G'THE SHEPHERD KING.
Wright LOrimer To Appear Al The Academy
Of Music Next Week.

Mr.. Wright Lorimer will be seen nj
the Academy of Music, Baltimore,
beginning Monday night with matinees
Wednesday and Saturday in his beau
tiful production of the four-act roman
tie Biblical drama The Shepher d
King With the possible exception
of Ben Hur', no attraction has been
placed before the theatre going public
which at all compares with ''Tbe
Shepherd King as a spectacle. Ir-
wing, probably the greatest producer
of his time, never accomplished with
in measurable distance what Mr.. Lori
mer has accomplished in both scenic
and electrical effects. The production
as a big one in every sense of the
word, and as thoroughly artistic as il
is great in size.
Mr.. Lorimer, by his acting of David.
as well as by his skill as a producer,
finds himself in the ranks of the
most conspicuous of male stars. His
David is a portrayal of such artistic
merit that TO certain extent, at
least, il marks an epoch in contem-
porary drama makes the young shep-
herd-lad the hero of God S chosen
people. a living creation, and by 1t
has advanced the study of Biblical
history more than any man of his
tune. II is TO be presumed that near
~ every one is familiar with the his
tory of David, the son of Jesse, who
has been called from his focks in
Judea TO play the harp and sing before
the mad King Saul, and who became
king of Israel at the death of Saul and
his son Jonathan.
There is no more romantic tale of
youthful valor in all history than that
of the young shepherd lad who,
armed only with sling and five
smooth stones from brook, went
down into the valley where no mail
ed captain of Saul's hosts dared ven
ture, and slew Goliath, the giant
Philistine, "who dared defy the ar
mics of the living God. There is
no such tale of friendship in all his
tory MS that of David and Jonathan,
son of the King, who sheltered The
shepherd from his fathers anger, even
though he knew he was narboring
the man who would sit upon the throne
of his father in his stead.

the odd Fellows did justice. The
