The announcement of the joint ap-
| pearance of Louis James and Freder-
| lex Warde Wednesday night in THE
| Tempest is particularly attractive be-
cause tfkOse plays which have been as
ISOLATED with the great artists of by
| gone times cannot successfully be ex-
| plotted, except by their acknowledged
successors. THE Tempest" although
regarded as the most faultless piece
| of dramatic work known in any Ian
| guage, would not draw an audience
large enough to pay for the expense
of advertising 1t, were it presented by
cast of unknown players. But with
Mr.. Warde and Mr.. James. the legiti-
| mate successors of the Booths. Bar
|
players now only a memory, the pub
lie is assured that the lines of the poet
| will be spoken as they should be, and
that their ideals of the characters will
not be shattered. What the late Au-
| gustin DAILY did for the great MASTER
pieces at his New York theater Wag-
| enhals G. Kemper have been and are
doing for the provincial cities. Seats
will be on sale this morning. The prices
are: Orchestra, $3.50; balcony, 81, 70

time humorous devised. The cowboy

Ella Warren Harmon will assume the
role of the lady. Teddy North, the
| cowboy, is an Eastern college man own
ing a ranch in Colorado and being
greatly loved by the plainsmen for his
bravery and strength. He loves, silent.
