The ahrewd californian. ably

The shrewd Californian, ably
3rayed by Mr.. Ferris of course sets
ali the Londoners at loggersheads. amuses
himself and his audience with his frank,
genial and open ways, and finally brings
complete order and happiness out of the
chaos; that is the secret of 1t all. So it
ends joyfully, the mine is sold, the Brit
ishers are not and marriage bells tinkle
in the distance. 1t is a laughable skit.
leaving every one in good humor, and
though light not so airy as to make one
feel that he has bought gold brick in
stead of the promised Gold Nine"
AS to Dick Ferris, possibly enough has
already been said of his work. He is still
Dick Ferris but as he is required to be
the play itself of course that Is right and
proper He was bit wobbly in his lines
at times last night but the only wonder
in that connection is that the indefati-
gable Dick ever has time to learn any,
thing. His slips were not serious; his
beaming bonhomme excused anything
else, and his delightful naturalness was
so infectious that 1t took the audience
right into his confidence and it laughed
even at his mental alterations. The
comedy does call for considerable skill
at times and Dick showed a reserve power
and ability that few believed he pos
sessed.
Miss Stone and Her Gowns
Miss Stone as the Hon Mrs. Meredith
has light part, but a pretty one. CIV
ing her opportunity for fascinating por-
trayal and gorgeous gowns, both being
her forte, and in both of which she came
supremely to the test. But then Miss
Stone is an artist, and nothing else is
ever expected of her. Miss Montell as a
witching girl was quite at home and did
some clever work; and Anna L. Bates
found good opportunities in the role of a
passe Juliet, Mrs. Vandervast, of which
she availed herself.
Among the men Mr.. Kilgour was dis
appointment. He is called up to portray
a rollicking Irish NJ p, but is a rather
stiff Englishman all through. He has
nothing Of the Irish brogue to his tongue;
ne talks broad English when he does not
lapse into Scotch, and he is altogether
too stilted One wishes that he could
timber up bit and be somewhat more at
ease. Harry Won Meter does well as the
young son, George Foxwood, and Henry
Duggan plays his father, Sir Everhard.
George Drury Hart is unusual as an old
clerk, Krebbs. and Frank Beamish is
jewel of butler, whose few bits are all
too scarce.
The entire scene is laid in the same
room, most elaborate and beautiful one,
which again demonstrates the excellence
of the Ferris mountings. While not to
be taken too seriously, "a Gold Mine"
affords a delightful evening of comedy
and enjoyment and is a pleasing inter-
lude in the Ferris program of big"
things.

"cHARLEYs AUNT"
REVIVED AT BELAsco

Brandon Thomas familiar farce,
"Charley's Aunt" with Richard Vivian
in the leading role and Lewis S. Stone
out of the cast is this weeks attraction
at the Belasco. Few plays have had the
success accorded this lively exaggeration
of British college life and few have so
well deserved their longevity. There is
more genuine fun in "Charley's Aunt"
than in a dozen of later day farces, and
the Belasco company seems to enjoy the
foolery quite as much as does the audi
ence.
Vivian's characterization of the pseudo
aunt has been seen on the same stage
before and it is no less funny than 1t
was last time. AS for the others, they
are cast as follows:
Col Sir Francis Chesney. William Yerance
Stephen Spettigue.. Howard scout
Jack Chesney.. harry Glazler
Charley Wykeham. ............. Charles Ruggles
Brassett, college scout. ...Jonn DAILY Murphy
The New Footrnan.. n......,........... Charles Buck
Amy Spettigue, Spettigue's niece. Flo Smythe
Kitty Verdun, his ward. Katherine Emmet
Ella Delahay, an orphan. Dorothy Bernard
The farce provides scant opportunities
for the women the company; neither
Miss Emmett nor Miss Bernard, the
newcomers, having had chance as yet
to prove their worth.

PROVES HE CAN ACT IN

Who says Dick Ferris cannot act? In
"a Gold Nine" which he and his COM
pany put on at the Auditorium last night.
he really demonstrates that he is come
dian-and to make people laugh is indeed
high portion of the art of mumming.
True, he very largely has to play him
self. but the very fact that this is true,
and that at the same time he completely
rounds out and portrays the character
assigned him. is again evidence of his
thespianic ability. So that after all both
3ole and play may be said to fit him and
r,fe to fit them. The combination affords
