NEW EMPIRE THEATRE.

''The Pride OF Jennico," produced by
special arrangement with Daniel Fro
ham. is the attraction at the New En-
pire theatre the present week. and though
designated great melodramatic ro-
nance It Is really one OF the very finest
productions seen at the Empire In a good
while. Though the play may leave some
thing TO be desired there is a wealth OF
beauty and romance to IL that makes
IL very fine story TO witness portrayed
It's anticipations are most delightful and
the company that plays IL is one OF really
remarkable cleverness. Then the stage
settings are all that could be desired. The
charm. the grace, the romance are deftly
blended In nearly every phase of the
story that runs through four acts. The
comedy element never intrudes. but IL
Is there and the story. deep and earnest
as at times II Is. Is never oppressive. To
those who like to see on tho stage a
pleasant story told devoid OF many OF
the rather time-worn accessories The
Pride OF Jennlco' must have decided
attractions.
Edward r. Mawson takes the chief part
OF Basil Jennico, the heir OF Tollendal
and his work can scarcely be too highly
played. II Is part that calls at times
for the display OF much energy. There
part Mr.. Mawson always seems 10 ap-
preciate and to do just what tends to
make the character most earnest one.
and all It's wide range OF emotions he
gradually yet fully travels. His work
was well appreciated last evening.
William j. Roman as Sir John Beddos,
an English friend of-Basil, has an ex-
celent idea OF the character he Is called
on TO portray and his work was even
interesting. and at times II seemed that
nothing could be improved upon. He
looked well In the courtly. uniform and
his carriage was ever worthy of the part

rather unpleasant part OF the Prince of

fully done. and he portrayed the prince
villain In an interesting manner.
The part of Baron Won Krappsitz taken
by Theodore Kehrwald. is an amusing
one. and he certainly left nothing un-
done TO see that the fun possible was
made apparent Louis Gilbert as James
Majordomo OF Jennico, was clever and
interesting.
Katherine Earle has the part of Marie
Ottilie. and II is a part OF most excellent
possibilities and interest In all the vari-
GUS phases OF the character Miss Earle is
satisfactory. Her gestures are excellent
and she seemed equally at home as mock
waiting maid and the unhappy princess.
There was no part I'm the play more
carefully portrayed than that OF Michel.
a gypsy girl Eleanora Allen played the
part. The character is an interesting one
and Miss Aliens work always won the
appreciation OF the audience Mary Nc
