Another melodrama that has brought
out the full strength of the Lyric
Stock company is "The Power of Jus.
tice." Fred Moore, as usual, holds
the gallery in his hands and impress
es the emotional ladies in the audi
ence. Some new people are in the
cast-Carolyn Laurence, Alice Con,
don and w. f. Wagner-all of whom
have established themselves in the
favor of Lyric patrons. l don't know
whether Fred Moore is this week re-
ceiving written testimonials from i'm
questionable ladies in the audience,
but, l make bold to declare that his
stage heroics are being warmly ap-
plauded by the fair members of the
audience. "The Power of Justice" is
keeping the Lyric ticket-sellers busy.

agreed that no other drama in the
language is richer in that quaint, TO-
bust humor which appeals to the full
appreciation of those whose laughter
is neither hysterical nor the result of
chronic weakness. Indeed the habitual
laughter-who convulses at senseless
wit-fnds little to amuse him in this
play of delicate yet positive flavor.
And this because of the wide gulf be-
tween mere foolishness-the mania
for stupidity-and the actual enjoy
ment of something worth while. How
ever, humor is of such varying pro.
portions that even the most observing
fail to grasp its changing lights and
shades-the actor as well as the au-
dience. In the hands of less dis
eliminating actor than William H.
Crane Squire Hardcastle" would be
nothing more than a clustering absur-
dity. While the effervescent humor
of Kate" would dissolve completely
before an actress of less artistry than
Ellis Jeffreys. And finally with a
company less capable "She Stops to
Conquer" would become a series of
ponderous climaxes too heavy for the
box-office.
If you love good, honest, robust
like wine-go and see Crane and JEFF
freys in "She Stops to Conquer"

1t is not true that Tracy the Ban

the stage that the orchestra escaped.
Manager Cox, however, did not at

during the engagement. It's wise
theatrical manager who knows his own
stage-and Cox is not foolish-but he
gave Harry Tracy all the elbow room
that was coming to him.

The Orpheum program this week

clothes. 1t lasts several minutes and
for fast and furious work makes the
