Miss Percy Haswell who will head
the Haswell company, is admitted to
be one of the most promising Of Amer
lean actresses. The fact that she has
been chosen as leading lady by Rich
ard Mansfield for next season is proof
positive of her artistic merit
Since her appearance here two years
ago she has broadened in her art and
her every presentation is marked by
an originality of conception, indicative
of the true artist. Mr.. Fawcett will
direct the company, and will, during
the summer, be seen in several plays
Much care will be given to the diff

be made to make the season as enjoy

One afternoon. when there was no

found a very promising subject for
study in an time Virginian who
kept cigar store. Purchasing cigar,
he tried to draw the old gentleman into
conversation, hoping and expecting to
hear some choice specimens of Eng
lish as she is spoke" down South. But
the old gentleman was not cOmmuni-
cative. He confined his remarks to
monosyllables, and, try as he would,
Farnum could get nothing more than
"yes" or mo-" or well, we'll"
Finally, in despair Of getting what
he wanted any other way, Farnum
frankly explained the object Of his

The old gentleman looked at him

term signifies, and for 1t the public
should be duly grateful.
: The susceptibility to the supernat-
ural, which exists in every human
breast, no matter how extravagantly
civilized, invests a drama like 1.-The
Proud Prince" with an indefinable
charm. We may not believe In mira
cles-those recorded in Holy Writ are
doubted by many in this distrustful
age of trusts-but there is neverthe-
less a fascination in a we'll written
play, which derives its inspiration from
a miracle. THE Proud Prince" is one
of these; so no one need wonder at its
] popularity. And, indeed, its author had
ample warrant for his effort What
dramatic poem more divine than
Shakespeare's 'Tempest?" What pas
toral in dramatic form, more fascinat-
ing than his Midsummer Nights
Dream" with it's gossamer threads of
fancy? <4
Certain features of 1.-The Proud
Prince" We're commented upon by the
writer Immediately following it's pres
entation early in the week It's beau

tton, poetic phrasing and delightful
framing of the love sentiment stirred
every sensitive soul. That is why it's
one piece of melodramatic clap-trap
Jared upon even the confirmed skeptic.
In that church scene, where the soul
purged King, still in the form of the
despised Jester, wields a mammoth
cross in mortal combat against a lib
ertine with sword, almost as long as
the cross, you are confronted by a
proposition that is as ridiculous as it is
Sacrllegious. Whatever your religious
creed may be, your common sense re-
volts at the physical victory of the
sanity monk with an unwieldy stick of
wood over an athletic young man with
an elongated, cleaning sword that
might thrust his adversary's ribs apart
before he could raise the cross.

matte as the situation is, heralded as 1t

applause. Why? Because the dra-
matist had made a false move. a pal
pable bid for the plaudits of the bar

One cannot but perceive that Mr..
Sothern feels this as the curtain is fall
ing.
Mr.. Sothern's next visit will be
awaited with the keenest anticipation.
Inasmuch as he is to join forces with
the exquisite Julia Marlowe next sea-
son, it is doubtful whether ST. Paul
will see him for a twelvemonth. as
these joint exponents of the Shake
spearean drama will doubtless be In de-
mand in the larger centers of popula-
ton, where there are enough appre
ciators of the divine William to make
his exploitation profitable.
Otis Skinner comes here with a less
pretentious dramatic vehicle than THE

pastoral by Richepin, called "The Har-

ERIK OF SWEDEN" AT THE
GRAND.


The Northland singer, Ben Hen
bricks, in Sidney r. Ellis new play,
Erik of Sweden will be the attrac-
t1on at the Grand this week, Begin
ming tonight. 1t is a play that is said
TO leave pleasant flavor, a flavor of
rustic romance and brave deeds of
goodness and simplicity, rising tri-
umphant over vfllainy. Mr. Hen
bricks is an actor of the type made IA
miliar years ago by Joe Efnmet.
The story of the play is, laid in the
attic lodgings in New York city, where
is installed Erik Trescow, a. Swedish
nobleman in reduced circumstances;
his ancestry. once powerful in Scandi-
navia, became exiled for a political
conspiracyhz against Sweden's king,
Charles -XV,
Erik had come from his native land
on the advice of his brother to seek an
old friend of the, family Though a
I clever architect, he. finds living rather
difficult among a strange people with
strange language. He is on the verge
of despair when the friend he had
been seeking in the person of a
wealthy country gentleman, Mr. Allen
strom, from. the Lake Superior region,
suddenly arrives in time to rescue
Erik from imprisonment for debt
Mr. Allenstrom promptly engages
Erik as the general overseer of his vast
SSIdlSS III the W6SIy eWn6r0 the acL1On-
of the rest of the play takes place.
Erik makes himself valuable, and in
saving his benefactor from a robbery,
he accidentally discovers a secret
which reveals Mr.. Allenstrom to be
guilty of great treachery to his family
This secret Erik forgives, partly out of
love for Anna Allenstrom and also
from gratitude for having been rescued
from misery in New York. In the end
Mr.. Allenstrom confesses his duplicity
and insists upon restoring to Erik all
that is rightfulIy his.
During the action of the play Mr..
Hendricks will sing six new songs,
Fair Land of Sweden" "Philopene."
"Northland Lullaby Pass II, "a,
That's My Friend" and "Scandina-
via.'' Mr.. Ellis is said to have sur
rounded Mr.. Hendricks with a strong
company and the play is elaborately
mounted.

ing striking portrayal of Maslova.
The character was impersonated here
earlier in the season by Blanche
Walsh.
Though this will be Miss Stones
first appearance in st. Paul in a stel-
lar capacity, local theatergoers will
remember her as the leading woman
with Melbourne Mcdowell, when he
presented la Tosca" and Sardou's
Cleopatra" some two or three sea-
sons ago. At that time Miss Stone
gave promise of development, which it
seems she has fulfilled.
1t is said that Miss Stone does not
present such a literal picture of total
depravity and degradation in the rep
resentation of Maslova as Miss Walsh
does; that she does not cast aside all
semblance of Womanhood, but pre-
serves certain traces Of the woman's
better nature, and of the innate mod
esty fostered by her early bringing up
and environment, and that for this rea-
son her impersonation is not SO shock
ingly realistic.
A competent supporting company is
promised, as well as adequate scenery.

for Mr.. Skinner is to be doubted. Yet
1t may. The public is tickle jade,
but most constant when touched in a
vulnerable spot.
What Mr.. Skinner needs in the way
Of new play is one that gives him a
character of more authority than that
OF wandering gypsy, or a mythical
prince brought up as savage. His
abilities are not afforded full scope in
the character of a gypsy, knight of
the road, who delights in evading the
responsibilities of manhood "a man
who knows no parent, and is tardy in
discovering his son.
When Mr. Skinner gets a new play,
let 1t contain dominant character that
will command our respect for his in
