The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1909-06-09

Thursday evening next and bear in
mind that the title role is to be rendered
by Eugene LaRue, who has won world
wide reputation in the character. The
Detroit Free Press thus describes the
play as recently produced IN that city
under Mr.. LaRue's direction: "The
Burglar" cannot help but please the
largest audience, as it is a play which
would appeal to any one. The story of
the production is too we'll known to need
repetition at this time-the book having
been on the market with large sale for
many years. The stage settings and
furnishings were among the prettiest and
most home-like ever seen on our stage,
and reflect great credit upon the COM
pany's stage manager, Mr.. LaRue. Ev-
cry detail of cozy home scene was eff
fected in charming manner-the SER
wants, the women's dresses, arrange
ment Of furniture and the abundance of
properties making the scene complete.
The nature of the play is such that with
but one or two exceptions, not one word
is spoken above the ordinary tone of
voice. The stage work however, neces-
states the most careful observance of
every phase of the dramatists art-the
light comedy scenes. the pathetic scenes,
and the most affecting pieces of work
being most difficult. So realistic did
the company make this production that
it almost seemed that the audience was
intruding-that home scene was being
enacted in real life, and the doors and
windows being open, large number of
people were so far forgetting themselves
as to stop and watch the principals in
the incident. The parts could not have
been divided among the members of the
company with better success. Every
one had part particularly adapted to
their style of work. and reflected great
credit upon themselves. Baby Patti
captivated the audience. She had most
difficult role for child so young, but
she was equal to the occasion, her work
being such as to further warrant her in
being regarded as most wonderful little
lady,"
