Andrew Mack has always been sur
rounded with pretty as well as talented
children who leave an excellent impress
sion with the ladies who flock TO sec Mr..
Mack's Mays. Next week at the Provi-
dence Opera House he will have again in
his support that little cherub, Vivian
Martin. who has appeared with him the
past two seasons. She is a remarkably
beautiful little one and is just as talented
as she Is pretty. She will be seen in
the merry schoolroom scene I'm Tom Moore

play.

Providence Opera House next week. To
those who saw her remarkable perform

mains nothing to be said, but to those
who failed to see It, why they missed the
best dramatic portrayal ever given an
Irish woman upon the stage.

Orlando, or Flammetta, the Little
Flame. is creature so whimsical. SO
responsive TO every impulse OF Joy. SO
intensely I'm love with all that glitters,
so passionately devoted TO the search for
happiness that the role promises TO stand
out with rare distinction in the gallery
of dramatic portrayals which Julia Mar
lowe has given TO the American public.
Fiammetta moves amid a maze of plots
woven about her by the ambitious Car
dinal SforZa, who dreams of a united
Italy and wishes 10 drive her from her
throne In order that he may place upon
IL man more amenable TO the behests
of Rome than is the fery queen.
Employing as the active agent of his
plots a youthful religious fanatic, lie
hopes to compass the queens destruction
The Cardinals protege, however, falls In
love with Fiammetta, and a curious sit
uation results in which the contest be-
tween love and solemn vows is pictured
with wonderful eloquence. The love
of the queen for the young zealot
transformed from mere earthly passion
to an emotion so pure and holy that she
gives up all for the sake of IL, even 10
her crown. from which she plucks the
jewels that shemay hurl them TO the
wandering gipsies singing beneath her
windows.
