NArL M p0TTER,s dramatlzatIon

nAuL NJ. POTTEES dramatizatlon
Of Ouidas novel. "Under Two
= Flags" is running along famous
ly at the Garden theater in this city,
where Il will remain until the close OF
the season unless previous managerial
arrangements should make that course
impossible. Mr. Potter has no superior
IN the world as a transformer OF books
into plays, and with reference to I'm
der Two Flags" 1t need only be said
that he has never done anything bet
ter He has not slayishly followed Oui-
da's story, and, TO his credit, II should
be added that where he has made
changes for the sake OF COMPRISING
the action into stage compass he has
improved the story.
The phenomenal success Of Under
Two Flags again demonstrates what
has long been apparent TO careful the
atrlcal observers-that most Of the
really sensational hits are made either
by melodranas or by plays with meo-
dramatic tendencies. Under Two
Flags is a flesh and blood story throb-
bling and palpitating with humanity
and heart interest. The exaggeratlon
Ia only that which is necessary TO the
setting and serves the purpose of maxi
ing everything appear wholly natural.

ton she was enabled to make occasional
youthful visits to the theater, and the
performance Of Marie Jansen In Mad
iy" was her especial fascination. II
Owed IT," she says, and after seeing
her my favorite pastime was TO don my
brothers Knockers and initiate what |
had seen"
When the desire to 30 on the stage
prompted her to seek an engagement,
L was curiously coincldent that she
found her first opportunity with the
Francis Wilson company, becoming
horus girl, but soon acquiring a small
part in "Ermnie.' Exactly four years
after she had Initiated Marie Jansen in
her room at home She found herself
wearing the Jansen male garb as the
singers understudy. Her first opportu-
nifty came in Philadelphia, and her sue
cess was such that Mr.. Wilson engaged
her again, and she had a small part In
"The DEVILS Deputy" and roles of more
Importance in 1.-THE . Chleftain". and
Half King" Since her engagement
with "The Bride Elect" two seasons
ago Miss MacDonald's career has been
of such importance that most theater
goers know ii.
In June she is to become member
Of one OF the best known theatrical
families in the Countrywide Jeffersons
Miss Macdonald has bestowed the ia
vOr Of her hand upon William Winter
