of it: THE portrayal Of Timothy Nc
Kenna by Edgar Selden, the author Of
the piece, and the originator the
character in England and on the Pa

"For Fair Virginia" romantic play
dealing with Gomestic episode during

at the Academy Wednesday evening.
This excellent dramatic composition is
the work of Mr.. Russ Whytah, COM
paratively unknown playwright, but
from the reception accorded his efforts
at the Fifth Avenue theater, New York,
where it received its initial production
last season, and the subsequent favors
bestowed upon its genuine merits by
the critics of Chicago and other impor-
tant points, 1t Is not beyond the range
of probability that the name of Whytal
will be linked with those whose very
mention with a theatrical offering is a
guarantee of superiority. The author
himself, assisted by Mrs. Whytal, an
actress whose future indicates for her
an exalted place among the foremost
artists Of the stage, are prominently
identified with cast Of more than Or
