nmAnAME SINS GENE. .
A Splendid Production at the Hyperion
Last Evening.

A Splendid Production at the Hyperion
Last Evening.
Miss Kathryn Kidder and a compe-
tent company presented an English
version Of yictorien sardou's Napoleon
ic comedy, MADAME Sans Gene" at
the Hyperion theater last evening. 1t
was one of the most delightful events
of the season. The audience was not
al large as the performance is deserv-
ing. Miss Kidder made a distinct per-
sonal success.
Madame Sans-Gene," which has
been translated on the program Mad
anne Don't-Care," and by the inexpres-
sible Chimmie Fadden as Madame
What-t'ell' is comedy in three acts,
and a prologue by Victorien Sardou,
who enjoys the reputation of being the
most expert playwright of the day.
The play made a great hit in Paris,
where it was acted by the famous
coincidence Rejane. Later ReJane
played it with French company in
this country where. although critically
rejoiced over, 1t failed to win popular
favor, Miss Kathryn Kidder secured
the American rights to the English YER
sion and had the courage to present her
production at the same time when Re
jane was playing it. Miss Kidder sur
rounded herself with competent COM
pany and furnished the piece with elab-
crate and costly mountings. She en-
loved a considerable measure of sue
cess in New York and won no little
praise for her own acting, which, If not
great, was earnest and intelligent.
Since then she has been touring the
country quite extensively and the piece
is well on its second year.
The comedy is worthy of the man
who contrived Fedora and la Tos-
ca" The situations are so mechanical
ly perfect that you almost hear the
click of the wheels. Such facile tee
mic in all matters of stage device and
theatrie dialogue are not seen in the
products of any other playwright to-
day. Although much is lost in trans
lation. and the atmosphere was dis
tinctly American with the actors of last
evening. still the charm of the piece re
mains. and Miss Kidder's personality
covers multitude of sins. Miss Kid
der shows excellent feeling for the COM
edy of the part and is equal to the emo
tional passages. She has considerable
individuality and her mannerisms are
not unpleasing. She deserves the sue
cess she has enjoyed.
OF the company many things might
be said, some of praise and some other
wise. Several Of the original cast have
been replaced by less competent people
The best work among the men was
done by Harold Russell as Leferore and
Wallace Shaw as Fouche James
Cooper was the Napoleon and played
with force The rest were fair. The
cast employs a great many people.

The mountings and costumes were
costly and appropriate and very elab-

and Ellen Terry in the title role will be
