"A MESSAGE FROM MARS
WELL PRESENTED AT BLANEY'S.

Patrons of Blaney's playhouse re-
ceived "A Message from Mars" yester-
day afternoon so cordially and so spon-
taneously as to bespeak continuance
of this feeling for the remainder of the
week. Such plays as the one staged
this week are not the usual attraction
at Blaney's and the management Is to
be congratulated on giving its patrons
an opportunity of seeing such play
|so well acted,
The name Is almost misleading, but
from the very first lines of Horace
Parker around whom the plot is writ
ten, the audience is given to under
stand that there Is a solid strata Of
truthful lessons to be CLEANED. The
story is so woven around a selfish man
as to picture the frailties and foibles
of one wrapped up in his own desires
and self contented as long as the world
goes right with him.
He is awakened by a dream and the
climax furnishes the lesson. Beresford
Lovett, as Horace Parker, is a twin
type of Charles Hawtrey, who made
the part, and who had big New York
run.
Maurice Cass. in his delineation of a
tramp, did some clever acting and did
not overstep his dramatic lines. Miss
Margaret Dunn as the neglected
fiancee, was clever, as was also Isabel
Egremont as Aunt Martha.
The entire cast, in fact, was good and
the same scenic effects as produced by
the original company are carried.
A good weeks business should follow
yesterdays fine offering of q clean, en-
tcrtaining, morally edifying play
