oreston Clarke.

H Transplanted historionic genius has
never been more forcibly exemplfed
than In the instance Of Creston Clarke
who this season, as a GROWING point to
long and brilliant stellar career, Is ap-
pearing In Monsieur Beaucaire," the ex-
quisitely drawn romance adapted from
Booth Tarkington's book and the play
that was brought into favor by Richard
Mansfield. Mr., Clarke will Blay at the
Jefferson theatre tomorrow afternoon
and night.
As a well known fact, Mr.. Clarke has
"a double birthright to dramatic distinc-
itions being the son of the illustrious ae-
tor. Joseph Sleeper Clarke, whose death
on September 2S, 1899, was universally
lamented, and nephew to Edwin Booth,
whose name everybody loves TO honor.
from his father however, Creston
Clarke may be said to have Inherited
those subtle elements of comedy that
now stand him such splendid service In
Interpreting the true spirit OF Beauoaire,
for John Sleeper Clarke was one of the
most consummate comedians who ever
graced the stage. Born in 1888 in Balu-
aore where In after years he became a
member of the amateur dramatic club,
of which Edwin Booth was also a mem
Der and 1t was there that these two
actors formed strong and lasting
friendship. Mr.. Clarke married Asia
Booth, Mr.. Booths sister, and herself an
accomplished actress.
3 Like most of such naturally born come
2dans. John Sleeper Clarke Insisted upon
tragedy being his line and only after his
first successful appearance as Bob
Acres in The Rivals" Major yelling
ton de Boots,' 1.-THE Toodles," and DR..
Pangloss in the Heir at Law" could he
be induced to abandon his aspirations to
more serious roles. His last professional
appearance In this country IVES made in
1881 when he essayed a round of comedy
& haracters In Philadelphia. He died at
5Surbilton-o n-Thames, a suburb of Lon
don, which had been his home for many
years His life was laughter and the
ludicrous so mixed in him that nature
might stand up and say to all the world
this is an actor Those touches of
tragic flavor that have at intervals enter
ed into the work of Creston Clarke are
easily attributable to the mother side
and thus 1t will readily be inferred that
with such innate talent Mr.. Clarke 8
start was comparatively without any
great dil.iculty. Yet 1t must be conceded
that 1t required hard. intelligent work
in order to win the esteem of the public,
and to hold such good opinions as have
from time to time been showered upon
the actor.
opportunity Is allowed Mr.. Clarke for the
display of those fine qualities with which
his previous efforts have been identified.
1t Is a role, according to authoritative
press reports, that fits the star to a nice
ty, and affords occasions for much ef-
fective repose. All In all 1t would seem
that in choosing Monsieur Beaucaire"
Mr. Clarke has secured a play that will
more than sustain the excellent reputa-
ton he enjoys, and In placing his pro-
fessionai welfare under the direction Of
that generous direction of Jules hurry,
he has invited every consideration that
a generous management could possibly
entertain.

in front of the engine which her father
is driving She is rescued by the young
fireman. The old engineer through will
power, succeeds In controlling the desire
for drink and becomes the superintend-
emit of the road. He becomes a victim OF
rum, in the last act tries to poison his
family and guests, who are celebrating
the Christmas holiday. While he IS
watching them through the window, ex-
pecting them to drink the wine which he
has drugged, he sees his daughter in the
company, and realizing the enormity OF
his crime he shoots himself. The sound
of the shot attracts the attention of the
party, and the glasses are put down,
without their contents being touched.
One of the great scenes is where the
william meets Peggy Edwards the girl
he has ruined in the Barrel House
The scene where the girl degraded by
drink, offers a ring, her sole remem-
branee of her mother, for rum, teaches
a strong lesson and brings out the evil
that rum does.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS.

Although Lew Dockstader's minstrel
ompany finished their New York en-
agement at the Herald Square theatre
IN October, all Broadway and most every
other part of New York is still laughing
at their witticisms and songs to say
nothing of the burlesque on Rapid
Transit which is one If not quite the
funniest skit which was ever introduced
on the theatrical stage. Mr. Dockstad-
er's company includes practically every
notable name in minstrelsy, notwith-
standing that Mr.. Dockstader himself Is
funny enough and famous enough to
draw packed house no matter by whom
he was supported. Everything shown IN
Lew Dockstader's performance is absol-
utely original and can be seen only by
visiting his minstrel company. Every
song is used by him or his company ex-
clusively. Neil O'Brien's satire on RAPID
Transit are fully protected by copy
right as are also all three of the best
spectacular scenes which are as mover
beautiful and extensively mounted as
those shown with any theatrical produc-
tion. Two sixty-foot baggage cars are
required to transport the paraphernala
for these spectacles, while their cost
despite the fact that the outlay Tor cos
tuning was practically nothing, amount
ed to over $4,000.

story tells about the jealousy of young
bride who catches her husband in the
