Let us give thanks that Benedict's
"Quo Vadis'' did not come to Paris last
week. Of the Mt. Sterling performance
the Sentinel Democrat says that the
scenery was awful and each one of the
actors seemed DO worse than the other.
The Democrat says that there were but
eight people in the cast at Cythiana, and
that the bull was the only comedian in
the show He wore a buffalo robe, a
pair Of horns and two pairs of tan shoes,
and was an easy argument for Ursus.
The opinion given several months ago
by The News regarding the company
was not far from wrong.
So
The large and fashionable audience
Friday night at the Grand was thor
oughly delighted with ''The Little Min
lister" as given by Mr.. Chas. Frohman's
capable company. Miss Grace Heyer, a
very handsome little actress, gave
charming conception of the role of
LADY Babbie,' and made a distinct
hit with the audience. Adolph Jackson
made an acceptable Gavin Dishart, and
B. R. Graham, Cecil livingstone, George
Forbes and Howard Morgan, as the
four elders, were every good, indeed.
Mr.. Giles Shine, a sterling actor who
has long been a Paris favOrite, made an
excellent Rob Dow, acting the part to
the life. Mr.. Charles Mason made a fine
Lord Rintoul, and Miss Kate Ten Eek
as Mamie Webster, Miss Marion Con-
verse as Felice and Sadie Lauer as
Micah Dow gave good support. Other
members OF the cast We're equal to their
parts. "The Little Minister gave splen-
did satisfaction. Would that there
We're more plays as chaste and delightful.
