This Weeks Offerings at the Theaters
WALTER EDWARDS SEEN
AS SHERLOCK HOLMES
Capable Young Actors Success in q
Dramatization of Conan Doyle's
"The Sign of the Four"

One Of the most delighted audiences
that ever filed a playhouse from par
quet to gallery filed out of the Lafay-
cite Theater at the conclusion Of the
performance last night. The attraction
was a dramatization, by Charles P.
Rice, OF Sir Conan Doyle's THE Sign
Of the Four" While the dramatizer' s
work failed to do justice to the great
novelist's story. in that he fell far short
In presenting that skillful narrative
even with an approximate degree OF
plausibility, yet there can be no doubt
Of his success in providing a sufficient
quantity of "thriIlers' and ample OPP
portunities for the provocation OF
laughter, and in this regard he certainly
met all the wishes and expectations OF
last nights audience.
The play, OF course, serves merely as
vehicle of the exploitation Of Sherlock
Holmes, as indeed little was to be ex-
pectcd from the compression OF the
novel into four brief acts. In tbs -
spect, however, 1t serves its purpose,
and the admirers OF the famous deteo-
tive have fun opportunity to crafty
their wonder over his deductions" The
character lost none Of its attractiveness
in the representation given IL by Walter
Edwards. who gave a consistent por-
trayal Of the famous personality as Il
mas been made familiar TO the readers
OF the Conan Doyle series. Mr.. Ed
wards adds to an agreeable stage pres
ence and a pleasing voice a distinctly
artistic stage method. 1t Is greatly TO
his credit that he refrains from ranting
IN scenes IN which a less painstal1ing
actor might easily be tempted 10 take
advantage Of the situation to impress
his audience. and the consequence is the
presentation of an altogether satisfying
Characterization. Mr. Edwards had
four curtain calls after the third act
and responded to the inevitable demand
for a speech briefly and cleverly.
OF the supporting company little need
be said. save that Mabel Hazlctt, who
appeared in the Insignificant part Of
Mary Morston, gave every indication of
ability to do justice to more exacting
demands than those placed upon her in
this performance, and that Joseph Raw
ley might do better with the part OF
DR.. Watson II he were to con his lines
more assiduously.

OLD SCHOOL MINSTREL
WELCOMED At CHASE'S
George Primrose Enthusiastically Re-
ceived-Nirvana Scores a Hit, and
Other Acts Prove Interesting.

An entertaining bin of vaudeville acts
is presented at Chase's this week, under
the leadership of tovial George Primrose
and his two youthful assistants. John
ME and Willie Foley. Other interesting
headliners IN the performance are a Sc
ries of living pictures by Nirvana and
her horse Loki and the sketch OF Harry
lie Clair.
The act presented by George PriTn-
rose consists Of nothing more than a
plain song and dance sketch. but the
mere presence Of this famous leader of
ninstrelsy carries with Il more than
plain words and boisterous humor could.
The irresistible personality Of Prim-
rose is felt when he first enters upon
the stage. His peculiar style of sing
ing in a subdued voice and his ease Of
manner brought forth more response
from the audience than would a more
elaborate act without his personality.
At the same time. the brief sketch Is
interesting. The boys give a fine bit
OF clog-dancing. and their work was
loudly applauded.
Eight tableaux were presented by
Nirvana and her horse Loki The animal
was compelled TO assume difficult posi-
tions In the pictures, but scarcely the
movement of a single muscle was per-
ceptible while the tableau was on.
"SweIls Of the Sea" was the title of
an interesting sketch presented by Cush-
man, HolcoLlb and Curtis. The singing
OF the trio was commendable. Harry lie
Clair struck the fancy OF the spectators
In his approximations of eminent &C
tresses. He also appeared to advantage
in a novelty scene, portraying Mephis-
topheles and his various subjects.
A novelty musical nuEsber was pro-
vided by Bimm. BONN and Brrr, and
proved interesting.
La Belle Dazzle, a ''favorite danseuse
Of Partisan music halls was well re-
ceived. as was also Zelma Rawiston. in
