In the Theaters.
THE DETROIT.

That virile actor, Wilton Lackaye,
returned to the Detroit opera house
Monday night for a weeks engage
,ment In the Hall Game play, The
Bondman." AS play, "The Bond
man" Is far superior to the book from
which 1t Is made, and while the orig
inal characters are preserved, 1t is
not so much a dramatization OF the
novel as an independent play on the
same subject.
In the play, Mr. Lackaye is given an
opportunity to depict In the part of
Jason, the Sicilian. a powerful charac-
ter, showing a complete metamor-
phorsis from the coarse. vengeful
type as he appeared In the first scene,
to the lover, the bondman, sacrificing
everything he held dear, even life
itself, as he believed, for his brother.
The actor is given ample opportunity
to display his unusual gifts In this
character OF Jason, and makes of II
one Of the most forceful and convinc-
ing parts on the stage today.
Greeba, the Manx girl, with whom
the brothers are in love, Is played by
Elsie Ferguson, heretofore unknown
to Detroit. She proved to be an &C.
tres of unusual grace, with winsome
face and charming manner. She made
the most OF her part.
One OF the most important and ex.
acting roles fell to Ethelbert Hales, as
Father Ferrati, the unfrocked priest,
and he met every demand with care.
ful consideration for detail that made
his acting far above the average. Sid
ney Ayres as Michael Is an earnest
and conscientious actor. The remand.
er of the company was acceptable. The
play will continue the remainder of
the week, with Wednesday matinee.
THE TEMPLE.
A bill that is full of vim and GO
is presented for the delectation OF
patrons of the Temple theater this
week. In all truth 1t must be said
that Charles +. Semon, scheduled as
THE Narrow Feller," and who closely
resembles an animated lightning rod
Is whole show by himself. His abil
ity to produce music from every OBJ
ject he picks up, whether 1t be the
pipe he is smoking, fiddle with one
string. or the hat rack that he takes
from the wall, makes his performance
worth half hundred good laughs
while his sudden Transformation from
