Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-19

ond ingenue to take the place of Miss
Margaret Langham yesterday. Incl
dentally Miss Smythe has won a name
for herself in all parts of the country
with various large productions. She
was the original in the role of Beth
Page in THE Pit" when that drama
made it's first appearance. Then she
was with the big No. 1 company in the
production of THE County Chairman"
and with Otis Skinner in prince
Otto" and with other companies too
numerous to mention. Her appearance
at the Belasco next week will be her
first In stock.
Miss Smythe is altogether so charm.
ing that If Miss Gilbert at the Bur-
bank is not careful she will have a
rival that will prove dangerous. She is
petite with all the clever ways that
make the work of the ingenue the chief
attraction of play. Miss Smythe is a
brunette with masses of black hair and
beautiful big black eyes.
Her appearance with the Belasco COM
pany may herald other changes in

instill little yellow Journalism, as it
were, into conservative stock"

could see absolutely nothing in it and
back 1t went to it's author with its
blank pages filled with harsh criti-
cism.
Johnson liked the comedy and
and they so importuned Colman that
finally he agreed to produce it. Some
of the actors cast for the play, taking
their cue from Colman, threw down
their parts and would not appear in
such drivel." During the rehearsals
Colman's original fears regarding the
outcome of the venture so developed
that he refused to spend a penny on
it's production.
ut is barrel of gunpowder,"
he declared, land will blow every one
connected with it to pieces"
On the day of the production-March
Is, 1773-Goldsmith's friends invited
him to dinner in order to cheer him.
Reynolds relates of the dinner that
Goldsmith's mouth became so parched
from the agitation of his mind that he
could not swallow a mouthful." Too
nervous to enter the theater the author
walked in st. James park. A friend
meeting him, induced him to enter the
theater during the fifth act. AS he
did so he heard a hiss and took it for
granted that the barrel of gunpowder
was explod -ng. The play made a great
hit. The single hiss which Goldsmith
heard was so unfair that 1t became
the talk of the town.
Many persons may not be aware that
when Goldsmith first wrote "She
Stoops to Conquer" he intended it for
comic opera, or perhaps it would be
better to say a musical comedy, yet
such remains the fact, as in the orig
inal manuscript, which is at present
in the British museum, there are
found a number of songe and ensem-
bles (which were intended to be sung
by the various leading characters and
chorus. 1t was not until a good

dent when civil war drama is pre-
sented.
Such Is "The Crisis" taken from
and produced at the Belasco theater
last night. 1t is the second appearance
of the play at the Belasco and it has
gained much by the acquisition of Lewis
Stone as the hero. Last night the
southernerS and northerners in various
parts of the house accepted each state
ment as u challenge and cheered loudly
for their several champions. Talk of
secession brought cheers from some of
the house, the mention of Abraham
Lincolns name brought cheers 1Ium
most of them, and the gray of the
southern uniform and the blue of the
north received their applause at each
appearance.
Lewis Stone as Stephen Brice gives
convincing Interpretation of the role.
Miss Lillian Albertson as the southern
girl, Virginia CarVel portrays the part
in clever style and does very we'll in the
mastery of the soft tones of the south.
William Yerance as Col. Carvel and
George Barnum os Judge Whipple pre- =
sent the strong characters in way that
is worth going far to see. Howard Scott
as Eliphalet Hopper has a character
role we'll suited to him, and his por-
trayal of the Yankee trader Is lett er
perfect.
The action is in st. Louis, and various
bits of historic scenery have been truth
fully followed out
