LOTUS
PROVES HER SKILL
Acts Superlatiyely Well in
Moderately Good Play.

The advent of Cecilia Lotus as a star
i'm a play written especially for her by
Israel Zangwin is a combination bound
10 stimulate interest. for both author
and actress are attractive personalities
and known 10 be capable OF good things.
The audience that assembled at the
New National Theater last night had
the right. therefore, 10 expect something
unusually good. In this, however. ii
was disappointed. The actress did all
that was possible with material given
her and whatever fame and glory may
come from the presentation OF The
Serio-Comic Governess" will be hers
and hers only.
The plot is to the last degree artificial
and. worse than this. the heroine is pre-
scented from flrst to last as a most hypo-
critical young person, albeit fun Of fun
and humor. In convent she practices
all sorts of deception upon the nuns.
Subsequently she does everything pos
sibIe 20 make the woman who has en-
gagged her as companion ridiculous In the
eyes of husband and son; and in her
next place she leads double life
chlldren's gOverness by day and variety
han artist by highland glories In il,
Even in the closing OF the last act
she passes with incredible swiftness
from the shock given her by the revela-
ton Of the true character of her idOliZed
hero TO an implied consent 10 the WOO
ing-Of her more steadfast lover.
However much OF witcheFy such a girl
may display the KEYNOTE of her char
acter does not ring true No matter
how much OF native goodness there may
be in the depths OF her nature. IL can
not compensate for the readiness and
evident delight with which she practices
deception. Mr. Zangwill has created a
personality whose engagingness OF man
ner merely serves to emphasize her
psychic defOrmlties Furthermore. the
speech OF the heroine abounds in cpl
grams, some OF them exceedingly com
monplace and in a collection of cheap
Puns. THE Serio-Comic GOVerness' is
as far removed from the excellence of
Merely Mary Ann" as day is from
night
Miss LOTUS proved last night her
capability of much better things than
are provided for her In this latest We
hicle for her talents. IL IS quite pos
sibie that few of her friends suspected
TO what heights OF dramatic expression
she can rise. Her acting in scene
with her returned soldier sweetheart
was superlatiVely fine. Occasion Is also
given her to demonstrate her gift Of
Imitation her subjects including Ada
Rehan and Sarah Bernhard
The supporting company Is good in
all its cons tiTuents. Especial mention Is
due Eva Vincent, whose impersonatiou
OF Mrs. Maper. a 'nouVeau richie is
one OF the gems OF the performance,
and 10 ii. Reeves- In the part Of
Robert Maper. The play Is handsomely
mounted. and last nights audience was
lavish in its acknowledgment Of what
ever good points were offered.

Carlow than Ross Schofield and Caleb
Parker. and. like timorous youths in a
graveyard, daring and hooking the
ghosts in order to assuage their own
fears, they had so gibed and jeered at
the married state that there was talk
or urging the minister to preach at
them. but now let it be recorded that at
the moment Caleb laid his hand on
Buds other shoulder his associate. Mr.
Schoheld, was enjoying a walk in the
Tar end of town with a widow. and if is
not to be doubted that Mr.. Tipworthv's
heart also was no longer in his posses
sion, though, as it was after s o'clock,
the damsel of his desire had probably
long since retired to her couch.
For faint light on the cause of
these spells we must turn to a COM
ment made by the invaluable Mr.. Mar
tin some time afterward. Referring to
the lady to whose voice he was now
listening in silence, which shows how
great the enthralling of her voice was,
he said, when you saw her or heard
her or managed to be around anywhere
she was, why. if you couldn't git up no
hope of marryin' her you wanted to
marry somebody"
Mr.. Lige Willetts, riding idly by,
drew rein in front of the lighted win
dows and listened with the others.
Presently he leaned from his horse
and whispered to a man near him, II

tinued Lige.
Nor exclaimed his friend. Then,
shaking his head, he sighed, ''Well, it's
mighty sweet"
The song was suddenly woven into
laughter in the unseen chamber, and
the lights in the windows went out
and small lady and a tall lady and a
thin old man, all three laughing and
talking happily, came down and drove
off in the Briscoe blackboard. William
Todd took his courage between his
teeth and, the song ringing in his ears
made a desperate resolve to call upOI
Miss Bardlock that evening in spite o.

$500 Plattville woke up in August.
when the Herald became daily. 1t
was then that history began to be
made. The Herald printed news. 1t
had made a connection with the Asso-
ciated Press, and it was sold every
morning at stands in every town in
that section Of the state. Its circula-
ton trtpIed. Two new men were
brought from ROuen for the editorial
and reportorial staff, and Parker talked
of new presses. During the first week
of the daily venture Eph Watts struck
oil, and the Herald doomed the field.
People Swarmed into town; the hotel
was crowded; strangers became no SEN
SatiOn whatever. A capitalist bought
the whole north side of the square to
erect new stores, and the Carlow bank
began the construction of new bank
building Of Bedford stone on the corner
opposite the Herald. Then it was whis-
pered, next affirmed, that Main street
was to be asphalted. That was the END
of the ''old days" of Plattville.
But the man who had laid the foun-'

he reclined, gray and thin, seemingly
no more than a long afternoon shad-

lethargy that made Tom despair. The
soul of the country editor was sick in
side of him; he was weary and worn,
and pain had left him dulled, except
when he thought of returning to Platt-
Vile; then he felt physical horror. The
place did not need him, nor he the
place. Fisbee had found young rela-
tive to run the Herald, who signed his
typewritten business letters "H. Fis-
bee" in a strapping hand that suggest
ed six feet of muscle scattering ink on
its shirt sleeves.
John wondered idly where old Fis
bee had raked up a relative, and hf
