February, when Manager Cook of the
Hartford theater engaged her as an in
genue. In speaking of her rapid adj
vance into favor with Connecticut aud
fences a Hartford paper says
TN February, when Manager Cook
opened the Hartford theater as a stock
house he presented to the public Of
Hartford for the first time a modest,
dainty little woman, one of those to
whom the term girl clings with pc
culiar fitness. Her intelligence in
handling her roles, her dainty girlish-
ness and her evident grasp of the es-
sentials of her art, together with her
apparent womanliness, won for her in
slant favor with patrons of the house.
One might say that she made for her
self a 'cozy corner in the hearts OF
all, and so, naturally, it came the thing
to watch for Florence Barker and her
method of handling her latest role
Everything she has done has been cap
italy done. She nearly reached the top
notch in eccentric comedy work as
Fuckers in The Prince Chap, scoring
heavily with all After that she went
back to the girl roles, and most or us
who admire pretty faces, and dainty
ways were satisfied Last week she
rose to the dignity of leading woman,
and everybody was happy. She more
than made good in a role not at all
easy, and wherein the least OVERRIDING
would have put it out of the picture
and spoiled the whole perspective.

piece on tour playing it here little
more than a year ago at the Los An
geles theater, then a combination
house. Now the play is to be seen in
stock at the Burbank during the week
beginning with a matinee performance
today and including the usual matinee
Saturday.
The comedy opens in n Washington
city police court, where Bob Warburton
is brought a prisoner, accused of alb
Quoting pretty Miss Betty Annesley.
Bob is In reality a lieutenant in the
United States army. He has disguised
himself as a groom, however, to play
a trick upon his sister, Nancy War
burton, and mistaking his victim In
the crush of a diplomatic reception, he
finds himself convicted of a INSIDE
meanor and fined, whereupon Miss Bet
ty, exercising a woman's prerogative
changes her mind, pays his fine and
hires him to take charge of her father s
stable
Bob determines to maintain his mas
querade. He accepts the place, wooes
his fair employer and wins her love
in the guise of a servant, after saving
her father from disgrace by preventing
his intended sale of government secrets
to an emissary of the Russian car
The comedy is skillfully contrived and
the story is interesting. The Burbankers
usually are at their best in this style
Of play.
William Desmond will be seen as the
masquerading Lieutenant; Miss Blanche
Hall, as the demure Betty Annesley;
Miss Lowell Alice Taylor, as Nancy
Warburton; William Yerance, as Col
onel Anneoley Betty's father: Harry
Mestayer as Charles Henderson, Bob
Warburtons friend, engaged to Nancy;
Louise Royce, as Betty's chaperone;
Frederick Gilbert, as Count Karnoff Of
the Russian secret service; Willis
Marks. as Magistrate Watts; H. S.
Duffield. as Bob's old colonel, and
Mango buffet, as a maid. The others of
the company are cast in congenial roles.

Most of the principals in 1.-THE Merry
Widow cast have played at the New

Frances Cameron, who has sung the

ordinary playgoer Often, also, where
problem plays are the issue, the pub
lie is left in the dark as to the real
purpose of presenting the problems
Today we have in the drama wonder
full exemplars of all sorts and condi-
tions of soul. lbsen, Hauptman,
Echegary, Maeterlinck, D'Annunzio,
Sudermann and an army of others, all
are subtle masters of psychology, and
all deal with the action of the soul
rather than with stage action as we
used to consider it.
These dramatists all deal with the
idea, the idea being the revelation of
our modern spirit. 1.-The Melting Pot"
by Israel Zangwill, occupies such a
unique position. Although within it,
self it holds a strong philosophic con-
cept, it is not clothed in any abstruse
symbolism: rather. the most human
realism is employed, combined with
the presentation of q tale intensely
interesting for it's own sake. The
characters are splendidly drawn from
real life The love tale is tense and
emotional, the comedy broad and
light, and the whole drama humanely
"red ripe at the core" But it is not
in the philosophic concept, nor yet
in the Strong characteristics, that the
greatness of the play abides. 1t is

appeals to the truest Americanism
that has yet been given in dramatic

We near the call of the sublime
American ideal. We catch the ap-
peal to a living patriotism. But ''The
Melting Pot" also deals with the Jew
as a Jew, and this Jew in immediate
living relationship to the present day
America and the American ideal. We
see the struggle of the Jewish soul
with it's own race question, ortho-
doxy versus progression, as well as its
attitude toward the republic. Gang

BELAsCO-The stock company's
well ballasted production of George
AIDES comedy 1.-THE College Widow, "
will be continued for another week,
commencing Monday night The as
signment Of parts in the Belasco cast
is, in many respects an ideal one.
Richard Bennett is Billy Bolton, the
halfback who deserts the college en-
dowed by his father in favor of the
opposition institution of learning that
boasts of a very charming daughter Of
the prosaic "prexy" Miss Helen
Holmes has proved herself an actress
of charm, and her portrayal of Jane
Witherspoon, the college widow has
met immediate favor. Nothing that
Beatrice Noyes has ever done has won
for her greater critical or popular
praise than her clever portrayal of
Flora Virgins, the gum chewing, un-
grammatical daughter of college
boarding house keeper. Charles Giblyn.
Howard Scott, Richard Vivian, David
Hartford. James Applebee, Louis Nor
rison, Sheldon Lewis and a score or
more of other players contribute ma
terially to making the play a good, en-
heartening entertainment.
ORPHEUM-For its headliner the
week beginning Monday matinee, the
Orpheum will offer Laddle Cliff, a
stranger to the west, now on his first
American tour, but a palpable hit in
New York. Cliff. who is only II, IS
said to be to London what Harry Lau-
der has been to Scotland, and his
droll ways, songs and eccentric dances
have created an anticipatory interest
in his appearance here. Laddie Cliffs
fun is thoroughly English, but has
tickled American audiences equally.
Girls claim a large portion of the
new acts, two of them wholly! One,
the eight Original Madcaps, is made
up of that famed pony ballet, which
was feature during the long run Of
"a Knight for a Day" at Wallacks,
New York. These eight girls claim to
be the originals in acrobatlc ensemble
dancing; are trained to the minute,
pretty and graceful.
The other girl act Is Max Wits
Singing Colleens," a group of four
from the Emerald Isle, who have a
repertoire of songs of the old and the
new world. Their quaint dress and the
oddly of their manner combine to ex-
cite the interest.
Ollie Young and his brothers come
with a novel act in which they COM

the cosmic urge to abandon the old
traditions.
1t is the call of the future America
that Zangwill has voiced through his
play, "The Melting Pot" and in the
specializing of the Jew as his mouth
piece of ideal American sentiments,
he had a double duty, on the one
hand to teach a lesson to the Jew
himself, and on the other the equally
needed reminder to the whole COM
munity of the spiritual brotherhood
and spiritual freedom which is the
mission of America.

felt of things theatrical, really felt that
we have found something beautiful,
fresh, human and interesting, and we
believe that when Florence Barker
plays the same role in New York next
winter, those who have the making or
marring of the careers Of plays and
players will believe so, too, and what
is more to the point, say So"
Miss Barker is 10 years old and her
relatives and friends in this city are
naturally gratifed at her progress.
Among other recent plays in which she
has appeared in Hartford are 1.-The
TTpstart' and 1.-THE Vampire" her role
in the latter drama being Allene Arden.
With Miss Barker in the Hartford stock
company is Miss Eleanor Carey, known
here for her work as character woman
at the Belasco.

story of a mothers and sisters deVo-
ton to a boy who has been unjustly
accused of crime. The play has thrill
ing incidents and big melodramatic
moments, and is intended to enforce
wholesome moral. Prominent in the
cast are George Webb, whose acting
has met favor with the audiences Of

addition to the company. Stage Di
