This is the best play that has been
given here for several years and OF its
recent performance in Syracuse the
Journal says:
"There was surprise for the patrons
at the Bastable Monday night. 1t was in
the dignifed, consistent and intelligent
Interpretation OF Isaac Hendersons play
The Mummy and the Humming Bird, By
Jules Murry's company. The cleverness
of the handling OF the old theme OF when
the cats away the mice will play, is
we'll known here by reason Of the early
productions OF John Drew. tits satisfying
for the length OF the story that it has to
tell, well worked out in detail. not violent
upon the imagination and altogether
well rounded piece OF dialogue. But the
point Just now is the way the hurry
company put the play on. w. A. White
car has the old Drew part OF the mummy.
Mr.. Whitecar does not look the part to
begin with. Hair worn in bangs and
we'll groomed moustache does not go
with the general idea of mummy. But
Nj. Whitecar with admirable clever.
ness, overcomes this impression, and
gives at once matinee finish to hero
while he carries out the idea of the
playwright. He is a sort of a Sherlock
Holmes mummy in directness of dis
covery and his work is intensely appre-
ciated by the audience. Mr.. Whitecar
has the advantage Of repression in ex-
preston. He does not try to follow
bis predecessor in the part which is much
to bis credit. Henry Carl Lewis has that
strong character which brought out
Lionel Barrymore, the organ grinder
with vendetta AS upon every
previous occasion the passion and
strength Of the part made hit, and Mr.
Lewis did not disrupt any fancies by new
ideas, going directly to the heart of the
part. Mr.. Htffron's D'Orelli was
socially pleasant Interpretation end not
disgustingly over-passionate. Heis good
in what be does not do, which is honest
praise. Miss Dlew's Lady Lumley is
tmotion kept down much better than is
usual at the Bastabie. She is pretty,
sparkling and exceptional. Mr. Whar-
mock and Miss Markham give support in
keeping with the production"
