passion of the woman, and she carries
out the illusion. Mr.. Hanley. crude and
uneven in Paolo. handicapped by an
unmusical voice, still plays the yonng
and handsome lover with admirable
spirit. There are some ragged edges
about the performance, but some re-
markedly strong acting. Barry John
stones study Of Pope is excellent. and
his delineation has many points of IN
usual force and art. He was not heard
very distinctly last night at times, but
that is a matter of more accurately
gauging the theater."
The Post says: Frederick Warde is
back again, after some years absence.
and brings to US revival of that in
tensely dramatic love story, Francesca
da Rimini.' which of late has stirred
the pulse of author and poet, Offering
as it does a fruitful theme for the pen
OF the most fanciful, the most artistic
the most forcefuI and romantic warde
has changed in nothing since we saw
him last. He has had the part of Lam
ciotto all TO himself and has become
identified with il. He is the same
STACEY. self conscious actor, with a
dash OF the romantic. a touch Of the
heroic, a volume of the dramatic and
an artistic desire TO rush TO the foot
lights and talk finances with the au-
dience. Twice last night he told the
people how glad he was that he had
good house. and hoped that il would
keep up"
The Bulletin said: Mr.. warde's
Lanciotto lacks somewhat the bitter
ness. the stern fiber, the gloom that
one has been apt to associate with the
character. 1t Is a sweeter, more low
al =, VII Of
high Providence, but little warped in
nature. Sympathy is Immediately Gre
ated and perfectly held for the charac-
ter by the actor in its sad and simple
nobility. The conception is further
marked by a thorough consistency and
balance, and is notably free from the
staginess that sometimes mars Mr..
Warde's work. AS always with this
actor, the part is richly read, the So
norOus and well-modulated voice being
a continual pleasure to the ear. Per-
haps the church scene leaned slightly
to rant, but the scenes with the ma
licious jester on the eve OF the Grip
pies marriage with Paolo in the first
act. where he cries to heaven in his
sorrow, and more than all the last
scene with his helplessIy SHINING wife
and brother the actors efforts were
Win reserve anu measure.
1 called on Warde last evening to
have a chat with MIN about his impress
sions of Hawaii. but he said that he
was SO busy just then in arranging the
evenings performance he would have
to- be excused. He asked me TO drop in
again, which I shall do.
