"Florodora."

"The lifting melody of it is irresistible, "
wrote Mr.. X. Hay Chapman, the talented manag
ing editor Of the Los Angeles Herald, in an eX
haustive criticism of ''Florodora," occupying near
ly two columns OF space. But his praise went
beyond the melody. lie had nothing but kind
words for the bright, snappy libretto. The
scenic nvcstiture impressed him being the
most lavahly rich OF any which has reached the
Pacific coast. lie said the costumes were the
acme OF beautiful brightness and that the host
of pretty girls were worth going many miles to
see.
That is high praise from as discriminating a
critic as is Mr., Chapman, who graduated from
the dramatic editors chair to become manag'
ing editor several years ago, The same company
which he praised much is the same big and
splenddy equipped organization which will ap
pear in this city for three performances Thurs

Ethel Barrymore.

Ethel Barrymore in Clyde Ftc's captain
Jnks of The Horse Marines" will be at the
Lyceum theater, Saturday, March H. Miss Bar
rymore's success on the stage is interesting as
an example OF the law OF evolution, The unfold
ing of talent in the Drew family has been con-
tiuous and unhagging, and Miss Barrymore is
the last link in the chain OF actors of one blood,
each OF whom has swayed audiences by personal
character and dramatic gifts.
Miss Barrymore as Madame Trentoni, of the
play is the unaffected, natural, impulsive, gen.
erous American girl, eager and sentimental, am
bilious and brilliant, and altogether the perfec-
tion OF womanhoOd. And no more clever Ameri.
can girl could have been selected TO enact Tren-
toni with more exquisite naturalness than Miss
Barrymore herself.
The costumes OF the play are the queer erea-
tions OF Il generation ago, but in spite OF it, they
add romantic quaintness 10 the pictures sug-
gesting the sentimental days OF our grand
mothers, when young bloods carried their own
bouquets TO the adored one, and fought like
valiant knights in the days of chiyary for a
mere smile, How times have changed.
