The New Louis Mann Role.

" In all his wide experie nee on the
 stage-and he acted in support cf such as Booth, the elder Salyini, and Lawrence Barrett long before he made his first great success in "Tae Girl From Paris'-Louis Mann has never had another role like that of old John Krauss, the central figure in "The Man Who Stood Still in which he will be seen on Monday night, March 1, in the Elks Theatre. The character permits this actor so run the entire gaunt of the emotions. It was not written for him, as might
 be supposed. MT. Mann long ago asserted that he did not care to be fitted with parts, preferrng to lit him self to suit the whims or pecu- liarities of any one actor. Old krauss is stubborn fellow, who rejects the American idea that success means be- ipgs alive to all opportunities; and he simply laughs when his rivals sweep by him in business. But his laughter changes to maddened rage when his only child daughter, runs off with the fiashy son of his most bitter business opponent; and it is then that he begins to wonder if it were not better for the foreign-born who come here to reside to seek to adjust themselves to American ideals.
