From Milwaukee come reports OF Marie
Burroughs misfortune in having Maurice
Barrymore as leading man. for, according
to the telegraphic stories. the well-known
actor has been responsible for the almost
utter failure of the performances, not
outstanding the dramatic version Of The
Battle of The Strong" in which Mss Bur
roughs is appearing, is admitted to be one
of the best stage adaptations of novel
that has SO far been produced this season.
The production is under the manage
ment of Daniel v. Arthur. whose stock
company occupied the Columbia Theatre
last spring, and who is in addition Stuart
RobsOn's manager. The principal cause
for complaint about Mr.. Barrymore is that
he cannot remember his lines, and that
the few he is able to recall while on the
stage are mumbled in an incoherent man
ner. Miss Burroughs has been so upset
by the peculiar actions of her principal
support that it is said she is in danger
Of 4 collapse.
The matter Is OF particular interest to
Westinghouse, as THE Battle Of the
Strong" is booked to appear at the Co
.lun:bia Theatre in few weeks, and the
inability of Mr.. Barrymore to enact his
part may necessitate closing the tour for
a week or SO before the date Of the local
engagement, while another leading man is
secured.
