"The Christian" mt the Burwood.


The production of THE Christian" this
week at the Burwood theater is an ar
tistic triumph for the members OF the
Woodward Stock company and Mr.. Sedley
Brown, the director. Art OF two kinds is
meant-the art of acting and the art of
stage effects and scenery. The company
has given some excellent performances of
some very good plays since it began the
season in Omaha. but It is simple truth
TO say that in THE Christian" previous
best efforts have been placed far in the
rear distance. Every detail betrays thor
ough and intelligent preparation and in
few instances can the appropriate Offering
for Christmas week be criticised unfavor-
, ably.
For Omaha audiences new heights and
depths arc reached by Miss Lang. 1t is in
Glory Quayle that the motive OF the play
the struggle of many modern individuals
between a life of striving for public plaudit,
or a life of simple duty for duty's sake, is
Centcred. The other characters are good,
or bad or indifferent. Glory's is formed
! in the four acts of the play, Here the pen
OF Hall Game has given an immense lati-
tude for Glory to work her destiny. You
! feel for the Glory of Miss Lang's; you
understand the woman and her problem
and you are carried to emotional eleva-
. tons by the power of the actress. Her
| ambitious Manx girl is a sweet woman. a
woman of spirit and good heart and one
! that appeals beyond the limits OF resist
| ance.
| A natural conception of the part of John
! Storm is that OF an idealist of the largest
| dimensions, for he renounces quantities OF
| what the average man holds dear and
| tramples convention Apparently Mr.. Nor
rison believes strength OF character is
Storms predominsting tone. In the early
scenes of the play Mr.. Morrison is a very
| sober idealist and one lacking the fr,
usually associated with such a man. But
! in the second act and again in the third
during the tense situations with the mot
and Gory's friends, and later with Glory
he is powerful and compelling He throw:
life and action and force into his work
and surpasses any other efforts he ha:
made here along serious lines.
The character OF Lord Robert IRE is one
holding much intrinsic wickedness. He il
a creature beyond the pale of detestation
Mr.. owen makes you hate him with al
the strength of your soul. The egotism
the snobbery, the dearth Of moral prin
ciple in his nature are portrayed with fin
ished skill
As HoTatio Drake Mr.. Todd fills the pre-
dictions made by his friends, that with
part of scope with IL he would do I'm
things. His scene with Glory in the frs
act is one OF the best acted ones in the en-
tire play. Mr.. Simpson is clear-cut an
convincing, especially in the fine scene fall
ing TO the role OF Brother Paul toward tn
close of the play. As Polly Love, Mis-
Davis again displays rare qualities as a
emotional actress. One OF the pleasure
Of the piece is the beautiful enunciation c

paul Jones" at the hrug.

Rose Cecilia Shay has a strong and SER
viceable mezzo-soprano voice, which has
been heard in Omaha TO much better adj
vantage than at present in her new comic
opera, Paul Jones" The only relation
this creation bears to the hero of the
American navy is in it's name, but good
deal is gotten ont of that, and the finale
is made appropriately patriotic by the
waving of Old Glory while the assembled
company sings THE Star Spansled Ban
ner" Miss Shay wears breeches. or rather
tights, with decided grace and sings with
charming ease. She has interpolated one
good song into the piece, an ARA from
Samson and Delilah,' which wins for
her an encore She has a fairly good
chance in the opening act where her voice
is heard in its widest range. Her support
is unsteady good. but dramatically weak.
The comedy element is well brought to
the front, and the chorus has the double
advantage of youth and beauty. Miss
Shay and her company will be at the Krus
till after Wednesday nisht, with matinee
this afternoon and on Wednesday.

NnudeyiIIJ at the Creishton-or pheum.
Christmsk week is being celebrated in a
very appr5priate way at the vaudeville
house, for a bill that is as full of good
things as the most snugly packed stocking
ever left by Santa Claus is on down there.
and will be fully enjoyed by the thousands
who are certain to visit that house before
next Saturday night From first to last
it is to laugh and applaud. Estelle
wordette and Jules Kusell carry oil the
honors in a sketch by Miss Wordette,
which is delightfully."- rendered. 1t calls
for comedy acting and is full of sparkling
wit from first to last. 1t is just about
long enough, and although it ends a trlie
tamely, it is easily one of the bes; things
of the season so far. Miss Francesca
Redding and her assistants present
farcical affair in which there is ample
room for good work. They make It go
very we'll. The Doria trio. Miss Edith
Merriless, sprano; S. b. Giletti, tenor, and
Alfred Doria, baritone, sing several songs
in a charming way. The voices are all
sweet and true, Miss Merriless having an
unusually wide range and volume. Their
turn concludes with the prison scene from
Faust" and the splendid trio is delight
fully rendered. Charles Leonard Fletcher
takes the audience into the secrets of
the dressing room by making up where
all can watch him. He presents n number
of studies of well known characters in
a convincing way, one being Mark Twain
delivering his famous toast to THE La
dies" Mr.. Fletcher concludes with AT
the Telephone a strongly dramatic sit
u8tion and in which he shows himself to
be actor of much ability. Joe Flynn
proves himself correctly described on the
bill as an eccentric monologue comedian"
He sings some good parodies and INDUCES
in several yards of talk apropos of moth
ing, but his jokes are bright and humor
is infectious. The three Mitchells are well
known here and are always welcome. They
sing and dance with all their old-time
melody and grace. Baronis burlesque

in 1t. the dogs and cats contributing quite
as much as their master. The knodrome
