Slfie AT the SlSiHO
The past weeks production and presen-
tation of "A Highwayman." have made
the standing of the Giffen Company abso-
lutte in Richmond, and the doubts that
were expressed at first have given Gay
10 wondering questions of How can they
do il at The prices They couldn't very
song, unless the prosperity Of which the
Increased business Of the past week seems
to have been The advance agent should
arrive upon scedule time.
"a Gtided Fool. Is probably better liked,
and for that reason. better known here
than any other play ever seen in Rich
.noad. Mr.. Giffen has been sfowered With
requests for its production, and as MS
only object is to please; to do what viii
best meet with the approval of the puhhc,
"a Gilded Fool is produced at the first
opportunity. The play well-deserves the
great favor IN which it is held here,
favor that is duplicated in many other
cities where it has been played by Nat.
c. Goodwin, and later by stock companies.
Written by an American author upon an
American theme, il has none of the OBJ
security and none of the unpleasant quail
ties that are found in SO many OF the
comedies that come to Us from the other
side"
The people of the company are now be-
coming known to the patrons, and it is
more a question of what parts they Will
play than anything else in connection
with the announcements. Mr.. Pascoe as
Chauncy Short VIII have an opportunity
TO show his admirers that his ability does
no. lie in serious work only He has
PLAYED the roll elsewhere Very success
FULLY Mr.. kearney, who has scored so
strongly in the previous plays, will as
sumo the character of an elderly gentle
man. while Mr.. Carr viii be seen to peter
advantage than he has yet been. Mr..
Power as Jack Duval: AIR. Hawkins as
Rev, Mr. Howell who has mission:
Mr. Holland as De Peyster and Perkins,
will be a a tit bestowal of the various
male characters. Miss F'tz Allan as Mar

and Miss Reimer as Jessica Rood. will
have an opportunity to display the ability
as q character comedy artist that has
given her such q prominent position pro-
5essionally Miss Scott, from the serious
mess of Elinor Burnham will return TO
character similar il comedy and ViNacl'y
TO kitty in The Wife" that of Nell
Ruthven Miss Wilcox will have little TO
do beyond looking pretty and attractive,
no. O hard matter for her by-the-way.
The scenic features of the Giffen produc-
tons have created much comment and ad-
,niration. a just acknowledgement OF merit
far beyond the ordinary.

the week, with matinees "Wednesday ana
