Undimmed by time, but growing better
with the passing years She Stops to
Conquer charms with it's simplicity as
few of its juniors 1t may lack in
polish. and it may be devoid of subtlety
but 1t has the supremest merit of humanity
1t is an intimate picture of English home
life at the time, exaggerated, but not
enough to throw it out of perspective, and
preserving certain of the mannerisms of
a bygone day, but .withal depending on the
ever new and never falling willingness of
people to laugh at others when they are
unwittingly placed in embarrassment or
made to appear ridiculous. Oliver Gold
smiths humor was of that healthy, robust
sort that amuses without vexing, and en-
dures because 1t does not delve deeper than
the surface. The good doctor knew what
he was prescribing when he took his pen
in hand to give us this story of how Tony
Lumpkin got even with his father-in-law.
The company which presented this classic
at the Boyd last night is one of the most
notable ever assembled to enact its roles.
The pleasure afforded by the intelligent
exposition of the idea is such as can only
be understood by those who faced the sleet
and snow to reach the theater. In addition
to tAe amusement provided by the comedy,
an attraction was offered in the person of
MISS Ellis JeHTeyS1 Tic Va
whom so much has been written and who
was seen for the first time I'm Omaha,
playing the part of Kate Hardcastle. An
opinion as to her true ability can hardly
be based on the presentation of a country
girl, blessed with rather more of common
sense than those about her, and possessed
of sound fund Of humor. Miss Jeffreys
| gives charming life to the role, and II
| II is to be taken as a measure of her
] work in general, deserves all that has been
said Of her. 1t is enough to make one wish,
| though, for a glimpse of her in part
that makes a more serious demand on her
histrionic ability.
Mr.. Crane gives to Hardcastle the care
full and painstaking attention he invariably
| bestows on any OF his undertakings. 1t
is an unctuous rendition of part that
has been approached with loving care and
reverential attitude (Mr. Crane will very
likely balk at this) by a long line of
comedians, and always found to be worthy
their best efforts. The untold story OF
Grouse in the gun room may yet burst
forth from the lips of a. Hardcastle, but
its telling can hardly be more effective
than Mr.. Cranes appreciative recollection
4 Of how It has again and again convulsed
Dlggory and his associates. From first TO
last, Hardcastle is fine old figure of a
man. and Mr.. Crane makes him so.
