Many q theatergoeT remembers pleas

by Courtenay Thorpe with Rosina Vokcs.
lie has many personal friends and adj
mrers in Washington, who viii read with
pleasure the following extraordinary praise
by Clement Scott, of the Telegraph, of his
performance of Towald Heinler in "The
Dolls II House' 1T was, however
Courtenay Thorpes TcrwaId Helmer that
was the welcome surprise of the afternoon,
and astonished both Ibsenites and anti
Ibsenites there assembled. He was Just
the well-]ooking, pFessn;ahle. smooth
tongued, plausible man, whose passion
might have been mistaken by weak Nora
for love, and whose cgotism and self
esteem might have merged in some hazy
woman's notions of strong will power
and strength of character. The sudden
and constant change of mood suggested
by the young actor was most admirable -
He was never acting at all, but We all
knew the man. COUrtenay Thorpe had got
into lis skin. Good all through, the per
fOrnance rose to its highest excellence In
the last act, starting from the impetuous
outburSt, when the husband discovers the
letter that hurts his pride and turns he
selfish, passionate lover into a frenzi.d /,
contemplate creature Here CourtenaV
Thorpe, flying in the face of all the Ibsen
tradition, dared to act, and not te, chant
or moan. and he acted with such force
and reality that we Were almost incline G
to believe that a woman, Nora or any
one else, could run away from her Gill
dren and become as obstinate as mule in
the presence OF such a wretched specimen
Of humanity. The acting was so good
that, if we may express ii SO, the man
became the hysterical woman, and the
woman became the silent, sul,en and
determined man.
But the storm of passion subsidized as
quickly as ii arose. The danger removed,
cowart6ce disappeared, and the egotist as
serted himself once more. 1t left the man
however, not only weak, whmpering end
siemoraiiZed but old, witheTed, and SCARED
with the fury of that men tai tempest The
handsome young fellow was cf;angedinto a
haggard old man. He became different
being before our very eyes. Whether we
like Ibsen or not, those who admire good
acting should not neglect the opportunity
OF witnessing this very remarkable perform

A certain New York sensational daily
made itself ridiculous last Tuesday NOM
ing. In one column appeared a notice from
which the following is an excerpt:
There is little to he said in praise OF
"A Wise Child three-act farcical
comedy by A. f. Lancaster, which had
its first hearing on any stage last night.
It's central idea, purely farcical, was
fairly funay il old-fashioned, hut the
author lacked the technical facility to
develop it and make it interesting AS
it was the piece had only an occasional
humorous moment. The dialogue was
trite and forceful and the sub-plot lad
nothing to do with the main theme
In the very next column appeared another
notice OF the same peri ormance. The
notices were not an inch apart, hut they
wereas different as black and white. Here
is quotation from the other:
"A brilliant company greeted Nj. a. f.
Laucaster's play, "A Wise SON." at the
Carnegie Lyceum last night. and it en-
thnslastically called ion the author at tie
end. Mi. Lancaster has certainly ma de the
most Of the opportunity. Himself a C1itc
