Academy This evening.
Concerning Alden Benedict's Fabio
ROmani, which will be seen at the Acad-
envy Of Music tonight, the New York
Sun says: THE story of the play Is
sad, but mixed with the dark passage
of the sombre story were many enilven-
ing scenes that helped to make the
whole a pleasant entertainment. The
promised realism came at the nd of the
drama in the earthquake scene. Walter
Lawrence assumed the title role, and
was ably assisted by an excellent COM
pany. Miss Theresa Milford Miss Ad-
die Farwell and Mr.. Charles L. Farwell
were heartily approved in their several
parts. but the special feature vas the
living pictures. the most beautiful of all
stage. creations"

ton of our theater-goers Is to witness
the first presentation tomorrow even
ing of Nat Goodwin's greatest success,
Ambition" from the pen of Henry Guy
Carleton, One of Americas most bril-
liant writer's. His work is a fascinat-
ing sketch of American political life in
the highest circles. 1t is ~cleverly
wrought and sparKles with humor and
sentiment so cleverly mingled that
neither interiors with the other. The
story Of the play Is that of a man be-
trayed by his most trusted friends. who
form to overthrow him for their W
ends, 1t depicting wildly the intricate
Vaccinations Of political dealers. The
Cuban question Is a most import
ant factor throughout the entire play.
MI. Goodwin portrays the character Of
a United States Senator and Chairman
of the Committee of Foreign Affairs.
In the part he has scored a veritable
triumph. 1t has been pronounced by
York's most competent critics to be a
grand climax in that great artists
career and demonstrates his versatil-
ity to be ~unequalled in the history of the
American stage. Mr.. Goodwin's com
pany is an exceptionally strong one.
The piece will be presented intact as
given at the Fifth Avenue Theater in
New York: in fact. everything Is all
that could be desired to round out his
story to a completeness at once natural,
artistic and sumptuOus.
Gismonda at the rockingham.
At the Frothingham, Nov. %, 30 and 30
will be presented 'Gismonda." Sardou's
new romantic drama, which. Fanny
Davenport originally presented at the
Fifth Avenue Theater, New Yorn, and
which was declared to be one of the
most interesting and dramatic playse ever
turned out by the great French master
of stagecraft. The present production
Is expected to prove Of the hand
soonest, heaviest and mos imposing
ever given in this country. There Is no
other actress on the American stage to-
day who Is capable of doing the role of
'Gismonda" Justice. 1t requires all the
lights and shades of acting, and from
comedy goes right into the heavy dra-
matte work, taxing the great artists
ability to the utmost. Fanny. Daven-
port, 1t Is said, has made the greatest
triumph of ner already successful career
