MISE REMARK As ~cIGARETTt"
At Colonial Theatre Monda,
Night.

The management of the Colonial The
atre experiences particlar pleasure in an
nouncing as a next attraction the stu
pendous production of Paul NJ Potier's
romantic drama. Under Two Flags,
founded on 01ida's novel Of the same
title for Monday. November 10th. The
attraction offered is the Identical one
that was regnant in New York for over
ten months, playing to 4 succession of
the largest audiences in the history of
the romatic drama Ii will be presented
here with the same wealth of scenic ef-
feet that marked its metropolitan pro-
duction and introduces Miss Jane Ken
mark in her brilliant Characterization Of
Cigarette the'heroine of Ouida's famous
romance. Miss Remarks success in the
middle west and east, where her popular
ity is unquestioned, was quite ASSUMED
before she undertook her present starring
tour. There is no star TODAY whose
training has been more complete and
thorough, and who has better claim 10
preteutious recognition. For years Miss
Remark has been leading woman with
notable stock organizations, whence the
large majority of stars are graduated,
and where she was called upon for the
portrayal of an almost endless variety Of
parts, from light comedy 10 tragedy and
all the intermediate steps. As result
not the expression Of single emotion
has escaped her duty and effort. and she
enters upon her stellar career fully quail
fed 10 give any phase Of histriOnic simu-
lation and intelligent exposition. Miss
Remark invests the role of Cigarette
with fiery zest and fervor and makes
the passionate heroine the very incarna-
ton of love and self abnegation Her
portrayal is said TO realize the ideal of
the author and stands today as one of
the most fascinating of stage creations.
There have been numerous plays
founded on Ouida's novel, but not until
now has the book been adapted to ro-
matte drama. Lolita years ago presented
Cigarette in comedy, a conception OF
the character wholly apart from that OF
the author Since the phenomenal sue
cess of Mr.. Potter's version, various
companies have presented dramatizations
that have been weak limitations of the
original. The story of the play deals
with the love and life sacrifices OF Cigar
cite for handsome English guardsman
in the army of Africa. The scenes are
largely laid in picturesque Algiers. Ber-
tie Cecil has been defrauded of his estate
and separated from his bethrothed by
the plotting of a cousin, and joins. the
French army of occupation in Africa.
There Cigarette is attracted to him and
makes no effort to conceal or check her
untutored and passionate regard Tor him.
In moment of jealous madness she be-
trays him, and in supreme sacrifice gives
her life for his TO undo the wrong. liz
is while she is riding with reprieye for
the man she loves that the principal in
cident of the play occurs. Cigarette
reaches Chellala Gorge where she is at
tackled by Bedouins. To escape them she
dashes on horseback up the steep noun
tain side in the midst of a terrific sand
storm. The effect of this scene is to in
variably arouse an audience to the pitch
of demonstrative enthusiasm. Not since
the DAYS of the hurricane scenes in Fan
ny Davenport's "Cleopatra" has anything
so thrilling and realistic been seen on
the stage Three carloads of scenery
and effects are carried for the produc-
ton, giving it the greatest scenic inves-
ture of any dramatic enterprise on tour
at reasonable prices. Upwards of one
hundred people participate in the stage
action. Miss Remarks tour is being di-
rected by . ID. Woodward who purchas-
ed the production from Charles Froh-
man. The horse that is used in this pro
duction is the same horse used by
Blanche Bates two years ago.
