Creston Clarke Today.

Crcston Clarke, who will appear at matinee
today as David Garrick and tonight as Richelieu,
opened his current season in Philadelphia, and
after his first performance the Record had this to
say of him: "A Creston Clarke engagement ia
always n genuine event for the host of local ad-
mirers OF this sterling young interpreter OF classic
and romantic drama and OF the notable roles of
both comedy and tragedy. His gamut has wids
range, us behts this son OF comedy (John Sleeper
Clarke, and this nephew OF tragedy edwin
Booth.)
Credit is certainly due to his achievements
for every role that he depicts is interpreted in
scholarly, solidly traditional and highly effective
STYLE which shows that inspiration is not lack
ing, His Richeleu, Garrck, Hamlet, Matthias and
Don Caesar de Bazan are all fine portrayals, each
being beyond the art OF the average popular
actor, who gets so much newspaper notice and
who gives so little genuine acting in return. Mr.
Clarke stands in the front rank, and is we'll wor.
thy of the play'goer's attention and applause in
every role he has undertaken, His supporting
companies have at times been weak feature OF
his popular appeal, and it is pleasure TO note
that he has efficient support this year"
