VALENCIA PLAYERS
SCORE WITH 'zIRA'
In Emotional Parts Miss Stod=
dard Compares With More
Famous Actresses

San Francisco play goers have be-
fore them this week a repetition of
the lesson that has been taught them
time and again by home companies of
stock players-the lesson that it is
not always the eastern company play-
ing at high price that can give the
most satisfactory production of a meri-
torieus play.
1t is the Valencia stock company that
is teaching the lesson this week, and
the vehicle is one that forces compari-
son with no less personages than Mar
garet Anglin and Florence Roberts.
Both these actresses won laureIs in
"Zira,' and yet the Valencia company
last night achieved distinct success
in this same drama in spite of the
fact that the play and the more famous
players are well known in San Fran
cisco.
Every plaudit that was won last
night was doubly earned, for it was
literally torn from a small and unre-
sponsive audience. 1t took two full
acts for the first chill to wear off and
even then the audience was stinted in
expression of appreciation 1t was the
work of the whole company, rather
than of a single individual PLAYER. that
contributed most largely to the sue
cess. The parts We're we'll cast and
there were but scant reminders that it
was first night production.
Miss Blanche Stoddard, as "Zira, =
reached her best In the emotional crisis
of the third act, rising to the supreme
test of her art when she turned fiercelv
in denunciation of the woman whose
name and home she had taken. In the
lesser emotional scenes she did not do
so well, her chief faults being a lack
of distinctness in enunciation and FOO
rhetorical reading Of many of her lines.
Robert Warwick gave a distinctive and
satisfactory rendition of the role of
Rev. Gordon Clavering.
From the standpoint of most excel
lent and finished work in the minor
parts. Thomas Maclarnie, as CAPTAIN
Arnold Sylvester, carried off first hon
ors, though there was little to choose
from between his work and that of
Miss Lillian Andrews, as Lady Con-
stance Clavering. Miss Helen Lackaye
was cast in the unsympathetic part of
Ruth Wilding and carried the difficult
role extremely well. Most notable for
their work in the other parts were
Charles Dow Clark, as Sir Frederick
Knowles, and Darrell Standing. as the
bishop of Mapping.
PANTAGEs-EMPIRE
The 10 'Kountry Kids" at the En-
pire last night made a screaming hit
in their tabloid musical comedy, Irene,
the Village Queen" which is a lively
concoction of comedy. music and dane
ing. Schepp's pony, dog and monkey
circus is another big success and the
comedy sketch presented by Dunn.
Francis and company is one of the best
seen in this city this season. Indeed.
the entire bill made a big bid for popu-
larity at both performances yesterday
and will prove attractive all week.

nightmare comic opera.
Briefly. the production is notable
scenically and in the main is well acted,
but it is not play. 1t is huge, fam
tastic vision; a gigantic revel of the
Imagination, not to be chained with
steel or cornered in theater.

seems so precisely to express the
smartness of a short bit of fur worn
tightly about the neck, with no lOOpA

that persons with delicate throats
should avoid the style, for it is one
that makes the wearer susceptible to
cold when the fur is left off.

There was considerable rivalry be-
tween the two English actors, Sir
Henry Irving and Beerbom Tree. just
about the time that both of them Were
springing into prominence. Now it hap
pened at the height of the feud that a
play was submitted to Sir. Henry Irv-

required to ride a donkey in the sec

play so impressed Sir Henry that he
accepted it and starting rehearsing at

Nation in Clutches of Dreaded Grip

Nation in Clutches of Dreaded Grip.
That the grip is no respecter of age
sex, class or nationality is Very forci-
bly, demonstrated by the prevalence OF
the disease at the present time.
In the large cities especially, 50
great has been the increase of the grip
that ii has almost reached the stage of
an epidemic. and what Is infinitely
more serious is the fact that its NOR
tality rate is higher than ever be-
fore.
While it is true that the changeable
temperature, exposure to cold air. wet
feet etc, render everyone more or less
liable to this serious disease. the fact
remains that the grip can not only
be prevented. but its dangerous symp-
toms can be greatly reduced by taking
a remedy that can be absolutely de-
pended upon to act promptly and bene-
ticially on the respiratory tract, which
is the seat OF the disease
At the first sign of a cold, which
usually announces itself by u sneeZe,
