A Great Actor Coming.

Three years ago there came into
the lie Of Louisville Theatre-go-
era new creation OF the play wright's
art, bit Of strange fabric OF such
fine and exquisite texture that it fair
ly lifted above the bounds and be-
came the personifcantion OF living
romance. Much OF the charm OF
that creation was in the lofty inter
probation OF a character whose ideal
was honor There was something
unique, deliciously novel and fasci-
mating even though it was the old
story OF human life. For that play
typifed the highest conception OF
manhood and womanhood aud cast
about the interpreter peculiar
lueter. The play was "The New
Dominion" the interpreter and crea-
tor, Clay Clement.
Three years have not dimnoed the
poetic beauty and the marvellous
fascination OF Baron Hohenstauffen,
and his lines fell upon friendly and
grateful ears at Macauley's Theatre
last night, when the delightful CO.
NEEDY was presented. When the
philosophical nobleman first stumbl-
ed over English difficulties, here he
was accorded we'll merited tribute

year has only intensified that testi.
monial to this admirable actor. Les
son OF Hoheustauffen never be re-
peated so often. 1t is a conception
born OF intellect built OF the
spirit aud enduring. Clay Clement
envelopes himself with a characteri-
cation that frat drew attention
by the p rescue ess OF
its manner. That quality is still
apparent, but behind it all is the
glowing burning feeling, domiuat
lug every instinct. There is all the
old honor for woman, respect for
truth, the vindication OF justice: Mr..
Clement has only matured his art,
as his Baron is masterpiece of
character. Their is the carefully
studied walk, the accent, grsmmati.

most Of all is the beautiful sincerity,
tue symbolism of noble life.
