NAT GOODWIN PLEASES.
Fine Audience Greeted the Great Commedian
Yesterday


Nat Goodwin can get en- rapport with
an audience quicker than any actor on
the stage. He is undoubtedly the best
comedian of his day, and he also has q
gift for pathos that quickly reaches the
heart. An American Citizen is prob
ably the best thing he has ever done. 1t
is certainly one Of the most popular plays
that he has ever presented. Perhaps this
IS due to the fact that he is SO much
loved in the play. There is something
about Goodwin's personality that is pc
;cuiarly attractive to women. In this
Play every woman, except two, falls II,
love with him. These exceptions are
Lady Bum and the servant. One is al
ready rried and of course, the other
does not dare to look SO high.
1t is this quality or attraction for the
feminine that makes his Beresford CRU
ser SO popular. There lies the cause of
his personal popularity. His artistic sue
cess is due to his splendid technique and
the modern realism and effective repose
of his acting. Two capacity audiences
greeted him and his beautiful and gifted
wife at the Academy yesterday. Curtain
calls came in quite profusion, and the en-
ioyment of the audiences was evidenced
by a plentitude of whole-souled laughter.
Maxine Elliott is beautiful beyond COM
pare and an actress of temperament and
decided gifts. Her acting is not only de-
lightful, but artistic and finished.
THE supporting company was good, but
there was no one Of unusual merit, eX-
cent Master Willie Sheedy, who was 4
