Company in the sensational drama. "Sow-
ing the Wind" The box Office is now

the Wind" which is a period play, To-
Gated III England during the Georgian
era, was written by sydney Grundy, who
chose tor his theme the Mosaic warning
that 'the sins OF the parent snail be WIS.,
tied upon the children" In showing the
pltlless severity of this punishment, the
author places the sexes in a hostile atti-
tude and proceeds cleverly with his story
to the dramatic point where the sex
against sex" duel between Henry Miller
and Miss Hampton takes place. This
question and its treatment caused Mr.
Grundy's play TO be widely and earnestly
discussed. Its popularity grew and it
crowded the Empire lheater for 200
nights, and was at the height of its sue
cess when IL had 10 be Withdrawn to per-
NIT the company TO fulfill its Chicago en-

| for the past four months, and from where
it came direct to California. 1t will be
the opening play at the Empire in No
vember, when the stock company returns

period To which the play belongs calls for
colorful costumes, and the representations
are said TO be charmingly pictorial as well
as dramatically artistic
The piece met with great success in
San Francisco. The CdIt said of it: sit
is play calculated TO reach the heart. 1t
is treated with beautiful pictorial rich
ness and delights the eye as well as the
intellect. 1t is a play that sets the peo-
pie to thinking. 1t was more earnestly
and enthusiastically discussed in Gotham
than any drama seen there since Daniel
Rochat.' " The same paper says the play
is given by mastertul players, and that
there is not weak actor in it. and that
the execution is taultless. The troupe
