TALES OF THEATRE


The Kennedy Players filled their
third evening of weeks engagement
i'll the Illinois theatre last night. in
which Faust was put on. The play
tonight is Mr.. Kennedy's comedy.
1.-Two Jolly Tramps," with all special
scenery and an entire change of
specialties.
The first production of 1.-THE
School for Scandal" the comedy in
which William Owen will be seen Fri
day April "a, at the Illinois. brought
English drama back from the senti-
mental mawllish path in which it had
strayed to the road of nature. Be
fore Sheridan appeared the English
stage was completely under French
influence. The plays at best were
either adaptations of the French or
were conceived and executed in the
French manner. but ''Fhe School for
Scandal opened the eyes of the Eng
lish public to the worth of their glo-
rious heritage. The drama, if it is to
make an effectual appeal must hold
the mirror up to nature. The audi
ence must recognize the types as ia
miliar or the play may as well be
written in Choctaw. An audience
does not go to the theatre to be puz-
Zled. Interest and suspense. to be
sure must be there, but it must be
interest in human beings, not freaks
or marionettes, and the suspense
must create an emotion that our rea-
son does not make us ashamed Of
These were the truths that Sheridan
brought home to the dramatists of his
day. The play made a direct appeal
to the heart and head of IA mixed as
sembly. and in that one touch of ma
ture, gallery and dress circle felt
themselves akin.
Every lover of wholesome amuse-
ment ought to know that MIA
loney's Wedding" will he at the Hi
nois, Sunday, April 20. This is pro-
nounced one of the brightest of the
comedy successes of the season. and
it is said brings with il a veritable
epidemic of comedy, romp. song and
surprise. 1t is said to contain more
dramatic good things than anything
ever attempted in this line of play
writing The cast includes such peo-
pie James i. McCabe, who as
sumes the part of funny Dan Ma
loney, the victim of many humor-
Gus matrimonial complications. and
Rose Bradbury. who plays the part
of the captivating Widow Clancy. This
will be the first and last presentation
of this production here this season.
