Luxurious Vaudeville Home

B. f. keith's theater in Providence, r. L.,
which has been practically rebuilt, was
opened last week as a continuous perform
ance house, and will be conducted on the
lines which have made his other theaters
30 popular and profitable. The new theater
represents an outlay Of nearly 100000. In
some respects it Is suggestive of the Boston
house. The decorations, done by Sig To-
jettie, are in soft yellow, rose and nile
green. The ceiling is bordered by heavy
rocco frame in ivory white and gold, in
side which four panels are defined by mas
sive branches of rocco work, reaching out
from the immense center piece, from which
hangs the inverted cone electroliers carry
ing nearly 200 lights. AT either side in the
curve of the ceiling arch are two vertical
panels representing respectively the four
seasons. The proscenium arch is in the
form Of huge frame. 1t consists of paral-
lei columns of rococo work in ivory white
and gold, terminating at the bottom on each
side in broad marbleized pedestal. The
boxes are in three tiers on each side. There
are sixteen in al. The general architectural
effect of the house is Romanesque the
hrmness and severity Of which are relieved
by the rich rocco ornamentations in ivory
white and gold Wilton carpeting, beauti
ful electric fixtures and rich draperies are
in keeping with the high standard of excel
ence which prevails throughout the audi
torium. The furniture of the ladies' par

Revival of Greek Drama

A recent attempt to revive the old Greek
classic drama at the Paris Odeon appears to
have been "A failure The piece was the
"Dejanire' of Louis Gallet, with special mu-
sic by Saint-Saens. Writing of the perform
ance. Il correspondent of an English paper
says: with the exception of Madame
Segond-Weber, who undertook the part of
lole, and whose fine features and deep-toned
voice are well suited for the delineation OF
tragic characters, the actors and actresses
engaged were scarcely up to the mark, and
the mise en- scene left much to be desired 1t
may be that we expect more in classic tina
in ordinary drama. But this cannot be
helped. The men who impersonate heroic
characters must look like heroes, and the
women whose names recall the statues we
have learned to admire in our museums
must be as statuesque as their prototypes.
The author has followed the main line of the
'Trachiniae, but he has thought to improve
on Sophocles' tragedy by representing
Philoctetes as in love with and loved by Iole
The captive is told by the jealous Hercules
that she can only save her lovers life by con-
senting to be the bride of Alcmenas son.
The strength of Dejanre's motives is thus ell
hanced. She therefore hands to Iole the
tunic of Nessus, bidding her offer it to Her
cules as a wedding gift. No sooner has he
put it on and approached the sacriical fire
than the clinging garment bursts into flames,
and the hero, to end his torme nts, casts him
self upon the funeral pyre. The incidental
music, written by NJ. Saint-Saens, comprises
fifteen numbers of varying Importance"

Charles Wyndham's Mistake

There seems to be no room for doubt tina.
Mr.. WyndEam has committed mistake in
presenting such play as "The Jest" by
Louis NJ. Parker and Murray Carson, in the
London Criterion. The unanimity of the
critics on this point is remarkable, and it is
plain that most of them are trying to make
the best of bad case. The verdict of all
Il them is summed UP in the following para
graph from the Academy: "Actors, it is
commonly said, and with truth, are the
worst judges of their own powers; but
though Liston's ambition was to play Othe-
10, and Mr.. Tree, being his own master, is
actually playing d Artagnan (while l, for my
part, would cast him for Richeleu), no one
could have been prepared for such trans
formation at the Criterion. From Sir
Charles (sic) Deering in The Liars to Ce-
sare in The Jest is more than step it is
the bridging of a gulf; and, however excel
lent a quality versatility in an actor may be,
il may, like other things, be bought too
dear. Mr. Wyndham had no need to show
that he is too sound and we'll graced an
actor to play any part badly, even one that
is wholly outside his natural line. We knew
it before; and his best admirers would also
have been content to believe, what he is
now at pains to prove, that the brightest
comedian in modern farce may be an indif

Stock Companies Successful

| The stock company system, which has so
many friends throughout the country that
| ii is in a hourishing condition, also has here
and there an enemy; but the enemies of
| the system would be known if they did not
openly oppose. 1t requires no profound
| philosophy to discover the causA of their
enmity. The stock company initiates
againt certain influences in the theater that
some other things at the moment also mill
tate against Therefore it is to be expect
ed that the enemies of the stock system
should inveigh against it directly, indirectly
and through mediums not supposed to have
ulterior motives.
Newspapers in the many cities in which
took companies are in operation generally
estify to the good work and popularity of
those companies. As the 'roster" for this
.eason published in the Mirror showed,
,early forty stock companies began opera
sons this season, as against about half that
lumber of companies in operation last sea-
ion.
Here and there a newspaper under the
influence of the interest which the stock
company antagonizes-the New York Sun is
one of these few newspapers-sneers at the
work of the stock company, magnifies any
isolated misfortune to the system that
nay happen, and predicts" the
end of everything theatrical that
does not square with the peculiar interest
ior which it speaks. The facts remain that
ae stock companies continue with a fair
measure of success, and that the failures
among them have thus far been fewer rela-
lively than the failures among other amuse-
ment enterprises.
Many of the stock companies are made up
Of excellent actors and they appear in a
variety of modern plays. In several cases
it has been declared by critics that these
plays have been acted by the local compa
nies as well as or better than they were act
ed by original companies. And as long
as this is so, the public in the cities where
the stock companies are located may be
depended upon to sustain them. Dramatic
