STOCKWELL, VETERAN
ACTOR AND MANAGER,
Is TO BE BENEFITED

When the BeIascos do a handsome
thing-and this is much oftener than
appears on the billbOards-they do it
up handsomely. Such a generous
and generously planned affair is the
Stockwell testimonial benefit, to be
given this week at the Central The
ater.
The stage benefit is not uncom-
mon. The Tivoli, for example, de-
votes a night in each season to its
popular leader. Paul Steindorff. The
Grau company used to do the same
for that impecunious millionaire.

be played for the veteran comedians
benefit. Like Mrs. Fiske's glittering
name on her programmes, 1 found this
fact tucked away in a quiet corner of
the usual advance note of the Cen
trails bill Its evidence of the some
time violet-like quality of the Belasco
well-doing 1 found as interesting as
the fact itself, and 1 hasten to drag
both into such prominence as they
may here find.
StockweIl is a well and honOrably
known name hereabouts. 1t is a
name long dentihed-though it's own
er is yet hardly old enough to boast
of his years-with local theatricals.
Perhaps the period of it's largest re-
nown was during the Stockwell Thea
ter times, when the comedian chris
tened and opened what is now known
as the Columbia Theater with an ex-
cellent stock company. Some years
of success go to it's credit in local his
tory. Touchstone, of his personal
successes, is probably the veteran ac-
tors most honorably filled part,
though he has assumed clevsrly most
of the we'll known comedy roles. In
another genre his Marks in Uncle
Toms Cabin is famous throughout
the. play-going country.
Mr. StockwelPs adventures as a
manager were also pleasantly pros
porous But he sometimes missed it
as we all do Perhaps, for example. the
actor would not this week be playing
in a testimonial performance to him

short of money, as he frequently was
in those days, brought to StOckwell
the manuscript of the play. Stockwell
liked it; but more from sympathy for
Hoyts plight than through faith in
his play he handed over $1,000 for all
rights to the author. For six months
the MS. lay in the managers desk at
Stcckwelrs. For six months Hoyt hoped
impatiently for its production. But
Stockwell-although it wasn't a mat
ter of $s3.00O in those days to mount
a play-still hesitated. Then came

''The Proud Prince" perhaps the
most successful adventure of E. H.
Sothern, is in it's second week at the
Columbia Theater. The play has
aroused an extraordinary interest. It's
subject is so uncommon, its acting so
rare, its scenic setting of such, unusual
beauty. that no one Interested in the
drama should let it go unseen. Mr..
Sothern as the proud Prince of Sicily
who is transformed into his own fool
for blasphemy has added yet another
admirably successful portrait to his
long gallery. His support almost
throughout is worthy, his leading lady.
Miss Jane Laurel, being as unusual and
beautiful as his play.
''Du Barry with Mrs. Leslie Carter
in the title role, is a sensational sue
cess at the Grand Opera-house. The
production is a record one. and Mrs.
Carters ASSUMPTION of her tremend-
ously exacting role is one of the events
of recent stage portraiture. The sup
porting company is throughout suffi-
cient; in the case Of Mr.. Stevenson as
Louis XIV and Mr.. GoIlan as the vii

than now. and the orchestra is well
up to the Tivoli levels.

of record that this is the first time
