many years later that the first musical
comedy made it's appearance in Lon
don, though credit must be given tC
DR.. Goldsmith for his Insight into
future conditions.
1t was this fine old play which has
come down through all the years, de-
flying fashions and time and which is
as enjoyable today as the day it was
written, that was given here last night.
The repertoire of none of the old stock
companies was considered complete
that did not contain 1t and every
actor had an ambition to essay one
of its we'll known characters.
But the innate difficulties of it's ade-
quate presentation preclude it's fire.
quent hearing, and only under cir
cumstances such as these, when it is
given by a company containing in
every member finished artist, is it's
portrayal anything but a misfortune.
AS may be readily conceived, how
ever, she Stoops to Conquer" as
given last night, vas a dramatic treat
AN event in a season; almost mark
ing an epoch. Seldom does the writer
recall a theatrical performance better
balanced, more satisfactorily done or
more admirably finished, artistic and
complete-and it has been his good
fortune to see almost every notable
7laSe lepleSeH ldLlol LOT quarter OF
a century. In ensemble, mountings,
environment and character depletion
1t was we'll nigh perfect.
Goldsmith's play is primarily a series
Of character studies; given these and
all else is but background. 1t is in
this respect that the present organi-
zation particularly eXcels. Mr.. Crane
has done Hardcastle on and off for
years, and he has had no equal in the
role within the memory of present-day
playgoers. 1t is his masterpiece, and
it will be many a year before anyone
even rivals him in the part. Ellis
Jeffreys is q great English high COM
edy artistic, who makes h.r first bow

| to a Los Angeles audience as Kate.
| One can conceive how she might have
| added just q little more vivacity to
bonnie Kate" but, barring this, which
after all is merely a personal desire,
her acting is technically fiawless. She
and Mr.. Crane do most clever team
work, and one can scarcely imagine
superior to either.
Though the burden of the play must
fall on these two they are by no means
it's entirety; indeed, ono wonders if
their own excellence is not largely
aided by the very admirable support
accorded them by the ladies and gen.
tlemen of their organization. These
are, without an exception, wholly sat
isfactory and praiseworthy.
1t would be hard to find a better
Tony Lumpkin. for instance, than
George Giddens. Stuart Robson, the
writer's IDEAL is dead, but even Rob
son did no finer work3than Giddens
offered last night. He was fresh
natural and wholly pleasing. Walter
Hale as Young MarloWe was quite his
equal, and Fred Thorne as Diggory
was not a whit behind either; indeed,
his acting was almost classic. And
Herbert Sleath as Hastings could be
taken as a model by many a juvenile
actor of today, with good effect.
The same high praise is due the
women in the cast. Fanny Addison
Pitt lifts Mrs. Hardcastle quite above
any contemporaneous portrayal with
her perfect art, and lovely Margaret
Dale makes Miss Neville a charming
success being all the ingenue that
anyone could wish. The several others
not named here may be satisfied to
know that their parts in the perfect
whole are just as important and as
admirable as are those of the co-stars
in proportion, thus making the entire
performance one continuous dramatic
treat. Only a single keen regret at
taches to the engagement-that it is
so brief.

SAN CARLO COMPANY
WILL SING IN THE MASON,
BUT FOR A WEEK ONLY

The San Carlo opera company will
sing in the Mason theater after all.
In spite of all the chickering's, accuSa-
tions and counterplotS of local, syndi-
cate, advance and travelling managers,
engaging of skating Kinks and negotia-
tions for other theaters, the company
gets into the very house that it eX-
pected to play from the first. And the
war is over.
The council granted the opera COM
pany the right to use the Angelus skat-
ing rink yesterday morning. This was
expected to relieve the situation, but
as a rental of $500 was demanded for
the expected two weeks, with all the
changes at the company's expense, it
didn't look good. Convinced that the
Auditorium could not be secured at

its first week.

Perhaps the impossible feat of shift

easy as pie-if desirable. Anyhow, the
rink can be secured If wanted. So

managers would get together on terms;
1t has always been available under
these circumstances.
But the fact remains that the San
Carlo company will sing in the Mason
theater on the date first announced,
March 4, and for one week thereafter.
Furthermore, If deemed desirable, it
will give performances Sunday, March
10. This will probably be the case.
Then-for two weeks here Is longer

Jeffreys and an admirable COM
pany of picked players presented at
the Mason last night, was first pro-
duced at Covent garden in London in
1773 the taste for sentimental comedy
was at it's height, but DR.. Goldsmith's S
bright situations and lines contributed
in no small degree to restore the town
to a relish for a laugh.
1t Is so seldom that Goldsmith s
comedy has been given of late years,
owing to the difficulty of adequately
casting 1t with old school actors, that
no doubt exists that many theatergo-
ers hailed the present opportunity of
witnessing it with joy.
The history of the play is very in
teresting. Goldsmith had long had q
disregard for the plays of his day.
Humor and cleanliness did not seem
compatible in the minds of the drama
lists and this disgusted poor Molly"
Sentimental comedy was seemingly
the vogue and Goldsmith could see
nothing in it. At a time when he was
in sore financial straits the author of
"The Deserted Village" THE Vicar
of Wakefield" and the play of THE
Good Natured Man" undertook to
write a comedy. All of the time that
he worked on it he was facing the
debtors prison. Completing it he
called it 1.-THE Old House, New Inn,"
but subsequently changed this title to
"She Stoops to Conquer" or The
Mistakes of a Night"
1t was no trouble for Goldsmith to
write the play, but oh, what a trial to
get 1t a hearing. George Colman was
the manager of Covent Garden theater
and Goldsmith asked Of his friends
David Garrick and DIR. johnson, to in
tercede in behalf of his work with the
manager. The latter agreed to read

he holds sway over many workers. To
give him his due, he is a good master,
and for the most part his kindness is
greatly appreciated by his retainers.
But Bob Willet is a laborer with

distaste for work. and recently his du-
cal master determined that the one
thing to do with Bob was to dismiss
him. Whereupon he did SO, and Bob
came to the conclusion that the time
had now arrived when the pride of
the peerage should be humbled. The
difficulty was to think of something
sufficiently biting, for the duke was a
