An Eminent Actor Coming.

Mr.. Charles Coghlan, the eminent
English actor who will be seen here
Friday evening in his own play, 1.-THE
Royal Box" has made one of the great
est hits on record in the metropolis in
ten years. He plays the part of Clar-
ence the actor, the leadixg artist Uf
England in the year 1910. In the
action of the play Mr.. Coghlan is call
ed upon to make The most difficult in
depreciation of human emotions that
has ever been seen on the stage-one
which any actor not possessed of un-
usual hIstrionic talent and selfconfi-
dence would consider hazardous to his
reputation. The fourth act of the
piece is divided into two scenes. The
first scene pictures the dressing room
of the actor. and the second the stage
of the Drury Lane Theatre in London
with drama in progress. In the
stage scene the actor is presented play
ii.g Romeo in the balcony scene frem
"Romeo and Juliet" Wrought up to
state of mental hysteria through
jealousy Of the woman he loves, who
sits in the royal box with the Prince of
Wales, afterwards George Nv, he pub
licly denounces the first gentleman in
Europe from the stage for his profit
gacy. The transi ion from the love-
lorn Romeo to the madly Infatuated
actor, denouncing royalty, is instan-
taneous. The scene is one of remark
able power and is great tax upon Mr..
Coghlan's acknowledged ability to
carry strong situation without rant
ing or OVERRIDING the character he
plays. The incident is very delicate
one, and the slightest divergence from
the careful and discriminating lines on
which Mr.. Coghlan has laid down the
business of the scene would cause it to
sink from the sublimity of true art to
the plane of mediocre melodramatic
situation. We suggest that you secure
your seats, as crowded house will
surely greet Mr.. Coughlan.
