T HE THEATER .
Columbia Theater.

An actress with a clientele is AN ac-
tress to be envied and an actress to be
admired A clientele is never won with
out deserving. 1t has something OF the
character of select circle of close
friends.
Annie Russell is an actress with a
clientele. She is beloved for her own
sake and her play is important only as a
vehicle. If it is good play, SO much
the better: but in any case her own per-
sonaiity can be depended on TO attract
a large, refined and contented audience.
This is the case whether the author eX-
plotted be William Shakespeare, as on
the occasion of her latest previous visit.
or, as ut present. John Valentine.
Mr.. Valentines play is entitled THE
Stronger Sex 1t reverses the old story
of the Tanning of the Shrew The Kath-
crime of the performance transforms d
scamp of a husband into gentleman
and useful member of society. This
transformation is secured at the point
OF IL revolver little pearl handled, jew
elry-store revolver which Miss Russell
holds. in such d gingerly fashion as to
caSt<doubtS on the stories OF the shoot
ing experience the heroine is supposed
to have had on an American ranch. But
it does the work.
The husband is brought TO a realizing
sense of his position and falls genuinely in
love with the resolute lady whom he was
mistakenly inclined to bully. The chain
of events. of course, gives opportunity
for some very pretty dialogue, and it
cannot be said that the performance is
parsimonious in the matter of converse
ton. There is some very good acting in
the piece. Oswald Yorke has the diff
cult role of the husband, and plays it
without sacrificing the sympathy of the
audience in the first and second acts to
such an extent that he cannot regain it
in the third. Helen Tracy is conspicu-
Gus member of the cast as rich self
opinionated, but goOd-hearted, woman.
She represents the character consistently.
though on rather emphatic lines. Alma
Kruger and Walter Hitchcock admirably
sustained the secondary love story which
runs through the play, and Dore David
son brough the skill of the experienced
player to brief scene in which he has
a character part. The Stronger Sex" Is
not great play; but it has leading
role suitable to Miss RuSsellS talents and
personality. and this, after all, is the
main consideration.

Academy.

The audience at the Academy last night
was pleased with THE Candy Kid. The
piece is really nice bit of Theatre con-
fec tionery, abundantly favored with GIN
ger. Ray Raymond. in the title role is
a vivacious hero. winning favor by his
thrilling rescues. thwarting the villain at
every turn. Every situation seems TO
build up another. Perhaps 1t will be
funny. raising u hearty laugh. only to be
checked by some sudden peril that has
come in sight. OF course. there are pa
thetic scenes. too. Miss Manda Ludlow,
as Bonnie, is a charming heroine, amply
deserving the genuine applause she re-
ceived. AS a comic character, Louise
Willis adds many bright spots to the
production.
