The NationaI-EmpireT Theatre Com



The announcement that Charles Froh-
mans Empire Theatre Company viii be-
gin it's eleventh annual engagement in
this city next Monday evening at the Ma
ton Theatre recalls the first engagement
it played here, when the bill was Belasco
and DeMille's Men and Women" and
Charles FrohInan was only beginning
TO give promise of what he has since be-
come. That play, like 1.-THE Wife" and
THE Charity Ball." by the same authors,
was of the order denominated abroad the
cup and saucer" plays, mainly because
they portrayed the happenings which
could occur in any mans life, and showed
the highly moral and equitable way TO
treat them. All this is pertinent because
it is said that the new Play which the
Empire company Will offer TO begin this
weeks engagement is in this same class.
The story OF the play, which is Cap
tain TreYor's first dramatic work, con-
Germs a private soldier who. by h
bravery, has been given commission in
one OF England's crack regiments. He
is good fellow as well as a brave one
and in the field seems fit associate for
his brother officers. But on return o
England. where he is thrown into social
surroundings to which he has never been
accustomed, his early associations and
lack Cf refining education show them
selves, and bring ridicule and hunliiia-
tion upon him. This he strives to live
down by improving himself, but when
ne falls in love with lady Of title, who
only adInires him as a man, he learns
there is yet much which lies between
him and a gentleman born, and he de-
cides TO transfer into regiment en- for
eign duty.
William Faversham is credited with
having Gone excellent work as the rough,
good-hearted soldier, who eventually
gains polish. and knows how to conduct
himself in good society. Margaret Anglin
is the lady of title with whom he falls
in love, but who is in love with his best
friend Miss Anglin is the latest addi-
tion to the Empire company's forces,
having Joined them with the first per-
Torrance of this play. She is not to re-
place Miss Jessie Millward. who still re-
tains her position as leading lady of the
company, and who will appear Wednes-
day matinee and Saturday night in re-
vival of Lord and Lady Algy." She is
engaged as an additional leading lady, to
play those roles in which Miss Millward
does not appear. The rest of the com
pany on this visit will be Guy Standing.
