Grand-..The Man I'm Black"

Walker Whiteside has certainly found a
new play in 1.-The Man in Black" which
will afford his many admirers rare enter
tainment. 1t seems to matter little what
this gifted actor Attempts. He displays an
Unborn power to fascinaue the audience in
any role Last night at the Grand the In
dianapolis public saw the tragedian depart
from his usual rule, leaving "Richelieu,
Hamlet" "Othelo" and the rest in the
vista, and showing new characterization
evolved from Stanley Weyman's interesting
novel. The new character proved to be a
weird, gruesome personality of thrilling
interest. The actor appeared as two dis
ti6ct characters. not like Louis and Fabien
of the 'Corsican Brothers." of Dumas, but
more like that hideous individuality of
Jeckyl and Hyde. 1.-The Man in Black is
a question of dual personality. one man
playing two roles, but both himself. Neither
partakes OF the characteristics of the other
The one is a brave, gallant cavalier; the
other, cringing, feeble. montebank astrol-
oyer. In these two roles Mr.. Whteside
gives great evidence of his wonderful the

IS Keynote in theatrical technique. The
lover of the first act is fervid; the old man
of the second, senile. The third act sees
Notfadame, the astrologer, still a trick
Ster, but IN the fourth his vfgOr, mind and
memory are brought back to him. Casting
aside the robes of the charlatan he stands
forth again the brave cavalier of RICHIE
lieu's bodyguard. Mr.. Whiteside, as the
young and old man. told his story beauti-
fully TO the audience. The cruel blow upon
his head in the first act took from the play
q beautiful character Raoul de Renaux,
but IL gave the audience that mystic per-
sonallty Solomon N0tradame, played by
Mr.. Whiteside in such manner that
stranger might have doubted that IL was
the same actor who had previously APP
some pretty sweetheart, Diane, Miss VOL
stan sustained her reputation for grace and
intense dramatic portrayal There was
fine bit of pathetic ana natural acting
when Diane finds her brother after so
many years of separation. Mr. Frederick
Paulding as the villianous Vidoche won the
animosity OF the audience as he had gained
its favorable appreciation the evening be-
fore in ''Richelieu" A particularly enter
tanning bit was done by Miss Antoinette
Walker who played the part of the boy
Miss Walker is an own cousin of Mr.
Whiteside, and, like him, Hoosier born.
This is her second season only and she
gives evidence OF sharing with her illus
trious cousin the divine gift OF dramatic
expression. The rest of Mr. Whiteside's
support did excellent work in the new play

engagement. The demand for seats points
to the house being sold out before the doors

Columhin,s Next COMEDY.

Three o. "a Kind" is evidently the
record which the clever brothers Paultou
are playing for during the summer sea-
sou at the Columbia Theater They have
heretofore exhibited two high cards, in
the shape Of "Niohe" and "A Man With
d Past" and A Bad Lot next week
promises TO fill their hand and beat
any two pairs"
There is something remarkable in the
general excellence of the comedies which
these clever brothers seem to turn out
profusely There is not much depth to
them, but they combine all the elements
OF laughing success in the best possible
style. Their knowledge OF stsgecraft eu-
ables them to getthe most effect out Of the
least material, while the tyrO will botch
up the best kind of situations by poor
arrangern ent. Take "Erminie" for ex-
ample; it is merely the old story Of Robert
Macaire" worked over into uperetta form,
but so cleverly did the Paultons do their
work that their version survives. while
the Old play is almost forgotten. In
spite of the previous successes of such
statue plays as "PyGmalIon and Cal
atea" and "Adonis," the Pautons, with
practically the same materials in hand,
constructed the phenomenally successful
"Niobe" Even "A Man With Past"
while savoring strongly Of previous plays,
was successful because CT its excellent con-
struction.
Consequently, much may he expected from
"A Bad Lot" when it is announced that it
is from the pens of these skilled play
wrlchts 1t has never before been pre-
\.
both England and Australia have laughed
over it's comic complications and char
actcrs. The latter are said to be especially
strong, and varied so as to give every
member of the large cast opportunities
for his or her best work All the old and
new favorties Of the Columbia stock Com
pany will be in the bill, and another
hilarious week may be expected.
