doubtful whether any living actor
gives the character such distinguished
authority as Mr.. James His Hamlet
is new in Salt Lake. The role Of the
Dane has for years been one of MI
James ambitions 1t is only recently
| though, that he has presented it to
the public, and this for several rea-
son. His Hamlet is radical in that it
/ departs from many Of the old tradi-
tons of the role and he feared to
| launch it when the spell of Edwin
Booths Hamlet was still upon the
public.
The new play which Mr.. James will
produce here, Thursday night, is dra
matization of Sir Walter SCOTS poem
'Marmion. 1t is a picture of the chiv-
a.lric times of good old England during
the period of the devastating wal. be
tween England and Scotland which
eliminated in the battle Of Flodden
Field. where the flower of Scotland's
chivalry fell before the victorious on
slaught of Henrys armies. The story
is full of action and life alive with in
cident and intensely dramatic. 1t
takes up the story of the book at Mar
mion's parting with Constance on his
mission TO Scotland and ends with the
death of Marmion on Flodden Field.
The play has been produced with
great success in several of the largest
cities of the east and has been pro-
claimed the best romantic drama writ
ten since THE Three Guardsmen."
Miss Alma Kruger who has Gre
ated a sensation everywhere in such
time-worn roles as Virginia, Ophelia.
and Desdemona, is Mr.. James leading
lady. She is said to be unique in that
she plavs Lady Macbeth as well as
she does Virginia.
