that has won following among theatre
goers in all parts of the country, will be
the offering for this week at the Bijou
theatre, with the usual matinees. In
speaking of this attraction. the New Or

and the characters are typically Southern
1t at once holds uncommon interest to

the very nature of the play, most crit

to be particularly careful in their work,
that they may not draw characters which
are short in any particular of the charae-
teristics of manner. language, accent or
dress of people of the South, and partic-
ularly of Louisiana.
'JJnder Southern Skies" is deliberately
and atistically staged this season. The
stage settings are fresh, realistic and well
executed, the costumes are accurate and
without a suggestion of the tawdry, and
the other properties are in keeping. IN

father, the late illustrious E. A. Sothern,
so years ago, holds forth pleasurable an
ticipation to theatregoers at the Jefferson
theatre on Wednesday night.
In his performance of Dundreary, Soth-
ern has again proven his wonderful pow
ers of versatility. In the entire realm of
the drama nothing seems impossible to
this extraordinary artist At the outset of
his career Sothern had determined to be
free from the incumbrance that followed
his father-that of being "one-part' act
or. The elder Sothern had become known
only for his Dundreary, as Jefferson for
his Rip. E. HI. Sothern has yearly added
to his portraitures until his fame rests as
securely in the classics of Shakespeare,
the romantic and poetic DRAMA and in
tragedy, as it does in his first love of
comedy. One has only to think of the
marvellous contrasts of his Chumley,
Hamlet, Romeo, Villon, Robert of Sicily,

player has given the American stage

different in general personal appearance
from any others who have appeared here
in the role, George Manning's work in
the role of Major Crofton, father of the
heroine, leaves little to be desired. Miss
Marion Drexel, in the role of the heroine,
Stella Crofton, deserves much credit for
her artistic work. She is a pretty, grace
full young woman of sweet voice and at
tractive stage presence, though at times
her annunciation is faulty, due in all
probability to a cold. The role of the he

Col. Mavor. L. l.. Delaney, as Steve

4The ReveIatIon.r

Ralph Stuart, engaged as general stage
director for the Martin and Emery Play
ers, which will present 1.-THE Revelation"
the new four-act drama by Henry Knott
at the Jefferson theatre Monday night is
an actor of note himself, and was last
seen in the title role of "Strongheart."
Mr.. Stuart is noted for his good taste and
his high intelligence in stage directing
and he has expended his best efforts on
the new Knott drama. This play is in
terpreted, by notable company of men
and women who have won distinction be-
hind the footlights. The name of Mary
Shaw is one to conjure with; name that
is known wherever art is admired and
where powerful acting is recognized. Miss
Shaw is the leading woman in the Mar
tin and Emery Players, and she will have
the great emotional role in 1.-The Revela-
tom wilfred Roger, young romantic
actor of striking personality and exuber-
ant force will be seen as the leading jul
venile, while Adelaide Fitz-Alen, Walter
Horton, George Fox and Gordon Mendels-
sohn will have holes to which they are
sngularly well fitted. The production of
this drama is elaborate. 1t is costly with
out being vulgar in display. and is taste
full well as expensive.
The story of the play, in brief has to
do with betrayal and desertion. 1t is the
story of a trusting woman and a false
man, and the inevitable doom that fol-
lows. The man loves, but betrays and
goes away in the world, to marry, to be-
come rich and prosperous and respected.
The woman is left to bear her shame and
rear her son. To the man is born a
daughter. and after a score of years the
illegitimate son and the daughter born in
wedlock meet and fall in love with each
other The despairing mother, who alone
knows the secret, reveals it to her son,
who curses her and ends his own life.
This story is told trenchantly in four
acts There are tense situations and
strong climaxes in each act The story
proceeds with the grim awfulness of fate
itself, and while the atmosphere is tragic
for the most part, there are flashes of
humor here and there, and lighter scenes
to relieve the intensity.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1908-11-29

piece in the manner of its first presenta-
ton.
The character of Lord Dundreary has
been closely linked with the history of the
American stage, and the performance of
Mr.. Sothern, therefore, outside of the
intrinsic merit of his own acting, takes
on added interest to old and new theatre
goers alike.
Lord Dundreary has not been imper-
sonated since the death of E. A. Sothern,
in 1881. For more than % years the char
acter was the most popular comedy crea-
ton on the American stage, and enjoyed
almost as great popularity in England.
The present revival by the son of the
illustrious creator Of the role is heartily
welcomed.
Tom Taylor wrote the comedy originally
to exploit the uncouth sort of American
who was coming into humorous literature
on both sides of the Atlantic, as popu-
larized by Mark Twain, Bert Harte and
other early writer's. The author sent the
play over to Laura Keene, then in the
height of her glory in New York.
1t was hastily staged as makeshift,
because another play then in rehearsal
could not be put on. There was much
objection by the members of Miss Keene's
company on account of the characters as
signed them, and Mr. Sothern was only
placated by being told to do what ne
pleased with Lord Dundreary-and he did.
The play was produced October Is, 1858,
with e. A Sothern, Joseph Jefferson,
Miss Keene, c. w. Couldock. Edwin Var
rey, Mary Wells, Sarah Stevens, Mrs.
Sothern and other old-tme favorites in
the cast.
Dundreary's part was character bit,
not very prominent but the clever actor
either accidentally or otherwise intro
duced the now famous hop" and con-
tinued to elaborate the business and dia-
logue and in a short time made the fop
the dominating figure in the comedy. For
% years the names of Sothern and Dun
dreary We're closely linked throughout
America and England. The play provides
an evening of entertainment and joyful
humor, and it is good for the present
generation to once in a while be regaled
with that which provided amusement for
its ancestors.
Lord Dundreary is the original SILLY
ass" of an Englishman, innumerable imi-
tations of which have since been pro-
vided. He is such a cheerfully consistent
idiot, and his attempted witticisms are so
utterly ridiculous, that he is actually
adorable in his absurdity.
Mr. Sothern has undertaken in his re-
vival to present the play in precisely the
same manner as it was given by his
father. He is able to do this as could no
other actor because of his close associa-
ton with his father and the many times
he has seen him play the part. The fortu-
nate possession of the original prompt
book enables him to give practically an
exact reproduction.
Mr. Sothern's supporting company will
include Messrs. Sidney Mather, William
Harris, p. ]. Kelly, Milano Tilden, John
Taylor, Malcolm Bradley, Rowland Buck
stone, Albert Howson and Miss Eleanor
Head, Miss Virginia Hammond, Miss Ina
Goldsmith, Miss Gladys Hanson, Miss Lo-
retta Healy, Miss Katherine Wilson and
Miss Ethel Gray.
