The BeInscO-ChRFIOtte walker I'm
Cousin Kate"
The great popularity IF Miss Charlotte
Walker and the Belasco Theater Com
pany was again attested last night, when
a large audience braved the sultry at
mosphere 90 attend the opening perform
ance OF Cousin Kate" Hubert Henry
Davies entertaining comedy. which is
well remembered as one of Ethel Barry
mOpe's most striking successes.
The play is entirely a comedy Of words.
but the dialogue is so sparkling and
clever, and the exposition OF the change
ahleness CT that erratic emotion called
love Is 50 complete. that very little ac-
ton IS required to carry the auditor in
an acute state Of interest through TO the
end.
Miss Walker essays the title role, that
Of a comparatively young woman Of more
than ordinary intellectual endowments
and more than common experience in the
way of things mundane, She meets ana
falls in love instantly with a man whom
she soon discovers 10 be the afianced Of
her niece. and then comes the struggle
between love and duty; ana although all
things are smoothed out in the end. the
struggle occurs Notwithstanding, and the
real success Of the impersonation ip this
instance depends upon the expressive
power Of the actress at that particular
crisis. Miss Walker is equal 10 the
and her delineation compares
without present detraction with any that
has gone before. Her method Of express
sion is as slngularly clear, both in the
lighter vein and the stronger moments
and her personal manner so engaging,
thai her work throughout is highly inter-
esting; and so another is added TO the
long category Of her successful roles.
Another portrayal worthy Of the high
est commendation is that Of Mr.. Sydney
Mather, as Heath Desmond, whose tai
ents were especially in evidence IN the
scenes with the heroine. and particularly
in the episode OF the deserted house.
Miss Fannie HaTtz was quite captivat-
ing as Amy, while Miss Alice Butler sue
ceeded ia extracting considerable comedy
from the character Of Mrs. Spencer. Al
fred Hudson was effective as Rev. Mr..
Bartlett, a semi-hypOcritcal clergyman:
and others appearing to advantage in
minor roles were Eugene Savoyard, as
Bobby and Elsie Rizer. as Jane The
play Is staged In an effective manner.
and the whole production is distinctly
enjoyable.
