NOTED ACTOR FOR
CITIZEN COMPANY.
William ]. Kelley, New Leading
Man, Will Appear at the
Academy Tonight.

The picture puzzle In the theatrical
columns of the Sunday Times Dispatch
has been solved. civilian j. Kelley
who Is William j. Kelley?"--was
doubtless asked by many a Sunday
reader, for the pictorial display was
surely enough to arouse lively In
terest. Well. William j. Kelley is the
! Leading man OF the Giffen Company
and he appears for the first time IN
"The Three of Us" Tonight He ar
rived in Richmond Saturday morning
having been engaged by Mr.. Giffen In
New York on Thursday remaining over
one day with Manager Giffen's permits.
sion to take part in the public gambol
given by the Lambs Club at the A!tor
Theatre Friday afternoon, Mr.. Kelley
appearing in a burlesque on the reign
ling New York success, Paid In Full.
Mr.. Giffen considers the engagement
OF Mr.. Kelley the most important he
has ever made in connection with
Richmond company. and enthusiastic
ally predicts for him n greater popu-
larity than any former leading man
has ever had. "He is the best known
and most popular actor who has ever
appeared in a New York stock COM
pany having for four years enjoyed a
measure of popular favor in the keith
& Proctor companies that was Moth
ing short of marvellous" said the man
ager. in speaking of his new acquis!-
tons last night. There Is every rea.
son why Mr.. Kelley should be popu-
lar he continued, TOR added to the
gifts nature has bestowed upon him
in the way of physical graces, he is
splendidly equipped as an artist. the
,isl,i faot Of l,io
work being a wholesome manliness
that Immediately establishes him In
the favor OF an audience.
This quality. it would seem. would
be particularly valuable in the por-
travail OF the role of steve Townley,
in which Mr.. Kelley is to say. How
do you do?' to Richmond Tonight. and
If the new leading man lives UP to
even a fair percentage of what is prom
ised for him he will speedily know
what it is to be taken into the hearts
OF Richmond theatre goers.
No leading man that Richmond has
known will forget the cordiality with
which honest stage effort has been
greeted during former stock seasons,
and Mr.. Kelley will. it seems, certainly
carry away when it shall come time
for him to say sood-by, are even
greater need of appreciative interest
than have any of his predecessors.
From commercial standpoint
Alone concluded Mr.. Giffen, Mr..
Kelley's engagement Is most impor-
tant. one, for 1t would make the ordi-
nary business or professional man
gasp"
Important engagements have been
the regular order with the handsome
and ma snenc young Kelley, who has
all the geniality of the race whose
blood runs in his veins. and he has
been a star at the head of his own
company upon several occasions. That
Richmond theatre gers will be glad
to welcome Mr.. keiley Is assured.
