FREDERIC BRYTON IN TOR
| GIVEN."-Of this attraction with MIR.
Frederic Bryton in the principal role,
supported by fine company, Sundays
Richmond Times has the following to
say:
Frederic Bryton in Forgiven that is
the way the programme read. 1t was
| a concise announcement, but IT hardly
disclosed what was In store for the au-
dience. Seldom have 1 seen an audience
as favorably' impressed. The play Is one
That appeals to interest and absorbs the
attention, hence 1t is, exactly what 1t
| is, stage success.
when an actor controls your smiles
| ana tears, and by his genius alternates
them at his Will. he Is an artist, nay,
he is u master, yes, master OF human
emotions.
Frederic Bryton measures up to
Hamlets advice to the players, as only
an actor who loves and serves faithfully
his profession, can do.
In play that is clean, strong and
with healthful moral, he not only suits
the action OF the world, but the world
to the action. and When this Is done
artistlcally. can more be required of an
actor?
Forgiven must be seen to be ap-
preciated, for 1t is one of those gems
of plays that the eyes and ears enjoy
even as much as the intellect.
There is in Bryton's work an awful
inlenseness, deep concentration of
physical force and power That Is so
great, yet withal so natural, that It is
hard for the audience TO realize its full
sway.
Richmond has stamped Brytons act

letter to the Councils.

Sunday and yesterday were two of the
most disagreeable days in the history of
the world, yet, despite frozen feet, Icy
ears. muddy trousers. drizzle and
gloom, the people laughed cheerily; even
the umbrellaless and unmackintoshed
smiled feebly, and there was q general
JOY In the heart OF man that the long
and unique dry spell had at last been
broken. and that the water famine
scare. temporarily at least. had drawn
in Its ugly head, to the relief OF Water
Commissioners, City Fathers and the
remainder OF mankind. as represented
In the city of Norfolk.
True, the rain fall was not particular
ly great; true. too, the levels of the lakes
from which this municipality derives it's
water supply, were not raised to any
great degree, but little more than an
inch. but the shower demonstrated that
1t could rain when absolutely required
to, and the people took 1t for an earnest
of more to come.
In the lakes the water is from one
and three-quarters to two inches higher
than 1t was Saturday. This will doubt
less be further augmented by drain
age. Two inches means from four to
six days supply. The rainfall for the
twenty -four hours ending at o'clock
last night amounted to one and twenty
ive hundredths inches or only four hun
dredths more than at noon. The amount
of rainfall OH Sunday was &c of an inch,
making the total nearly two inches.
Just before dark yesterday a very slight
fall of snow was noted. It was almost
inperceptible and passed for a fable
among those who were told of 1t. but
had not seen 1t with their own eyes
With darkness, too, came the promis-
ed cold wave. and with 1t termina ton

be at an end the people have learned
that In an extended dry spell Norfolk's
