LAST NIGHT AT THE
LOCAL PLAYHOUSES
"The bohemian Girl" at the National
Theafer

Thcater.
Balfe's good old opera. ''The Bohemian
Girl" was well sung by the Aborn com
pany at the National Theater last night.
The charm OF the music in The Bo-
hemian Girl is everlasting, because 1t
appeals so directly TO the tastes Of all.
The Airline Of Grace Orr Myers Is eonven-
tional the opportunities for the come
dienne's best display being lacking in the
part, but Miss Myers held her personality
In admirable check. though she could not
quite hide the roguish expression of her
eyes. and voiced the melOdiOus arias Of
her portion of the score with charm Miss
Bradford gave q dramatic impersonation
Of the Queen Of the Gypsies. Mr.. Harry
Luckstone. who returns to the cast, was
splendid as Count Arnhein, and Harold
Blake touched some high notes as Thad-
deus.
1t Is apparent that fate has decreed that
Mr.. May is to sing only gypsy parts, but
in spite Of the mOnOtOny of his allotted
roles he manages TO give q good account
Of himself As DevilshoOf he was excel
lent. Phil Branson as FlOreste:n and
Mllly Murray as Buda complete a cast
that is practically flawless.

The BesascO-"Capt. Swift" by the
Arden Company.

The popularity Of Edwin Arden, and the
announcement that this IS his closing
week at the Belasco Theater. drew a
large audience last night. when Mr. Arden
presented Haddon Chambers celebrated
drama, Captain Swift" The play was
one OF the first dramas to glorify a
criminal of the Rallies" type. and the
sensation It caused when first given by
Beerbohm Tree is well-remembered.
Swift IS a role which fits Mr.. Arden
very well, and the actor played it last
night in q convincing manner that held
the attention Of the audience until the
final pistol shot which marks the finish
of Captain Swift and the play. Mr.. Arden
has seldom been seen in a better or more
congenial role, and he never acted better
than he did last night He seems to enjoy
playing such q great part quite as much
as the audience enjoyed seeing him por-
tray the fascinating character Of Swift.
The role is a singular blending Of the
best features Of such types az Rafties,
Sherlock Holmes, Jim the Penman, and
other celebrated stage characters of a
fascinating nature II is a strong and
poWeTful play, and the Arden Company
appears to excellent advantage. Miss
Alice Butler as the mother of Captain
Swift, almost shared honOrs with Mr..
Arden. for in her scene where she learns
that the adventurer is her son she rose
20 fine dramatic heights. The scenes be-
tween Miss Butler and Mr.. Arden were
exceptionally well done. Miss Amy Ricard,
in the role Of Stella Darbisher, invested
the part with a pleasing personality, and
in some Of the emotional passages, ap-
peared to exceptional advantage Miss
Ricard's work made one wish that the
part we're a little longer. Miss Jessie
Glendinning. in an ingenue role, was
very effective and pretty.
Edward Ellis, who has done some very
fine work at the Belasco this spring,
added another excellent portrayal by his
lmpersonation Of Mr.. Gardiner, a Queens
land squatter. Charles Arthur was excel
lent as a youthful lover, and Charles
Hammond also dill some good work as
MT. Seabrook. The play was handsomely
mounted This being Mr.. Arden's last
week, there has been q large demand for
seats for the Saturday evening perform
ance, when Mr.. Arden says farewell

The Columbia Thcater@fThe ANA
IONS" for the Closing Bill.
The Columbia Theater Company marks
the closing week Of the summer season by
the presentation Of Arthur Wing Pinero's
clever comedy, The Amazons.' and those
who braved the torrid atmosphere Of last
evening were repaid by the witnessing of
a comedy Of such exhilarating quality and
clever presentment as effectually to re-
lieve the mind Of the oppressive feeling
induced by sultry weather.
The play touches on no profound Ques-
lions Of philosophy or politics, neither IS
the unraveling Of any social problem at
tempted.
The three staIwart daughters IN the
play. the AmazOns, are portrayed 10y
Misses SpOng, Walker. and Hartz in an
agreeable and characteristic manner by
each, Miss Walker scoring decidedly as
Lady Tom, the second and more manuish
Of the trio. while Miss Spong is pleasing
as Lady Noel. tho eldest. who seems 10
