VEIL SAYS SHE ENJOYS PLAYING TO oRPHEUM AUDIENCES

trammeled by the shackles of stage ma
chinery."
Miss O'Neil differs from the stage direc-
tors as we'll in other things as In the
matter of settings. She is the most truly
original In her methods of any Lady
Macbeth, American or other.
Her sleep-walking scene, which will be
presented this week at the Orpheum, has
no precedent in many Of it's features.
She Is the only Lady Macbeth who
awakens in the sleep-walking scene.
To the thoughtful reader of Shakespeare s
tragedy this seems the natural climax.
There is no tradition in support OF Miss
O'Neil's theory and she Is guided entirely
by her own deep study of the Lady Mac
beth of history and of the play.
Miss O'Neil contrasts the women of
Shakespeare and Ibsen in one terse SEN
tence.
Shakespeare has heroines," she says;
women who are types, ideals. IL you
will, rather than real persons. They are
clever and definite, good or bad, vixenish
or humble, but they are consistent. Ib-
sen has no heroines-he has women"
Which may be profound philosophy
or an utter inanity, according to ones
definition of the words "heroine" and
"Woman,"

over, whether one plays in vaudeville or
the legitimate. The vaudeville audiences
have been very appreciative OF the scenes
have given them from Leah and Mac
BETH"
do you find any difficulty in expressing
yourself in the short time a vaudeville
sketch calls for?" she was asked.
"Of course, 1 cannot build UP my scenes
around the clmaxes, but I can give the
people the elimination, always the great
scene of the play, and 1 find that I can
give this as well in vaudeville as ary-
where. The audience gets the climaxes
without the interludes, and vaudeville
audience appreciates this method"
Miss O'Neil believes the play and not
the scenery should attract and hold the
audience. She even goes so far as to
say that no actor can give his best in the
distraction of an intricate stage setting.
Pursuing this topic, she said:
'"The most glorious moment of my life
was when I played in the Greek theater
at Berkeley. The play was Ingomar.
The stars shone down on my face. The
eucalyptus trees outside the half circle
seemed like sentinels guarding the Won
derful peace of this place.
"Oh, it was glorious-divine. My very
soul scared in freedom, buoyant and un-

MURRAY AND MACK PLEASE
PATRONS OF THE GRAND

For some indefinite reason the stage
at the Grand seems small this week. 1t
may be the way the scenery of THE
Sunny Side of Broadway is built, or 1t
may be the unusual number of people In
the company.
Murray and Mack's play is an all-round
good show. There is not so much ability
under any one bonnet that the other
members of the company are overshad-
owed and the audience Is never
committed to any one favorite to the
enevy and disappointment of the rest.
All get laughs and applause. Pretty
faces, tuneful voices and openwork
stockings are the elements of the Murray
and Mack combination
Thrty-two names are programmed,
headed of course By Charles Murray as
Senator Michael OToole and Ollie Mack
as his nephew, Hennessey O'Toole. The
first scene is supposed to represent the
Battery, New York city, with the statue
of Liberty in the distance as a back
ground. The senator and another
nephew, Jim Mcfarland, are waiting for
Hennessey to come across from Ellis
island, he being the last of the O'Tooles
to arrive from the old sod. The story
commences here with Jim Mcfarland s
announcement of his intention to marry
Gloria LeGrait, and the senator's refusal
to consent to the marriage of his nephew
to anyone outside the O'Toole family
connection.
Woman in the Case
Hennessey arrives with an immense
trunk, which has needed all the sem
atorial influence to pass the customs un-
opened. At the solicitation of uncle and
cousin, he opens his prize package and
displays Caprice, French maid, who
has much to do with the complications
that follow.
Thomas T. Shea is back again and as
great favorite as ever in his role of
Tired Terry. Shea's dancing and
dialogue are a feature of the first act.
Gracelyn Whitehouse, the prima donna
of the company, has a pleasing soprano,
sweet and tuneful If not very robust.
She is made to fall in love with Hennes-
sey to help out the other pair of lovers.
Clara Howard plays the French maid
with graceful prettiness. 1t is not easy
to understand why this part was not
given more prominence in the play with
a good looking woman like Miss Howard
in the role.
Max Blooms troubles with the Amer
lean language are to be credited with
many of the best laughs in the show.
Mack as Cowboy
The second scene is placed at the
Circle, Fifty-ninth street. Any other
place would have done almost as well.
Here is where Ollie Mack gets in strong
with his cowboy stunt. Mack is just
the same laughable fellow he has always
been and this is his hit.
Charlie Murray plays quiet, always
funny character. He makes no great
spurts, but is always In the
money. He is the sharp-witted
Irishman who always has the joke on
the other fellow. Murray and Mack sing
song called Every Town has Broad
way, but There's Really Only One" The
song is good and the singing is also good

NIANCE O'NEIL, heroine Of many a
~ soul-harrowing drama, was resting
4 from the strain of the tragic climax
of 'The Jewess" when The Herald re-
porter found her in her dressing room at
the Orpheum.
In reply to an inquiry regarding the
probable duration of her vaudeville tour
Miss O'Neil announced her intention of
returning to the legitimate next winter.

play which is being written for me-" she

In the meantime vaudeville audiences
are becoming acquainted with the mar
velous powers of this young actress. They
like her and she likes them. So per-
haps Miss O'Neil, like many another, may
change her plans before the next season
arrives.

MITCHELL
AGAIN

The Seattle Times says: Esther
Mitchell, who shot and killed her
brother, George Mitchell, at the
King street passenger station in July,
1906, within a week after the man
had been discharged by jury in the
superior court for killing Franz Ed
mond Creffield, the high priest OF
the Holy Rollers, will, In all proba-
billty, not go to the penitentiary
ward for the criminally insane.
Following the killing of her broth
er the Mitchell woman was adjudged
insane and sent to the state asylum
at Steilacoom, where she is now.
There is no controversy between
the state and the friends and coun-
sci of the woman that she committed
a criminal act, but Il was long before
the statute was enacted that pro-
vided for the keeping of the crimin-
ally insane at the penitentlary at
Walla Walla.
The new law does not in plain
words explain itself as to criminal
ly insane" but Prosecuting Attor-
ney Kenneth Macintosh and other
lawyers, who have gone carefully In
10 the statute, declare that It is only
the convicted insane that can be re-
moved to the penltentiary ward.
IL do not think under the statutes
that / can put Esther Mitchell in the
penitentiary," said the prosecuting
attorney yesterday. "Under the
present plans of the Office she will
remain at Steillacoom. We construe
the law as applying only to those
who have been acquitted of felonies
by reason of insanity, as In the
Chester Thompson case"
George Mitchell's excuse for kill
ing Crefield was that the Holy Rol-
Ter leader ruined Esther. Maude
Crefiield, widow of Crehield, was
charged by the state with instlgating
the murder of George Mitchell. The
Cretfield woman committed suicide
In the county Jail last winter.

The Dublin Castle Jewels.

An amazing explanation of the
Dublin Jewel mystery is put forward
by Dublin correspondent who signs
himself LEX" In last nights Globe.
Il is briehy-and this has been
more than once hinted at during the
past few days-that the insignia has
not been stolen at all, but merely
kent out of the way till after the
royal visit in order that there might
be no installation.
The correspondent implies that
this solution of the mystery has been
formulated by Sir A. Conan Doyle.
His reasons are these: In the first
place, the Bedford tower is the one
building in the castle into which the
most enterprising burglar would find
Il hopeless to effect an entrance un-
observed.
His second argument is based on
the nature of the article stolen. The
Most Illustrious order of the Knights
of ST. Patrick was expressly founded
to consolidate a union between Eng
land and ireland. In view of recent
events the investiture of a knight
woud possess unusual significance,
and the quieter matters appear in
Dublin the smaller figure will the
Sim Fein party cut.
"Lex" recalls a recent conversation
with prominent member OF the Irish
revolutionary organization. The sub
jeet was how, in view of some of
Lord Castletown's utterances, ne had
been selected for the vacant ribbon.
The reply was:
at matters little; there will be no
installation, at least not in July"
Two questions, he adds, will sug-
gests themselves to any one who has
looked into the very peculiar circum-
stances OF this latest sensation:
First-Assumlng the safe to have
been locked, why did the thief--if
he was a thief-leave II open when
his operations were complete?
Second-Why, out of "a gold col
lars, were only five distracted?
II is quite evident that the re-
moval, II there was n removal, must
have been effected in daylight, which
that the operator dare not
carry or conceal a parcel sufficiently
bulky to attract attention. This sug-
gests the explanation OF question
No. 1.
On the theory first stated the star
and five collars merely would be re-
moved as being amply sufficient to
prevent the installation, owing to the
impossibility of having duplicates
manufactured within the time. IL
may be added that the author of this
ingenious explanation Is quite con-
vinced that the star and collars will
reappear at an early
date. Indeed, a rumor is current in
certain circles In Dublin that the
Jewels have been found, but that the
in Dublin castle are in
no hurry to disclose the fact and
make certain officials ridiculous
