The second visit Of The Man from
Home" to Omaha will afford theater
patrons rather more than less pleasure than
the first, for the reason that Henry Hall
is playing the principal role with consider
ably more success. 1t is much more au-
thoritative acting which he is doing and
the reason for this is not the obvious one
OF increased familiarity with the part, but
because he is not now compelled slavishly
to follow a predecessor in the role.
That predecessor, whom it is hoped we
shall some day get in Omaha, could not be
improved upon, but, nevertheless, it makes
for poor acting to order one player to copy
another with exactitude. He does not then
play the part, but plays the other man ia
the part and even II a facsimile should be
specifically achieved the characterizatiOns

the young woman previously seen in the
role of Ethel Granger-Simpson. Miss
Forbes, among other merits, has a speaking
| voice which is unusually pleasing to hear
and her enunciation is that of one educated
is satisfactory. 1t is largely that which
was seen here last year.
AS for the play itself, its theme is now
pretty well known because Of the amount
written about 1t. 1t has, Of course. to do
with international marriages and the su-
p%erlority of Americans to all others as hus-
bands. 1t will continue to tickle national
egotism so long as It Is played.
While the authors hold a brief for the
middle western American, they could not
resist the temptation to make him a trifle
uncouth for contrast sake with the highly
polished, whited sepulchers Of an effete
and debilitated nobility. To an eastern
audience il is to be feared that Daniel
Voorhees, Pike Is a typical westerner In re-
spect TO ignorance of manners and conven-
tons. Typical Of the west, the character is
in better ways-in scorn Of artificiality
when a cloak for mere emptiness or worse,
in breezy energy, in general decency.
The comedy will be given through Satur-
day night, with a matinee that day.
