Nj. Ellis Hit.
His Success as Burke in Soldiers Of
Fortune"

Fortune"
Ii is doubtful II many superior por-
frayals OF a similar kind have been
seen on n local stage than that which
Edward NJ. Ellis. Of the Arden company.
gave last week IN Soldiers of For
tune" when he impersonated the fill
buster captain. Burke.
Mr.. Ellis has been "A member Of the
company several weeks. but has done
nothing TO distinguish himself particu-
larry until last week when he was as
signed a part which, though not diff
cult by any means. required Just the
right touch and a delicate conception
which, II they had been missed. would
have totally destroyed the motive Of the
author.
Cool. calculating and scheming. yet
with a sense Of honor peculiarly at va
rance with every other tendency in his
makeup, Burke presented a study. In
working out the character Mr. Ellis
took note Of every little detail neces-
cary TO its proper molding. and the re-
suits offered one OF the distinctive fea-
lures Of the performance. Had the
portrayal been in a regular production
OF the season Mr.. Ellis might have
accredited himself with one OF the char
acter successes Of the year.
