Mr.. Imhaus is delighted with the pros
poets ahead OF him and feels that the
revival OF "Corianton" will prove that
the piece has In II all the elements Of
ready moneymaker. Mr.. Imhaus
says:
Our company Is exceptionally
strong, composed, as It Is. of Broad
way and Pacific coast faYorites, and
~ considered In the east as an ALL
star aggregation. One Of the greatest
compliments that could be paid Is that
the original cast Is without exception
willing and eager to continue with the
company, even at reduced salaries.
Coleman. of the original cast, Is
with Julia Marlowe. while Miss Ma
Crane has the Leading role in the SYRIA
ouse Stock company. Joseph Haworth
Is under contract with Richard
Mansfield In the production of 'Ju-
Illus Caesar, In which he has made a
hit as Cassius. He has expressed q de-
sire TO join the 'Corlanton company,
but cannot secure his release.
In the title role we have Utah
boy who was booked with the Actors
Society Of America. He Is Alphonse
Either. The play was read before the
officers of the society last summer be-
fore they would consent 10 book their
members with II.
There are only two people to be
considered for the title role. One Is
Haworth and the other Alphonse
Ether. Haworth was tied up
with Mansfield, and Either was par
Nlois tHbdktu. vi uprising the au-
thor OF the play Of the selection OF
Either, | was surprised 10 learn that
he wrote the character OF 'Corlanton'
for the man who had been engaged to
play the title role.
"Miss Elizabeth Vigoureux. the new
Zoan Re Isobe. Is great fayorite and
society leader In San Francisco and
has sacrificed a starring tour with an.
other company TO play the part mem
toned Carl Smith Scerle, who plays
Seantum, Is perhaps the best man in
that role that could have been found.
Walter Persival will play shlblon and
viii bring out the grandeur OF that
character.
"A Utah girl will play the part OF
Rella. Miss Helen Boyer who Will es-
say that part, Is young woman OF
rare promise and VIII eventually
eclipse Maude Adams In fame. She has
held important positions In the east
as leading lady and was selected for
the part because Of her special fitness
Tor the character.
Myself and Mr. Bean, the author
have seen matters from exactly the
same point Of view from our first asso.
citation together BY being wholly pro-
fesslonal there Is no need OF any fric-
tion, Each department has its duties
and limitations We shall present the
authors version Of his own play"
