The company was very good. The
only bit OF character acting being by
Lawrence ! DWELL, who played the Dau
phin. Chas. Hanford as the Duke de
Nemours had a STACEY role and play e l it
conventionally. The play is an histori.
cal drama. and does not detach itself by
anything striking from the hundred r
more have seen.
Mr.. Keene's make up was extremely
clever. 1t was impossible for the audi
eEcs to discern where the man ended
and the make, up began. In the bright
est light he was the exhausted result Of
unrestrained vic, and mean soul.
We have been trained to expect pretty
women with forms not too prudishly
concealed. but Keene addresses himself
to the intellec. alone in Louis XII. The
feminine temptations in his company
were reduced to the minimum in number
and quality.

kings He grovelled at the feet OF
priests and assassins with superstitious
and physical fear utterly lacking in 10y
atty. To be sure, before Louis elevenths
time the King OF France was merely an
overload. and the historical Louis was a
coward. but within a narrow range he
had absolute power. The habit Of power
lends dignity and royal bearing even
to canaille like Louis. Keene's Louis is
never King. Ga his throne, surround
ed by soldiers, he is the meanest OF them
all Choking, gasping. screaming
throughout the play, he leaves himself

MIR. Keene is distinctly an actor Of the
old school, a school which has not felt
the influence Of realism or of that pc Gu
liarly modern movement which Ibsen's
plays and buses acting best illustrates.
Bearing in mind that Thomas Keene is
keeping alive the traditions Of perish
ing system, that hs represents the mcth
DDS of another Keen and his contem.
porariee, of Forest and his dramatic an.
ceetry, it is still difficult for critic con
vert to the school Of Edwin Booth to do
Mr.. Keene justice. 1t is necessary for
effective stage representation OF any
emotion or passion, to exaggerats it, just
as life eize figure on top Ct a column
must be made several times life size 10

In the days gone by it was a somber

est aprons are made of the finest white

Some of the lace aprons have pastoral
pictures IN which figures are introduc-
ed and. are very quaint looking with
their floral borders. Still others are
embcllished with butterflies, birds and
blossoms.
Men like aprons, so Il is pretty safe
