1.-THE Lion and tho Mouse" Appear.
for Second Time.
For the second time in as many sea-
sons Henry B. Harris presented one
Of his 1.-The Lion and the Mouse" COM
panies before local audience at the
Odeon last night. Much the same cast
of principles as appeared here last
year occupied the centers Of interest
in last nights production.
THE Lion and the Mousse" from the
pen Of Charles Klein, is one of the
strongest American dramas before the
public today. 1t deals with the real
tiles Of life, and pictures In detail the
wrongs Of frenzied finance when the
reputation, future happiness and even
life Of the innocent victims OF a monied
power IS made to show the effects OF
combined financial interests.
Paul Everton, who took the leading
male role of John Burket Ryder in last
seasons production, appeared in the
same character last night. and was
even more satisfactory than last year
Mr.. Everton's Interpretation of the
lion" is more finished than during
the preceding season, and some of the
ibruskness that formerly characterized
his stage picture has been elimin-
ated.
Miss Josephine Lovett. who appeared
as Shirley Rossmore last year, is
supplanted by Dorothy Donnelly, who
gave very artistic delineation of the
power OF lone woman against the
combined strength of those who were
bent on the political downfall Of her
father. Miss Donnelly assumes the
role well.
The eccentric character of the Hon.
Fitzhugh Bagley, taken last year by
John G. Robertson, loses nothing in
Richard Lambert's presentation. and
James Cooley's Jefferson Ryder was
even better than that of Macy Harlem
Of last years cast.
Altho not as large as last years
house, the audience of Wednesday
night was very satisfactory
