PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE

IL is not often that the Jewish speaking
people of this city are treated 10 play
of the calibre and real merit of
Hannah" a drama In four acts, which
was presented by Nine. F. Reinhardt and
a Jewish company, at the Providence
Opera House last evening.
The audience that greeted the company
wa, rather small, but very sympathetic
and at times wildly enthusiastic. The
scenes of the play are laid in Galica, a
province OF Austria, and the plot of the
play is simple, centreing around the
clopement OF the daughter OF wealthy
Jewish merchant with an army officer
OF the Christian faith. The action of the
daughter which Is strictly forbidden by
the teachings of his religion, brings grlef
and death to her fathers household, and
the climax occurs i'm the fourth act when
the brother OF the girl drags his sister
from the church where she is about to be
baptisod. The action OF the play Is
smooth enough and has life and move
mont. qualities rarely displayed In the
Jewish drama.
Nine. f. Reinhardt. who takes the
leading role, Is satisfactory. and displays
not a little dramatic ability. Her man
ner and poise were well in accord with
her part and particularly her delivery
of several rather long passages were skil-
full and effective. Her rendering OF sew
eral solos during the play was highly
successful, the lady displaying a pleasing
voice OF range and capacity. Mr.. Wein-
stocks delineatidA OF the character of
Yischok Socolovcr. was masterful, his
grip of the part and his understanding
OF the character which he was represent
ing making his presentation decidedly ef-
fective.
The other parts. although taken In a
satisfactory way from an individual point
OF view. did not harmonize with each
other and the play showed plainly the
lack of the proper number OF rehearsals.
several scenes following in rather un-
certain way The part OF Avrohom,
played by Mr.. Charles Freed, and that OF
Henele. taken by Miss A. Block, were
particularly well presented. The cast OF

KEITH'S THEATRE

II Is a fine bill that the management of
Kelth's Theatre offers the citizens of
Providence this week and very enthusias-
tic audiences yesterday expressed their
approval OF the many fine numbers. Last
evening the theatre was crowded and
there did not seem TO be a number on the
program that did not meet with instant
and continued favor.
The most pretentious feature OF the
program is Robinson Crusoe's Isle" In
which the principles are John Rogers aud
Ben Deellcy. IL IL described on the pro
gram as musical comedy. but Il seems TO
be something very much better than most
musical comedies; II is. In TACT more like
one OF the comic operas that some years
ago were SO popular but one day got
on the popular highway, Tor

which a little bit OF music Is mixeo with
a lot OF rough ourlesaue. There are two
or three the choruses heard IN Robin

and costumes are gwen unusual attention
for even a Keith performance. There Us,
OF course, not much plot TO the comedy,
but there are number OF bright people
and plenty OF good music. The principals
are woli-known vocalists and MIR. Deeley
as Friday certainly is amusing and inter-
esting. There are cannibals. pirates, Is
land maids and many other things that
make the piece decidedly better than the
ordinary acts Of vaudeville. Corine Lee
