Great interest will be given to Mr.
Sothern's performance Of Lord Dun
dreary''-the eccentric impersonation
immortalized by his father. E. A. Soth-
ern. for twenty-five years. Mr.. Sothern
presents It in the same manner as did
his father, and his representations of
the role is looked upon as one of the
most humorous creations of the present
day drama
"Richelieu'' is the latest portraiture
Mr.. Sothern has given to the drama. He
presented the character few weeks
ago for the first time in San Francisco,
selecting that city as 1t was the home
of the great California stock eompa-
MES which saw Booth, Barrett, McCul-
Tough and Forrest in the same role.
Through his representation of the Car
dinal, Sothern added greatly to his al
ready acknowledged dramatic emf

upon as a masterpiece OF dramatic art.

lineation and a charm of portrayal that
was characteristic of Booths imperson-
alton. Sothern has made an elaborate
production Of Sir Bulwer LyttoB's great
romantic drama
No artist on the American stage has
the equipment to present Hamlet" as
SotheTn does. In his own person he has
the physical charm. youth, poetry and
intensity, and these, allied to his con-
scientious skill and art, have given a
new and memorable meaning to the
character of the poetic prince
Sothern comes here supported by the
most important dramatic organization
that has ever yet been seen with him.
