STOCK PLAYERS
In STRONG PLAY
Miss Ethel Strickland and
Other New Ones Score Hit
in 1.-THE Charity Ball.

Last nights production Of 1.-THE Charity
Balr at the Avenue Theatre by the
CONFESS and Edwards stock players.
brought TO the attention Of Whining
ton audience two new members OF this
popular company and impressed the
crowded house with tho adsptability of
these players This weeks arrangement
of parts shows an exceptional cast. So
splendidly was the piece presented
throughout the scenes Of intense action
and In tho moments wherein the skill OF
the players was depended on TO carry the
play. that it was generally regarded from
tho auditors standpoint. that THE Char
ity Ball" is the best acted drama pre-
scented by CONFESS and Edwards in their
nine weeks at the Avenue Theatre.
1.-THE Charity Ball" introduces Miss
Ethel Strickland. who In private. nfe is
Mrs. Albert J. Edwards wife Of the
actor-i-anager' Albert j. Edwards. one Of
the proprietors of Vhe stock company and
the Avenue Theatre. Miss Striokland,s in
depreciation of Belasco's character Of
Phyllis Lee touched a realism in it's
sweeps from the emotion borne Of cruel
suffering. to the sweetness OF loving at
tachment to her blind mother-in-law, that
made the character an entity of convinc-
ing power. Miss Strickland adds largely
to the strength Of the Avenue stock play
ers.
In presenting Samuel Klawans the new
heavy" Messrs. CONFESS. and Edwards
have vastly improved the cast in that
most essential part. Mr. Klawans has an
Engaging personality, a splendid stage
presence and shows a most admirable
conception OF Dick" Van Buren, Mr..
Miller is most successfully cast this week
as John Van Buren,, the rector of st.
Mildreds. Dignified and mild in his in
depreciation, he reached a ground Of
histrionism not occupied by anyone bet
ter than this Avenue favorite. His work
this week is most pleasing Mr.. Mac
Dermott was delightful as the old-fash-
Toned and choleric but good-hearted
Judge, who is much in love with Mrs.
Camilla DePeyster, taken by Miss Brook.
He is facile and adaptable and again dem
onstrated his ability as makeup artist.
Miss Short as the blind mother Of the
rector, Dick Van Buren,, has a more
prominent part than she has heretofore
taken. and she thoroughly justifies the
advancement to a larger role. Her acting
is smooth and consistent throughout. Mr..
Hockey was amusing and jolly as the
lover of the rector's little sister, Bess
which latter part taken by Miss Mabel
Strickland. is particularly charming. Miss
Strickland is always sweet and winning
and in the character of Bess she Is more
than usually attractive
The remainder Of the cast including
Margaret Pitt. Edwin Burke, Lynn B
Hammond, Frances sayre and several
others in minor parts. completed the ar
tistic ensemble.

FINE DANCING
AT OPERA HOUSE
ROSita ManteIla Heads Big
Show at This Popular
House

Rosita AIantella, anything more
graceful and captivating than on her pre-
.vious engagement is the bright particu-
lar star OF the vaudeville bill Of stars
which the Bijou Circuit Company Is Of
fering at the opera House FOR the first
three days Of this week Though Mantella
shines more brightly than ever before
the others have an opportunity to CLEAN
and the result is a program which ought
to have very material effect upon the
box office receipts.
Mantella won new. friends at the the
atre yesterday. Unfortunately Mantella
was yesterday compelled TO vary her pro-
gram and the famous Cleopatra dance
had to be reserved until to-day Baggage
men are not always as prompt as they
might be and particularly IS This true
when animals or reptiles are to be trans
ported. In the Cleopatra dance 1t is neces-
sary to have special costumes and also
number Of live snakes for the Cleopatra
dance requires the snakes. The trunk con.
tanning the Cleopatra costumes and the
box containing the reptiles went astray.
Generally snakes are not wanted. but IN
this case they were and they were want
ed badly. After considerable long distance
telephoning they we're located and Il was
found that they were on their way. The
dance win occupy its regular place upon
the program to-day though &C. was neces-
ssry to substitute the Grecian worship
dances. yesterday. The dance is an historic
as well as artistic performance and one In
which every action Of the dancer speaks
as plainly as would the spoken words of a
play.
Probably the best singing act which has
been seen at the opera House in many
weeks Is whirls Hsrmonists Quartet
! Singers with real voices, well trained and
splendidly harmonizing offer a number
OF selections in style which would do
credit to opera and good opera at that.
There is also considerable comedy injected
but the does not depend upon Il
The Hesleys are undoubtedly the best
comedy gynJhasts who have been seen at
the opera House. The comedy is excel
lent and hts in splendidly but it IS the
sensational gymnastic work OF the pair
which attracts the most attention for
they perform some really excellent and
remarkable feats.
Singing, dancing. comedy and music, =
little Of each. make up the act OF the
Campbelis and though some Of the com
edy is OF the grotesque kind Il does not
in the least detract from IT,

BIG FEATURES
AT THE CARRICK
ROSSi'S Elephants and "The
/ Horse Dealer" Appear at
DOCkStader'S

There arc two big features in the show
al. the Garrick this week. ono is Rossfs
Hippodrome elephants in what many re-
gard as the best performance Of the kind
the public has ever been offered, and the
other is the. initial appearance of Fred
Ginnett's London Comedy Company in
THE Horse Dealer"
Mr.. Ginnetts company. only landed in
America short time ago and this is their
hrst appearance on this side in public.
The act went very good yesterday and
received applause that must have con-
WINGED the company that Wilmington
playgoers liked the sketch. II Is a story
of an Englishman who takes to horseback
riding for exercise, and to reduce his
flesh. He gets the exercise and II II
doesn't reduce his flesh It is no fault OF
his. Sam Sly. a professional horse trader
has him try four different horses, all of
them with some shortcomings. but each
seemingly well qualified to land the cor.
pulent Mr. Judkins on his head It is a
funny act and yesterdays audiences en-.
ioyed II immensely.
The elephants go through a performance
that is intensely interesting and prove
their claim to being the best trained ele.
plants in the world They perform or
musical instruments, both horns and bells
and together with their trainer and toui
likely looking young women dancers they
give a great exhibition. The Melnott,
Twins and Clay Smith in singing and
dancing. Kane and Kantnor in a domesti,
farce; Deonza and I.adue, acrobatic com
