" Pudd'nhead Wilson" Revived
at the Columbia
Theater.
Rosedale" Well Put on at the Alca-
Ear and "The Fast Mail"
at the Grand.

"Pudd' nhead Wilson," Mark Twain s
interesting story, so closely identified
with the last days of poor Frank Mayo.
was the bill at the Columbia last evening,
Theodore Hamilton essaying the late
stars famous role with unusual success.
If one had never had the good fortune
to see Mayo, or If his tender pathos and
delicate humor had not the knack of
training itself on the folds of a tenacious
memory, Hamilton would appear to be
an ideal Pudd' nhead. AS it was, the
splendid imitation gave pleasure and
caused regret-a regret for him who dram
atized the story and lent all the charms
of magnetic and artistic temperament
to the creation of the principal role.
Contrary to expectation, Pudd 'nhead
was not the star part OF the play. Eleanor
Morette, by her magnificent acting of her
original role of Roxy, raised her part to
one of stellar interest and rightly carried
off the honors of the evening.
The balance of the cast was evenly ball
anced. Gladys Wallis was picturesque
in her quaint gowns of more than a
quarter of century ago and looked
like a dainty oId-fashioned painting.
Thomas W. Ross was an earnest Cham
bers, and William Levers and George
Bowers, i'm makeup and acting, were
most effective as the twins.
"Pudd' head is the bill for the entire
week, and judging by the applause of the
very large and enthusiastic audience of
last evening, crowded houses are sure 10
be the rule.

The AIcazar.

Francis Carlyle, an OLD favorite in the days
of the California Stock Company, made his
reappearance at the Alcazar in Lester WAL
lacks famous old play, "Rosedale."
.'Rosedale" is an ideal pay for a star. It's
many thrilling situations afford ample oppor-
,unities for posing, and in the rapid romantic
denouement of the story the star never misses
the "center of the STAGE" Since his last ap-
pearance here Carlyle has lost none OF the
widely exploited good looks" which made
him famous. and in addition has profted by
experience and become a most acceptable
actor. He was warm y welcomed last evening,
and after the pu. se-thrtlling curtain of the
act received four recalls.
In ."Rosedale" Carlyle is ably supported BY
Miss Selena Johnson, who made a charming
Rosa Leigh; Adele Belgrade, who appeared TO
adv antage us Lady Florence Nav and George
Osbourne as the old Romany, Miles McKenna
Gertrude Tiuball, Juliet Crosby. George Trader
and little Venie Wells add much to the gen.
eral excellence of the cast
