"a Way to Win a Woman" is scarcely
worth criticising. The hero" Harry Hal
ward, is dctcstable rascal who permits
his desire to wed good for nothing mer-
ccnary little snip to overcome whatever
honesty he may have once had and he ap-
propriates the fortune which his dear dead
friend in Mexico had bcqueathed to him
in trust for his son. In the end Harvard,
after dispelling suspicious which have
cropped up, tells the whole story himself,
having called in most of the important peo-
pie OF the play, that his long speech may
be effective. Then he takes prussic acid
in glass-and talks to it while the her

she really loves him, and that what he did
was all her fault, asks him to marry her
and take her away, or something of that
kind AS he hugs her just as the curtain
falls, it is presumed that Harry consented.

Up to the present time Mr.. Sothcrn's
acting in each new play has been distinct
improvement upon what has gone before,
but in the case of "A Way to Win NcIn-
am he is seen at his worst. The part is in
great measure an emotional one, and Mr..
Sotherns features, adaptable to comedy as
they are, are unsuited for depicting pro
tractcd grief or remorsc. To be brief he
is out OF his clement, and if he graSps the
significance OF the character of Harry Hal
ward he is at least not able to portray 1t.
The same may be said of Miss Grace kim
ball as the heroine" Madgo Carruthcrs.
This lady, not overstrong in comedy, Is
almost ridiculous in the serious work dc
manded by tho leading female role of "A
Way to Win u Woman" Mr. Sothcrn' 5
supporting people were fairly good, but
none of them seemed quite at home in
Jcromes misft play, Of which, strange to
say, the third act is the only one possessed
of the slightest merit.

Still another failure to be recorded! For
the noncc that sterling comedian, William
II. Crane, has abandoned the lighter mod
crn roles in which he is without peer
and is appearing nightly at the Star thea
ter as Falstaff in Shakcspeare's Merry
Wives of Windsor" The production has
bcen made on an elaborate scale, and Man
aoer Joseph Brooks has evidently spent
money liborally in providing his star with
thoroughly appropriate surroundings in
the way of scenery, properties, extra poo
ple and other accessories. The company,
100. is an excellent one, so that Mr. Cranes
first onDrarancc before q New York audi
ence as the fat knight was certainly made
under the most suspicious circumstances.
But the star funny though he he in the
limo of work In which his reputation has
been earned, is unable to make Falstatf
appcar humorous. He reads the lines in
n faultless manner, the business is carried
out carefully according to the best author
tiles the obesity and tho peculiar strut
are all there, but the JUNCTION, the oily lol-
litv and the unequivocal and omnipresent
complaccncy ware lacking. The audiences,
too have not been as large rs usual dur
ing Cranes annual engagement at the
star. The best bits of work contributed
by the excellent supporting company We're
the Master Page of Boyd Putnam, which
was a mastery representation of not
commanding role and the Mistress ford
of Miss Ffolliott Paget, which was always
carefully poised between earnestne5s and
merriment.
