LARGE AUDIENCE ENJOYS LOUIS MANN

A large and appreciative audience was entertained last evening by Louis Mann in 'The Man Who Stood Still'' at Jackson's theatre. Mr. Mann full filled the expectations of those who anticipated some mething good from him and the applause he received was hearty. The company is a small one and gives MT. Mann excellent support
 The plot of the play might be found in any melodrama but the rich humor touches of irony throughout the play lift it above the level of ordinary melodrama.
 The play is the story of a good old Swiss watchmaker, John Krauss, that's all,' the very personification of conventionality. What always has been is good enough for him, and he considers any innovation in busi- ness unnecessary. He is an old fash toned character in that he has prin- ciples which he lives up to, even when he is nearly ruined. He lives with his sister Katrina and his daughter Marie, on the Bowery in New York. A rival of Krauss is Martin Mac Ferguson, an up-to-date business man, whose son Frank betrays Marie Krauss and has fake marriage cer- emony performed. Krauss forbids his daughter to return to his house and she is taken in by John Speigel an old friend of the watchmaker. The upshot of the matter is that Frank MacFerguson becomes a tramp, Marie marries Fred Spiege1 who has always loved her and the father and daugh- ter become reconciled.
 Madame Mathilde Cotthrelly as Ka- trina does very pleasing work espec- ially in the third act. She almost brings tears to the eyes of her audi ence when she tells in her simple way the proud love of John Krauss for his daughter even after she has deceived him.
 A pinochle game between Krauss and Spiegel in the third act is very funny. The bits of irony from the lips of Krauss on human nature are appropriately placed.
