MT. sriffith aa Richard.

John Griffith. the tragedian. Is the most enthusiastic of actors. Any role he takes up he ,devotes himself to so thor oughly that other subjects are put slight incidents of his life. This sea- son he is playing shakespeare's King Richard the Third" and makes good in all it's mental and physical require ments.
 He has studied the character for years, and his big manly personality fills the eye completely and dominates the stage during his occupation of 1t. There's nothing of the simple life in his performance; on the contrary, 1t is the extreme of the strenuous and complex. Mir. Griffith is announced to play here Monday night at the Montgomery Theatre and will un- doubtedIy draw a large audience. His support and equipment this season has been awarded high praise in every city of his route.
 A Richmond, Va.,, paper says:
 "A cultured audience witnessed the magnificent production of Shakes peare's Richard the Third last eve ming at the Academy of Music. MT. Griffith as the 'Hunchback Duke of Gloucester well sustained his repu- tation as America's greatest tragedian. The play was perfectly interpreted Mir. Griffith being supported by a strong, capable cast The little fel- low who played the character of Hem rvs youngest son is not over five years old, but he spoke his lines with spirit and intelligence. His imitation of the hobblinR walk of his deformed Uncle Gloucester was worthy of MT. Grif- filth himself.
 'eThe' famous Tower scene in which the two Princes are ruthlessly sep arated from their mother in obedience to the cruel commapd of their uncle was life-li'ke in its presentation and caused many tears to flow in sincere sympathy for the poor mother and helpless Princes. The tent scene in act four, in. which Richard is visited by the ghosts of those whom he has murdered in his maddening efforts to crown his one ambition with the throne of England was most realistic. In this scene Mrr Griffith was at his best--eyery line of his face-his every expression, conveying to the audience the tortures his heart had undergone in his terrible dreams.
 The costumes were lavish and in perfect accordances w. the line of the reign of Richard the Third. and the stage settings comported with the age, which Shakespeare portrayed.
 '"Twas a splendid performance, highly instructive. and all lovers of Shakespeare should not let this rare opportunity pass to see Richard the Third as acted by Americas greatest tragedian."

Mr. Clarke as "BeaucaIre."

Not to have seen Creston Clarke in his sumptuous production of Booth Tarkingtons exquisite romantic comedy. "Beaucaire." is to have missed one of the most keenly en- joyable theatrical opportunities of the pres ent day.
 MT. Clarke Is now on his econd and final tour with this unique play, and the am nouncement is made that he will present 1t at the Montgomery Theatre Thursday, mat inee and night.
 Mir. Clarke has given the American stage many bright. Intellectually conceived and intellectually delineated eharacterizations. Tn Shakespere, in old comedy and in modern drama he has found equally exalted places. The net result of opinions expressed throughout the land last year was that in no other play did he ever reach the high plane of aristeeratic excellence upon which stands his "Beaueaire"
 The hero of thi splay as readers know. is a French Prince living 'incognito at an Eng fish watering place assuming the position of a man of low degree. But his breed ing and spirit cannot be hidden Forget ting at times his assumed character, he falls into the natural manner of Prince of the blood royal. from which arise events at once humorous. romantic. heroic and chtv- alrous
 The time being the day of George ", the atmosphere of the play is of elegance. cer- emony and prodigality. making the play tunes and manners. Such play makes exacting demands alike upon the producer, the stage manager and the actors. Fully as well as MT. Clarke does his part, Manager Jules Murray has done his Beau caire" is said to be beautifully mounted. no detail of the inanimate accessories having been overlooked. the production. indeed, setting a new standard even for Mir. Mur- ny, whose policy of 'the best in everything" has long been known.

 This is the play in which sam Bernard has made the hit of his life in the eharac- ter of Schmaltz. a theatrical wtg-maker whose main business Is 'bossing the sou brettes" Schmaltz Is a quaint character and in this role Mir Bernard has an espe- cially good opportunity to display his own inimtable comedy method. IL is not alone that Schmaltz tangles his sentences that makes him humorous. There is much deeper human interest beneath that super ficial side of the character He Is honest and loyal and possessed with A stock of quaint philosophy that lendears him at once to the audience. while his pupil, Iona, (Hat- tie Willams) wins her hearers by her charming personality and sweet voice.
 Incidentally. Miss Williams wears some most stunning gowns. She has five songs, and a new gown for each. to say nothing of few other incidental changes of costume. Her great song hits are Friends that are Good and True" Tricks" My Cabin Door, " and "The Girl From My Own Town"
 Sam Bernard "participates' in the sing ing of "LoYey-Dovey" and Indian on Broadway" and whatever his share of con tribution to the melody of these songs may or may not be. he certainly makes them by his acting the funniest ever heard the stage Besides Mir. Bernard and Miss Williams there are some eighty other men and women who contribute to a delightful stage production
 The story is that of Ilona (Miss Williams) who runs away on the eve of her marriage to become a famous actress Good fortune sends her to the home of Schmaltz Ser nard) the theatrical wig-maker, and his wife (Binie Galy).

 This week will bring a varied list of amusements to the playhouses of Mont gomery. There is to be tragedy, musi- cal comedy, comedy drama and TO-
 mantle drama and all of 1t high class
 The great number of attractions dur ing the week just closed again demon strated the oft repeated statement that .Montgomery is the best show town on the Southern circuit.' With two the atres open, attractions every night in the week and four matinees the play houses were we'll patronized. Of, course some of the meritorious companies suf- fered. but on the whole the theatre business of the past week was as good as could have been expected.
 The improvement in the character or amusements playing Montgomery has been gradual from year to year until 1t Is doubtful if theatre-go realize that they are now able to see some of the best the country affords This is l illustrated by the fact that we are to 1 have Sam Bernard and Hattie Williams | this week in "The Rollicking Girl, an entertainment that has been sensa- 1 tiona, success everywhere. The com pany was in New Orleans last week and the newspapers were lavish In its praise.
 Lovers of Shakespeare will want to see John Grifith Monday night in s'Richard. MT. Grifith played Mac beth, at the Montgomery Theatre last season and his fine physique and robust voice made lasting impression. The critics have been kind to Mir. Grimth and his company this season, some or them placing him in the first rank as an exponent of Shakespeare's trage- dies.
 And no one may doubt the potenti- aIfty of Checkers. It has scored nerhaps the biggest success of any stage Entertainment of its kind in re- cent years. A large and capable com pany is promised and Mr. Blossoms story of the race track with its quaint American epigrams will be one or the good things of the week.
