WALKER WHITEsIDE AT THE
METROPOLITAN.

! Walker Whiteside, the ambitious
young actor, whose worthy efforts in
the field of legitimate drama have won
for him universal respect, will appear
at the Metropolitan during the latter
half Of the week, beginning Thursday
night in play entirely new to the
| local public and in a role in marked
contrast to any heretofore essayed by
him. The comedy, for such 1t Is, is
! entitled I'VE Are King" 1t is the
work of an English army officer, Lieut..
Gordon Kean.
The action Of the play is laid in the
mythical kingdom of Hamburg, and
[ therefore, like Anthony Hopes ro-
mances of Ruritania, it offers ample
scope for the exercise of the authors
| imagination, and the actors, too, for
| that matter
In reality, the play, satire as 1t is,
| is said to be not at all bad imitation
of the extravagant style of the ro-
mantle school. All of the well known
parts Of the machine are there-the
petty kingdom in some out-of-the-way
spot; the loving princess, anxious to
test the character of the man she has
| to wed for reasons of state; the mon
arch of evil life, who has to be put
out of the way; the high-handed prime
| minister, the mysterious prophet who
| foretellS disaSter-all this, together
| with the clatter of hoofs on the high
road, gaudy uniforms of strange COL
! ors, romantic scenes where the dead
leaves strew the ground, and, at the
last, the mysterious mark on the breast
which shows that the interloper is, aft
er all, the lawful king, and then the
princess, clasped firmly in his strong
arms, and the curtain falls, while with
| a sigh of ineffable satisfaction the lines
| are spoken: and love has found us,
DEAR or, See, with the rising sun
begins new life for us, dear heart-a
| life of perfect love-"
Mr.. Whiteside plays the dual role of
| King Hector and Gustavus Venner.

trayals with an appreciative intelli-
gence and refinement that idealize
them This is especially true of her
Shakespearean women, who, 1t might
be observed, are more susceptible of
idealization than the feminine crea-
lures of other dramatists.
Miss Marlowes proposed temporary
retirement, so the story goes, is
prompted by the encouragement with
which her recent efforts to exploit the
plays of living authors have met. Her
latest production, Fools of Nature.
by Henry V. Esmond, an established
author, has received rigorous treat
ment at the hands of the critics, while
a play entitled "Yvette," which Miss
Marlowe contemplated producing, is
said to have disappointed her.
But, whatever the cause may be, the
fact that the actress contemplateS
withdrawing from the stage for nearly
q year has aroused much comment and
speculation.
The reflections of one Chicago re-
viewer of things dramatic are worthy
of special note in this connection.
Under the caption, What Shall Maude
Adams and Julia Marlowe Do to Be
Saved ?"-for Maude Adams has en-
her latest venture, 1.-THE Pretty Sister
of Jose"-this dramatic writer says:
Miss Marlowe will be obliged to fol-
low the dictates Of her conscience and
the lessons of the last two seasons and
return to the one phase of the players
calling she understandable reading
and Interpretation of the Shal1espear-
can comedies, or take new lessons in
the art of Interpretation and character
drawing. She will be obliged to ac-
quire, as well as she can, the creative
instinct that she lacks, for the new
plays are written for women with a
broad, full, adaptable talent and a
grasp of complex natures and DISPOSE
lions.
"rhe Mrs. Campbells and Mrs.
Fiskes, the Margaret Anglins and the
Mary Shaws and the Clara Bloodgoods
are setting the pace for the actresses
who think and study and interpret and
do not merely act. and the player who
is cute and beautiful and lovable and
gentle-Voiced and no more, has either
got to remain in her own class OR de-
clare herself out of the running-as
Miss Marlowe was reported to have
done last week. The middle ground is
being gradually but surely swept away.
They have either to stand or get from
under, as the slang expression has it,"
While the admission that Miss Mar
lowe understands the reading and in
depreciation Of the Shakesperean COM
edies" is quite indisputable, the subse-
quent assertions of the writer are by
no means of infallible axioms.
That an artist who has given toethe
stage such delightful, such radiant,
such flesh and blood portraits of Rosa
lind, Viola, Beatrice and Imogen-
Shakespeare's matchless wornen-must
needs take new lessons in the art of
Interpretation and character drawing"
is an astonishing proposition, to say
the least. Pray, what superior or high

made to save the buildings the blaze
spread to Majors meat market and
soon the two buildings were in ruins

efforts of the fire-fighters that the
bank building and furniture store or
either side were saved from destruc

fire have proved fruitless though it is
not believed that it was of incendiary

timation that Carroll D. Wright will

probably easily step into his shoes.
For several reasons the latter posi-

commissioner is virtually law unto
