"A Friend of the FamIIy.''

"A Friend of the Family" which comes to the Montgomery Theatre Monday night has few equals as a farce comedy. High class and whole some, full of natural situations, no straining for effect. the humor bub- bling out at just the right place. an at traction engaging in every feature. sending the audience away at the drop of the last curtain pleased and laugh ing.
 The lines of action are around a. friend of the family. Nancy Moves. wid- ow of Esmond Miller, a family relation. Nancy comes to visit her dead hus- bands family. She had a previous love affair with Bartley Swift, the head of tho house. who has since married. A new governcss had been engaged from a distant town. but Nancy arrives just before the governess. and being a nat ural humorist, she has a lively sense of the comical in several situations of life. and being mistaken for Miss Nor gan, the new governess. on her arrival. she consents to the part and having taken on her new role, delights and shocks by her free and oftentimes easy manners. MT. Swift is made love to in comical strain and a native talent for diplomacy which he possesses Is taxed sometimes to exhaustion. Swift like everyone else, has his friends and enemies in the matter, and in the ex- aggerated efforts of friend and foe. the one to assist Swift, the other to consummate his fall. the comedy Is ad- venced. The governess at last arrives. The mistaken identity is yet carried out. An opportunity finally occurs 10 straighteE out the winding labyrinth of misunderstood situations, and when the final curtain goes to the floor and the play Is ended, even the most blase theatre-goer is laughing heartily. The play is without doubt one of the best, if not the best of its kind, and is handled by a highly capable company. and incudles William Friend, Harry Crandall, Eugene Bedding, William Woodside.

The founder of popular Paris res- taurants, M. Pettau Duval, died last week at his splendid estate at Pont- levy, where he has lived retired since 1881. He founded the first of his res taurants in 1858 in the Rue Sainte Anne, where he supplied meals for so centimes, consisting of meat. vege- tables, dessert and a flask of superior Bordeaux The cheapness of the meals caused a sensation even then. Soon fifty establishments were founded, but with time the prices rose and the res taurants assumed a select appearance, which they have retained since their founder made his fortune of several millions.

 It is matter of surprise that many peo- pie who are SO careful to have clean bodies make no effort to keep the blood clean.

But often iu the earlier or simpler stages of the blood's impurity there are no outward signs of this condition; only dull, iauguid sluggish feelings, which are com, monly attributed solely to the sluggishness of the liver

Already there is great interest manifested in the forthcoming produc- ton of David Garrick's Love" by MT. Walker Whiteside at the Montgomery Theatre Tuesday night.
 Probably in no other role in which Mir. Whiteside has appeared has he been afforded such splendid opportu1i- ty for the display of his fine artistic ability.
 David Garrick's Love" is an En- glish comedy of decided merit. In 1t MT. Whiteside portrays another actor who was the greatest of his time, the greatest of any age or cline. The lights and shadows of the brilliant but cratic Garrick's affections; his strug- Eles for self mastery, the conflict bet ween his natural affection and noble desire to succor and save, are portray cd by Mir. Whiteslde with rare power of discrimination. The delicacy of his art and his quick appreciation of fit ness and force at no time deeenerate into stage rhodomontade; no noisy straining for effect.
 It is characteristic of Mir Whitesidc that his work Is original. conveying in his own interpretations and never de- generating into mechanical imita lions of other men. This gives 1t a fresh- ness and charm that pleases the criti- cal observer and disarms those who look keenly for defects. While his makeup and work have to take Gar rick for their model his conceptions and movements are evidently his own. putting himself as nearly as possible in Garrick's place but being himself the interpreter of emotions and thoughts. The result is an original picture, a portrait it is true. but char acterized by the individuality and geni- us of the artist

 Roberts, after reading it, turned to his friend and said; You can stay right here and have your nose red" Henry W. Savage's great production of thcsacred play "Parsifal'' in English continues to attract widespread atten- tion on the road tour. The press of the country has agreed with the Met ropclitan papers that the traditions and rcverent attitude of Bayreuth have been faithfully transformed to the ! American stage and that the produc- ton is in every way a most worthy i and laudable one. The week just closed in Cleveland was a record breaker in attendance and receipts.

Kirke La Shel1e is finding that, in his new comedy, "The Heir to the Hoorah," Paul Armstrong, the author. has given him. in one way, more than he bargained for and that is that there are no "bits" or small parts" The more the manager studies over the characters of the play, the more he realizes that all of the parts afford great opportunities. and the more dif- ficult he finds it to secure suitable players. This Is all very we'll in one way, for it speaks volumes for the merit and bright future of the play. But 1t promises to result in a heart breaking total in the salary list.
 There is, says Mir. Thomas Jefferson. a marked distinction between humor and wit, the former being unconscious and the latter intended. In illus: ra- tion. he cites passages from The Rl- vals" and from the gravediggers in Hamlet" An actor must be effective. MT. Jefferson says, even at the ex- pense of being correct. and adds that an ounce of effectiveness is worth 8 pound of correctness. Mir. Jefferson explains why the dog Snyder has never become stage reality. Realism with tail to wag at the wrong time would spoil the play, he says, and the au- dience in any case could imagine 8. much better dog than Snyder could possibly be. As it is, every one of the audience can substitute tho kind of dog that he prefers.

 An entirely new and remarkable feature this season will be the presen- tation here of the world-famous Pony ballet in the celebrated radium dances. tion and light effects ever introduced upon the stage.
 Much interest is attached to the forthcoming of The Volunteer Organ- ist" which will hold the boards at the Montgomery Theatre Thursday night.
 The play is of the pastoral order and is an idyll in it's way. The story of the drama is simple. and is blended with genuine comedy and exceptional pathos. Advance criticisms of the show speak in glowing terms of the cast and scenic effects. There is not a dull moment throughout the play. and the plot Is never permitted to lag, It might be likened to several other well-known plays of the pastoral sort in the quaintness of the characters presented and in the realism of it's re- production of phases of rural life, but 1t differs from the usual run in some ways also. It Is without such time worn melodramatic clements as a deep eyed villain, a persecuted heroine. an old Will and Furthermore, 1t is con structed out of a popular song instead of out of a popular novel. The story it tells is of every day people in a New England hill town, with the common touches of sentiment and humor.
 Among the special features are the singing of popular favorites like The Holy City" with special scenic effects by Master William Nelson.
 Four distinct, massive sets of scen- cry are carried by the company to- g2the rwith every electrical device known that could possibly enhance the beauty of the piece. Besides a force of stage carpenters and electri- clans with the company, 1t Is always necessary to greatly augment the working force at the theatres where "Fbe Volunteer Orgaaist" plays. to facilitate the handling of the s, emery and properties the drama calls for.

Davis has long since become accustomed to seeing his character creations put upon the stage. Gibson's first experience of this sort will come when The Educa- tion of Mir. Pipp" Is produced.

Notwithstanding the current re- ports that the northwest is theatricai.y dead. Mr. Beresford has played three weeks in succession there to very profitable business. The Press of D4n- yer is unanimous in proclaiming this young man as one of the foremost comedians of the day.
