Blanche Boone, sweet and sprightIv
little miss, carried off the honors
| among the women principals. She is
full of that dash that invariably wins
an audience from the start. Besides
she is the possessor of sweet voice.
Her singing of why Girls Marry
and Did He; No, lie. Didn't was artis-
tic. Miss Merron, as Kate Pember-
ton, sang splendidly, having a clear,
high soprano. and she uses it with
considerable skill. Miss Alta Yolo
was pleasing as Mrs. Pemberton. Miss
Florence Quinn's Robert Pemberton
is deserving of especial mention,
though the part is a small one. In
her one number, the quintet in "Su-
vance River" she displayed "A voice of
unusual freshness and power, and the
audience was sorry not to hear more
from her. Algernon Alspland pleased
in the role of Col. John Graham. but
was evidently suffering with a cold.
Hillard Campbell, as Gep. William Al
len, had the best voice of the male
principals. Fin Reynolds. as iona
than Phoenix. had the comedy role.

not be said that the men principals
were as competent as were the wo-
men
The show carried back to wartime
days in the matter of costuming. and
the old hOop-skirts and odd finery of
the ladies of the company brought
thoughts of other days to many in the
audience. The uniforms of the off
GERS and brilliancy of the stage set
tings made the piece one long to be
remembered from a spectacular point
of view. As picture show. johnny
is success. As comic opera. it will
have to show more spirit than was
displayed last night to arouse audi
ences. One remedy is improvement in
the characters.

Hall Gaines drama in which Edward

City" for which Pietro Mascagni,
composer of "Cavalleria Rusticana.' =
wrote complete musical setting. diff
fers for the better from his novel
The Eternal City" from which the
play was taken, and from the stage
version presented in London by Beer
bohm Tree. Donna Roma Volonna.
the heroine. is presented as Il pure
woman in the play. as il will be seen
in this city Friday evening. In the
novel and in the Tree production she
is made the paramour of Baron Bon
ELI the italian prime minister. Thus
Mr.. Caine paid a tribute to the clean
mindetness Of the American public,
and at the same time contrived situa-
tiCn in which there are far greater
dramatic possibilities than there are
in the original story, or the London
version. Roma falsely accused makes
a much more sympathetic character
than Roma guilty. When she is de-
nounced in public by David Rossi, the
young patriot and enemy of Bonelli,
with whom she is soon to fall in love.
which follow all the more intense that
his accusations are unjust and that he
must make amends to her and to his
conscience for them. Then with Roma
virtuous, satisfactory ending of the
action is pOssible-she and Rossi can
be united, which they could not in the
book or in the London play. These
strong roles. ROssi and Roma. are
splendidly portrayed by Mr.. Morgan
and Miss Sarah TruaX. Rossi is as
vital a character as John Storm in
The Christian wherein Mr.. Morgan
made his next greatest success, and
Roma is even more difficult to act than
is Glory Quayle. Frederick de Belle
vile plays the wicked prime minister.
Baron Bonelli-his original part--and
Frank s. Bangs is the Pope Plus.
