~ THEATRICAL

''York State Folks deals with the init
mate communal existence of a typical
American village. The author spent his
boyhOod days in a Central New York
town, and it is this village and its peo-
pie that he has put into his play with
what is said to be particular fidelity to
nature. The play has been a tremendous
success in the East, and has been hailed
as the leg innate successor to The Ola
Homestead and Shore Acres y
The story is simple. The characters
are real people, and the incidents such
as might easily occur in a rural COM
munify. There are several strong dra-
matte MON ants, in which the note is
never forced, and quaint spirit of COM
edy. Two men of contrasting mold and
temperament are shown One is Simon
Peter Martin, the village president, a
local magnaUe Who expects unreasoning
obedience to his wishes. The other, My
ron Cooper, a supplemented old organist
and music teacher, who from the' distance
of his mellowed years, looks back on a
youthful romance which ended with a
funeral where a bridal party had been
planned. These two temperaments clash,
and the fate of d love~affair is involved.
The young people being the magnate's son
and the organlSt'S niece.
Besides the principal personages of the
play, a pair OF clever children give some
pretty touches of the domestic side of the
drama, and there is a secondary love
story involving subsidiary characters, and
giving rise to some lively comedy IN
which disappointed lover, VINO is a sort
OF juvenile David Harum,' affords much
cause for laughter A series of village
characters provide fun enough to keen
the audience laughing most OF the time,
and it is these types that the author is
said to have adhered the closest to re-
ality. Burlesques and caricature have
been carefully avoided.
There are twenty-four speaking parts
III the piece, and the company numbers
forty. Among the principals are James
Lackaye, Ray L. Royce, Ernest Lamson,
Harry Jackson, Arthur Gregory, Ran
delphi Currie, Osborne Searle, Frank
Soule, Harry Crosby, Lydia Knott, Kate
Jackson, Mrs. Sidman, Celia Clay, Hilda
Russell, and two exceptionally clever
children, Bessie Burt and VIII GRAY.
The piece was staged under the personal
direction of the author, and the incidental
music is by Max Faetkenhauer. There
will be the usual matinee.

comes interested in every character, and
IS thrilled and amused by turns as the
plot is unfolded.
'"rhe White Slave" has not been acted
for nearly two years., but in that time
the plans for the present revival have
been carefully made. The manuscript
has been in the 4hands of the stage di-
rector who has skilfully rearranged the
stage settings giving greater scope to
the scenic painter, the property maker
and the electrician, with the result that
never before has The White Slave been
so attractive. The cast of characters is
an unusually long one and it is such
that the same care has been given to the
minor parts that has been expended upon
those of first Importance.
Not Guilty" which comes to the Grand
opera house soons has already established
itself as one of the most powerful dra-

story told is intensely interesting and
dramatic, and at the same time loglcal
and well conceived. With the powerful
cast that has been secured and the elab-
crate mounting given by its managers. it
cannot help being much appreciated Of
