PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.
Regular Season Opened with Pleasing Perform
snce Of Rip Van Winkls."


Little Meenie ...........N Nergie Glyndon
Little Heindsick ....... Harold Walsh
The regular season at the Providence
Opera House opened last evening with
the Jefferson Comedy company present
ing RIP Van Winkle," and the initial
performance was one that gave much
pleasure TO the theatregoers in attend
ance. If the audience was not as large
as the very interesting and careful per-
formance deserved. that was the loss
OF the absent ones. AS for those who
did attend. there could be little doubt
that they had very enjoyable evening.
or that they thoroughly appreciated the
clean comedy, and the touching pathos
OF one OF the most delightful of plays
that has ever been placed on the stage.
This was made evident by the generous
applause extended and the curtain
calls given Mr. Thomas jefferson
Mr.. Jefferson in the title role had a
difficult task in that his work necessar-
lily came into comparison with that of
his father. No actor on the American
stage, of course is 30 thoroughly iden-
titled with a part as Joseph Jefferson,
senior. with that OF Rip Van Wrinkle.
which his son essayed last evening, and
whatever one may think Of the import
ance and standing given TO his work in
that character. there is no question
that the elder jefferson for years was
the supreme idol of the large majority
of theatre goers.
His son could not hope so early in his
career, even under the guidance of so
Interested and accomplished a teacher
as his father to give a portrayal equal
TO the latter's, but the younger Jeffer-
personation in which the many phases
OF the character OF the drunken but
good-natured vagabond were excellent
ly developed. He was merry and reck-
less when the occasion called for IL, and
in the pathetic scenes he was effective
and finished The performance lacked
nothing in human interest. and that the
work OF the company was in every in
stance good was not only evidenced by
the applause extended, but by the hiss
es OF the gallery gods given the imper-
sonaton of the character of Derrick
by Joseph jefferson. Jr. Harry Odlin
was excellent as Nick, and there was
nothing left to be desired in the por-
trayal of the character of Cocl<les. In
teresting and clever was the work of
Margaret Hayward. both as the scold
ing wife OF Rip and as the thoroughly
discoura ged but rich consort OF Derrick.
This evening and tomorrow afternoon
and evening the same company will
present the beautiful comedy which
seems to have a remarkable freshness
and attraction for those who love clean
bright and wholesome plays.
