The Keicey-Shannon company, with
Herbert Kelley and Fife Shannon as
the bright particular stars of the same
organization which was seen here last
year, will present Clyde Fitch's now fa-
nous American play, 1.-The Moth and the
Flame" at the Metropolitan tomorrow
night, for three nights and matinee.
'The Moth and the Flame Is con-
temporaneous. 1t Is full of social sor-
row and social satire. 1t glitters with
clever epigram and scintillates with
sparkling conversation. 1t is intense and
Impressive without being melodramatic,
and touches lightly and gracefully on the
foibles and insincerities Of fashionable
life 1t IS a play with moral, an in
tensely dramatic production, dealing with
the fashionable social and representative
life of New York.
Both the stars and the play are favor
ably known to local theatergoers from
their previous engagement in this city
and for many seasons previous to that.
MIR. Kelley, as the central figure Of
Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theater COM
pany, is conceded to be an artist of won
derful power and finish, and Miss Shan
non, an actress Of fine art, exquisite
pathos and the charm Of gentle woman
hood. Their appearance should consti-
tute a fashionable event, for THE Moth
and the Flame deals with that class of
society which makes the fashions, and
which has made the Kelcey-Shannon
company and Mr.. Fitch's play fashion
able occasion wherever 1t has been pre-
scented.
1t is a strong drama from beginning
to end. Striking and bold originality Is
its key note. 1t is logically, if daringly
constructed; it pictures fashionable So
ciety in the most brilliant comedy col
ors, but a strain of tragedy underlies the
current of every human life. So 1t
breaks into the life of this play, throwing
shadow as deep as fate upon the scene.
The actors move about, talk, laugh and
suffer so naturally that an onlooker feels
as if the play were going on in the midst
of his own life. The presentation here
will be seen with the same company
which has characterized it for the past
two years in all the principal cities, ana
during its 125 nights run at Daniel From
mans New York Lyceum theater.

Miss Arthur was prime favorite here
In stock company days, and many there
are here today who now recall that they
predicted for her then the success that
The has since realized.
Her New York season has been emil
nently successful both from the artistic
and the financial point of view and, judg-
Ing from the many expressions of delight
and satisfaction emanating from the pub
lie. Miss Julia Arthur has added thous
ands to the already numerous phalanX Oh
stanch admirers of her art. Nor was the
tribute of public favor undeserved by this
talented actress. The character of jose
phine comprises nearly all the emotions.
the passions and the desires female
heart is capable of, and Miss Arthur has
given a portrayal of the Creole empress
which In itself, regardless of her sur
roundings, is a masterpiece of subtle de"
lineation, of studious reflection and OF
powerful delivery. Add to these serious
endowments the natural advantage OF

physical beauty, of feminine grace and of
stage settings, costuming and scenic ef-

surrounding the brilliant star, and the un-
DERIVING elements of Miss Arthur's sue
cess will be obviously apparent.
The play of More Than Queen" Is
founded upon the merely human side of
two of the most important personages of
France of century ago, Napoleon and
his consort, Josephine. 1t shows the
