WHEN xNIaKrHooD
WAS IN FLowER."

Julia Marlowe's famous original
production of when Knighthood Was
in Flower" which will receive it's
premier at the Spokane theater to-
night, gives Effie Ellsler splendid op-
portunities for the display of her
dramatic powers. In the first act of
the play dramatized by Paul Hester
from Charles Majors novel of six
teenth century life, Mary Tudor's i'm
perious. irrascible nature calls for
constantly varying moods on the part
of the actress. The spoiled sister of
Henry VIII, who was said to be the
only good woman in her brother s
court, is an April-day girl all through.
Her frank wooing of Charles Bran
don, a humble captain in the royal
guard, is delicious love-making. Her
artless appeals to her lady-in- waiting
Jane Bolingbroke, are pronounced the
! deftest examples of high comedy seen
on the stage. In her youths costume.
| worn in the second act and third, she
is charming and very comely figure
and in the more tragic moments of
the play she Is deeply impressive.
The supporting company is a large
one. The leading man, Walter r. Sey-
mour, who portrays Charles Brandon
the valiant lover Of Princess Mary
| Tudor is a handsome fellow. His
| famous duel scene with Sir Adam
Judson, as portrayed by Robert b
| Keggereis. is described as the finest
bit of sword play seen on the Ameri-
/ CT in M.
mons is a guileless and charming
| Lady Jane Bolingbroke. Sadie Harris
| is a saucy Anne Boleyn and Barbara
Douglas is a stately and impressive
Queen Catherine.

LIT THE 7HEATREJ


1.-The Fatal Wedding" at the Audi
torium.
The play is good old-fashioned
melodrama, with exciting scenes and
a climax every two minutes. But the
villain is foiled and virtue finally gets
there after a hard time of 1t on short
rations sewing shirts in tenement
garnet and dizzy climb on rope
strung over a bottomless pit. The
villain still pursues and comes on
deck again the next act in spite of his
200O-foot fall, in time to put a bullet
through the heart of his co-censpira
tor, the designing adventures bride.
The honors Of the performance
easily lie with little Lillian Rose
wood one of the cleverest child ac-
tresses seen here in many a day.
Mary Condor makes good adventur-
ess and John Mckee played the viii
lain we'll. Rosalie de Vaux brought
tears as the falsely accused mother
and Albert Roccardo created laughter
as Toto, the French butler. The
other characters were we'll sustained.
