A review of the Tucson theatrical
season which is now half over, dis
closes the fact that Manager Grossetta
has presented to the Tucson public at
least a half dozen good performances.
Without doubt the best show given
here this season was "On the Quiet"
with VIM. Collier. He is the best
known and most successful actor who
has appeared here this season and his
New York company was intact. His
engagement proved to be quite
theatrical treat for Tucson. The vete-
ran actor Melbourne Mcdowell also
appeared here this season but he has
lost much ofthe prestige and reputation
that he gained while playing with
Fanny Davenport and Blanch Walsh.
He is now acting his old plays on his
past reputation. but by those who had
never seen him in Cleopatra or La
Tosca, his productions were consider
ed good.
