ARlLONA III DE L 6ESEN ILIO
TONIGHT.
Arizona" will be presented at the
Hyperion tonight and tomorrow
night. The piece is as full of bright
color contrasts as the changing COM
binations of a kaleidoscope. 1t fairly
pulses with fresh, vigorous, active life
of the young west. 1t has a love story
as tender and almost as tragic as that
of Romeo and Juliet, and it has relief
work of humor as ripe and unctious as
that in which Mr., Thomas has previ-
ously shown us in Alabama" and I'm
Mizzoura.''
When the critics have said of Arr
IONA" that it is better than Alabama"
they have said all that they very we'll
could say in praise of an American play
and that not one but where every one
of the leading writer's of the New York
and Chicago press has said repeatedly
during the unparalleled runs of four
months eah of the piece at the Herald
Square, New York, and the Grand OPP
era House, Chicago, and the Academy
of Music, New York.
That ARIZONA" will be richly staged
and excellently we'll acted is guaran-
teed by the names of the artists who
painted the scenes from actual sketches
in the territory of Arizona, the names
OF the clever actors whom Mr.. Thomas
has chosen for the principal roles of his
piece. The scenes of act 1 and 4, Can
by's Ranch" near, Fort Grant, in the
Aravaipa valley. were painted by Wal
ter Burridge from sketches specially
made by him in Arizona. The drawing
room was painted by John Faust from
actual rooms at the ranch and military
post. The decorations. costumes and
accoutrements were all chosen and ar
ranged by that eminent on western life
and customs, Frederick Remington, the
artist of THE Man and the Horse"

finished actor. In temperament, voice,
gesture and grace of movement he real
lied the part of Jack Frere to the full.
He Is undoubtedly fine actor and
measures fully up to his reputation in
every way. The great applause that
greeted him was deserved,
Miss Fay Davis, who was introduced
for the first time to an American audi
ence in the part of Wilhelmina, is
winsome young woman cd SPLENDID re-
serve and magnetic quality. Her voice
Is low and sweet. Her movements give
the impression of unstudied grace and
she possesses the gift of artistic art
lessness which makes her acting nat
ural and convincing. She was cordially
welcomed and greeted with hearty APP
plause as the play progressed.
Miss Hilda Spong gave an excellent
portrayal of the fascinating woman
who managed to conceal her real char
acter till disaster overlook her and
threatened exposure when she made
diplomatic retreat. Miss Jeffreys Lew
is was a spirited and enjoyable Mrs.
Greayes. and the other members of the
company plaed their respective parts
in a way that realized the Frohman
standard, which is the highest praise
they can receive.
The scenery and costumes were elab-
crate and there was no lack of picto-
rial accessories.
