Hearty and prolonged outbursts OF ap-
plause testified TO the achievement OF
another big success by the Albee Stock
company at Keiths last evening. when
an enthusiastic audience stamped with
undeniable favor the splendid perfor-
nance OF The Pride Of Jennico." This
play Is one OF the best romantic plays be-
fore the public today. IL contains all the
necessary Clements to make a successful
play OF this kind, pretty love story,
cimaxes and dramatic passages. The AL
bee Stock company proved quite as cap
able In presenting play OF this type as
In the sporting comedy drama In which
they achieved such an emphatic success
last week and the many other different
plays which they have so ably interpreted
during the past weeks. They entered COM
pletely into the spirit Of the play. and
gave TO II the dash and vim which is one
of the chief essentials of a romantic
play. Again the admirable stage man
agement OF Mr.. Winter. and his Assistant
Mr.. Robert c. Turner. were displayed in
the snothnees and complete manner In
which every minute detail OF the play
was attended to. IT would be hard TO
from the principals individually or In the
many little things which eo to make up
an excellent production, and those who
saw the production Of this play given by
the star whose NAME IL associated with
the leading role. Will doubtless agree that
the Albee company's presentation win
compare favorably with 1t. The scenery
was handsome and picturesque and the
costumes unusually fine.
Mr.. Craig carried away a large share
OF the evenings honors by fine por-
trayal OF Basil Jennico. The role fitted
him like the proverbial glove. and his
engaging personality was never seen to
better advantages. He was sincere,
manly and dignified. and his buoyant
light -heartedness. his mate chivalry.
were delightful. Altogether. he gave a
performance which was eminenuy salts
factory and which will doubtless win him
more new admirers. Miss Lawrence was
a captivating Princess Otulie, showing
with much delicncy the wilful impetu-
ous side OF her character, IN sharp con-
trast to the womanlineSs OF her hteD
scenes when she fears for her husbands
life. She made a charming picture In the
pretty costumes of the period, and was
as pleasing 10 look upon as her .ncorn-
parable erunciation made her TO listen tn.
One OF the distinct triIumphs OF the per
formance was Miss Youngs impersons-
ton OF the little Gypsy girl. Michel IL
was forceful depletion. vital and stir
ring. and the spontaneous applause which
met her efforts was a fitting and hear
tily deserved tribute to the clever little
artistic. Mr.. Dosee played Prince Eugen
with his usual skill. and he made n most
favorable impression by his artistic and
compelling force. Ono notable feature
TO be commended was the ease and grace
with which Mr.. Losee wore the costumes.
This also was true Of Mr.. Craig. Mr..
Byrne was an honest, frank young Eng
lishn1an. Sir John Beddoes. and the part
could hardly have been better played.
There was nothing stflted about his char
acterfxation. and the audience could not
but feel. and respond 10, the intelligence
and earnestness back OF every word he
uttered.
Mr.. owen was n genial. amusing Baron
Won Krappitz and he made every word
tell with the cleverness for which he is
noted Miss Rivers made much OF a
