Well-Known Romantic Play
Heartily Received by Large
Audience. r. Mawson,

lights of a Great City"
Prove Good Melodramas.
Burlesque.

Three noteworthy factors combined TO
mark the performance Of The Pride of
Jennico," with Edward R. Mawson in the
title role. at the Lafayette Theater last
night. The play was excellently present
ed The greeting OF the audience was
highly enthusiastic. and the house was
crowded 10 the doors.
Washington theatergoers are not IN
acquainted with the merits of The Pride
of Jennico." its spirit of vim and dash
the fascinating game OF doubt and love,
the intense situations that run so
smoothly as 10 be free of rant.
On the correct portrayal OF the lead
ing character depends the life Of the
dramatization. It IS exceedingly fortu-
nate, therefore. that Mr.. Mawson is an
actor OF such qualities as TO enact the
part with pronounced ability, and create
an enviable impression on his first ap-
pearance in Washington. In fact. so
great was the enthusiasm OF the audi
ence that he was compelled 10 make a
brief speech.
Mr.. Mawson is admirably suited for
the role from a physical point Of view.
He is tall. as Basil Jennico should be;
and he shows physical prowess in the
frequent duels and hand-to-hand con-
hicts with his enemies who try to steal
his bride from him.
Mr. Mawson IS blessed with a deep.
clear voice. He recognizes the line he
tween a dashing portrayal OF the part
and the unpleasant overacting that
could easily be adopted in the frequent
intense scenes. The part requires a
shirt of keen activity. filed with 70
rance, boldness, and gallantry- In all
.hese points Mr.. Mawson showed pro-
nounced ability.
Too much praise could hardly De be-
slowed on Helen Holland for her earn Est
efforts in the role Of Marie Ottilie.
Princess Of Dornheim, who masquerades
as her own waiting maid and captures
the heart OF Basil Jennico in this dis
g1iIse. She is gifted with beauty. and
to her credit does not appear STACEY, -
but essays the character with a sim
plicity that is decidedly pleasing.
The part Of Eugene Won Rothenberg,
Prince of Lusatia, is taken by William
Hawley. and the portrayal is more than
satisfactory. AS Sir John Beddoes, the
friend of Jennico, Leon Richman appears
to great advantage. Helen Harrington
was Entrusted with the part % the
gypsy girl She was good, as were also
Wilmott Williams as the prime minis
ter and Morris Frank as the valet.
The play runs smoothly, and is good
presentation of an interesting play.
