A word TO that class Of people In
Logan who care for tie better theat-
rical attractions may not be amIss,
though II accomplish little good. For
instance, this why is IL that the bet
ter attractions, when brought here,
arc not better patronized? Can the
public expect such companies TO come
to Logan If 1t is demonstrated continu-
ally that only the cheaper melo-drama
will draw the crowdsY While 1t is q
fact there have been large number
OF that class OF plays designed to ap-
peal to the 25cent pocket book and the
heart that is filled with tears and a
love for blood and thunder climatic
effects, II is true that Pelton & Smut
ger have brought us this season an ex.
ceptional number OF good attractions.
Willie Collier was superior; Jane
Corcoran was good enough for any
body; the Stewart Opera company
presented couple OF dainty operas;
1.-The Holy City, was good show:
"Parsifal" was hardly a $500 attrac-
ton, but much better at 81 90 than a
dozen Cripple Greeks" at rs cents;
1.-The Royal Chef" was peacharine,
all life, beauty, music and comedy;
Louis James. We know, was good, and
Harry Beresford Is good In anything;

desired.
These, however, with an exception
or two, have met with but fair or ex.
tremely small audiences. This Is very
unfortunate, for 1t can only mean that
Pelton & Shutter will eventually cease
to send US the better shows, and will
make us feed on red fire and murderer

The American public mas been par
ticularIy interested in the reception ac-
corded Z. II. Sothern and Julia MarlOwe
in London. in Shakespearean produc-
tions. mainly because of the jealousy
with which the English theatergoers
guard their traditional conceptions of
classic roles.
During the past week the English
weekIies containing reviews OF the
Sothern-NIarlowe productions have ar
rived and they present some interesting
and novel views. That the two Ameri-
cans have not called down the wrath
of the Britishers on a charge of sacrilege
Is a source of congratulatiOn among the
friends of the stars. That they have
won a certain amount of praise is more
than had been expected.
When Mr.. Sothern was in Washing
ton during the season just closed he said
that ne was sailing for England with
much trepidadon- He realized, he said,
that he would have TO combat a we'll
founded prejudice against a compare
lively unknown actor unknown to the
English stage) in any role, and that this
prejudice would be doJbtly hard TO over
come when he attempted to appear in
Shakespearean roles. II was for this
reason mainly that he elected to open
his London season with The Sunken
Bell" which. by the way. has been the
least successful Of all his productions.
He chose this play because London had
not formed any previous standard Of
the role OF the bell founder
Great Initial Advantages.
The London Illustrated News says of
the Sothern- Marlowe engagement:
AT last we have seen SOthern's Ham
let An actor of extremely picturesque
aspect and Of exceptional eIocaItionary
gifts. Mr.. Sothern approaches the role
Of Hamlet with great initial advantages;
and in many scenes Of the play. notably
IN the princes quiet talks with HordtiO
or his meditations on death beside
Ophelia's grave, the new Hamlet could
scarcely be bcttered. But his perform
ance sadly lacks variety, while at the
same time it delights in rather melo-
dramatic contrasts. On the one hand,
Mr.. SOtherns is a very sOmber Hamlet
a Hamlet without smile, on the other
hand. the actor now raises. now drops
his voice without any particular justifi-
cation. Thus he delivers the ITO be
