George Arliss in the role OF the Mar
quis of Steyne is a delight to the ex-
acting eye He fits into the shell of
the insidious. velvet tengued. aged and
exper@nced wanderer from his own

gives US a marquis that easily ranks

his walk is an upright creep. and with

Hcandida's" Cheokered Career.


After considerable insistence on the
equal hesitation on the part of the
manager of the theater where a presen-
tation was sought, Candida" was given
a trial matinee in New York a year ago
at the Princess theater. The piece
the public talked about it. Anybody
Shaw's plays was in great demand az
play was assigned a number of matt
nees at the Madison Square. Soon it
was allowed evening performances also.
and it's success seemed assured. But
the Chicago 4ire led to stricter investi~
cation of New York theaters, and the
Madison Square was among those de-
clared unsafe. Candida" had to go.
but where? Luckily the Vaudeville
theater was available. There the play
seemed to have made a change for the
better. Society had begun to talk about
1.-THE novelty. the charm, the new
ness Of it-when the Vaudeville was
also declared unsafe, and again the
play was homeless, but not for long.
The Carnegie Lyceum was secured for
matinees, and later on the StroIlerR
club for evenings. At length the
Vaudeville management completed the
improvements required by the fire au-
thorities, and candida" once more
took possession. Through all these
changes the patronage OF the piece
fully compensated the management for
the worries entailed, and the comedy
won out as one of the star dramatic
successes of last season.

er inclined to believe that it will spread.
candida" is to other plays as a minia-
ture is to panoramic paintings of great
battles. 1t is a dramatic gem, replete
with satire, epigram, wit, sincerity,
farce. misunderstanding and misdirect-
ed sentiment. The situations are rich
in humor, and the fate of the erotic
young poet Marchbanks leaves one in
doubt as to what the play really means,
after all.
Lester Lonergan has been chosen to
head the Candida" company. His long
experience and undoubted merit make
the success of the play certain. He has
won favorable mention in practically
every large city from New York to San

A woman's Opinion of "candida."


Candida, the woman in the candida"
play, has been spoken of by a promi-
nent authoress who has given the char
acter much study and thought as fol-
lows:
I'm the first place, like the character
because the story grows up about a
woman who is doing a real woman's
work in the world-attending to all the
petty details of her own and her hus-
bands home and doing the work her
self. Most heroines in plays either have
things done for them or they are heroic
working girls struggling against all sorts
of trials and temptations. But Candida
does the work herself and rises to the
dignity of it. Then, she is purely wo-
manly, making the husband the master
of his home by her love of him. even
though he never asserts his mastery"
In this problem play by George BerS
nard Shaw Candida is the wife of a
genial, hard working and eloquent Eng
lish clergyman She is a woman OF
thirty-five, charming, beautiful and
broad minded, and her dignity of char
acter makes her an ideal woman for
the man by whom she is loved. Her
husband scarcely comes up to the
standard of what she really merits as
far as outward expression or manner
oetrays his appreciation, but he truly
owes her, and she reciprocates his af-
lection. The way in which she proves
the loyalty of that love has made the
play great favorite among women.
