Probably fewer people are able TO boast
OF an intimate acquaintance with Mr.. Z.
II. Sotheru who comes TO the Lafayette
next week in The Adventure Of Lady
Ursula, than any other star actor in the
country, and yet few men possess so
richly endowed personality as he. His
countenance is clear strong and thought
ful, perfectly modelled, and surnounis a
well-shaped, manly form, that always ap-
pears 10 good advantage. 1t IS small
wonder that he has become a sort OF
beau ideal Of latter day romanticism.
One thing that has doubtless contribut-
ed much TO place Mr.. Sothern in this en-
viable and, 10 him. profitable, position. IL

evidence Of this is shown in the fact that

appearance as a star.

engaged as one of the Bijou's big head
line stars for this week. The three Vas

enough to perform at Keiths that the
advent of new act done wholly by ,wo
men is an episode. The Glover Trio are
there this week for the first time. All
three have good voices, well trained, and
they make pleasant harmony. Their first
song is done in gowns and mortar boards,
and they say they are Vassar girls. This
is rather academic and caviare, and prob

sing the Good night song from En-

j. Fl. Stoddart. the grand old man OF the

a way few people had thought him capa-

ditors with CameO-Iike direCtness and dis

performance did he permit a line to es-
cape him that indicated from the manner
of delivery, ignorance OF the smallest
meaning in the least-impOrtant word.
Easy and natural. as one who has de-
voted his life to the stage could not help
being, there was in all his playing evil
dence of the fact that he solicited no IA
vOrs and that he did not intend TO fall
back upon any false effects. ''IH kill you

first act. was given in a way that showed
how utterly he disdained over-actiOn-
The sentence came with a devotional

its suppressed pathOs and in its silent

the fathers soul, a half hour after, was
accompanied by some OF the trueSt OF
those proverbiaI touches that make the
whole world kin. The actor showed the
utmost care and discretion in all he did
and honestly earned the applause he got
as well as the tears that fell from tho

Accidents happen in the best regulat-

or more people. Despite the truth of
the above remarks two apparently tri-

Nine one night last week that injured
one of the most important scenes in the
play, gave One-half the house an eX-
cuse to laugh at instead OF with the
company and marred the entire produc-

is common one in these days of af-
fected prudery but it is not for that rea-

second act of Mr.. Burnand's comedy
there Is scene wherein Joseph Carbury
after Il day of family troubles meets hi-
daughter and kisses her good morning.
There is some Significance to the act and
from the fact that the pair are holding
the center of the stage. it is noticed by
everyone.
On this particular evening the Situa-
ton arrived and, after making elaborate
preparations, Carbury went to his uaush-
ter, puckered his lips and gave Il resound-
ing smack to the atmosphere six inches
from her face. The house laughed. F.v-
eryone knew that no man ever kisses his
daughter by mental teleSraphy and the
whole thing seemed supremely ridiculous.

have submitted TO a mock embrace nor
owen to have given it, The same may be
