HENRIETTA CRosMAN.


The scenery and costumes in The
Sword Of the King the comedy which
will be presented at the Crawford theatcr
next Saturday night by Miss Henrietta
Crosman and her company. are worthy
OF a special consideration. Nothing hand
somer. richer. more costly or effective
was ever presented on the stage. All If
these accessories are new. having been
made for Miss Crosman's recent engage
ment at the Grand opera house Chicago.
The preparation Of this production is one
OF the marvelS Of dramatic achievement.
More than SEQ persons were employed
continuously night and day in complet-
ing the stage mountiues The result was
a setting for the comedy far more hand
some and elaborate than that which has
been used in New York and the east.
Ronald McDonald's play. The Sword Of
the King" offers liberal opportunity for
rich scenic effects and costumes There
are five scenes, showing handsome exter-
iors and interiors Of stately old English
homes. while the dress OF that period
calls for a gorgeous display OF velvet
and six and lace for both sexes. The
play itself is intensely interesting. with
out a duh moment from curtain 10 cur
tain. The action is rapid the ciImaxes
dramatic and effective The chief ele-
ment IS comedy. which IS made the more
telling by contrast with powerful and
emotional situations. I. has been said Of
Miss Crosman that in The Sword Of the
King she does her best work She re-
veals herself both IS the comediensse
and the emotional actress. The charac-
tiers in the play are uucommonly well
drawn and all are exceucn,ly portrayed
by one Of the best companies that ever
appeared in this country.
