Among the few attractions that
have been successful on the road this
season, Wilton Lackaye in THE
Bondsman" has been In the top Of the
list. Despite the financial depression
that swept the country, Wilton Lack
aye has been among the few whose
business ON the road was not affected.
In every city In which he has APP
:peared, east, west, north and south,
the result was the same, crowded
houses and lavish plaudits from press
and public.
In the role Of Jason in 'sThe
|Bondsmann Wilton Lackaye has added
another artistic creation to his long
list Of successes, rivaling in every re
spect his ever to be remembered de-
Ilineation Of "Svengali" in "Trilby."
The character OF "Jason" is one that
but few actors could fill, for 1t requires
not only q superb physique, but calls
for the display OF all the human emo
tions which must be portrayed with
exceptional artistic ability. From saw
agery to civilization, from hatred to
love, from sorrow to joy, from despair
to hope, all these emotions n por-
trayed. From pagan vengeance,
through many stages, to Christian Tor
giveness, the role Of Jason runs, and
Wilton Lackaye has, by his artistic
talents, given to the stage a creation
that is likely to linger in memory for
many years.
The production OF s.'The Bondsman"
Is a massive one and was brought to
this country by Manager Brady from
the Drury Lane theater in London,
where the play ran for one year to re-
markable business.
