PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

Yesterday morning the sale of seats be-

dence Opera House gives us an opportu-
nifty to see his creation OF the dual role OF
king and court Jester in McCarthy's new
miracle play The Proud Prince" Soth-
ern's engagement here at any time Is an
event OF the greatest Importance as un
doubtedly no other player visiting the
city has a more enthusiastic following.
His coming engagement, however, marks
an event OF added Importance, as he pre-
sents one OF the most talked OF plays OF
recent years. This is the most elaborate

on the stage, as over $50 people are en-
ployed. Cecilia LOTUS. is his leading wom-

The scarecrow In The Wizard Of Oz,-

clever makeup. Indeed the costume and
makeup are so marvelously realistic
that when Mr.. Fred Stone, who plays the
part Is first lifted on the stage and leaned
against the stiie very few people in the
audience believe that tho figure Is that Of
a real man.
He not only looks like n rag dummy-a
veritable man OF straw-but he so closely
counterfeits the rigidty OF a dummy that
nearly all of the spectators in the audi
ence are convinced that this mannilsin
will presently be replaced to- the accom-
paniment OF some hocus-pocus by the real
live comedian so essential TO the play.
Thus when Dorothy rubs the magic ring
bringing the Scarecrow TO life and Stone
utters his first speech there Is a gasp OF
astonishment all over the theatre
Not only is Mr.. stones makeup re-
markable but being a contortionist and
timber dancer as well, he Is able TO give
wonderfully realistic impersonation OF a
e-iolnted individual such as scare
crow naturally would be. Mr. stones
