Mr.. Louis Mann. after long absence
tomorrow night in the Columbia Theater
where he will for the first time be seen
in his characterization of John Krauss
in THE Man Who Stood Still" This play
the work of Jules Eckert Goodman. au-
thor of The Test and THE Right to
Live"-has been his vehicle for more than
a year. having first been acted on Sep
TENDER {, 1908, in Chicago Mr.. Mann
appeared in it last season for run in
New York city, and has since then played
it in nearly all the other large cities of
the country.
AS The Man Who Stood Still he has
a role that symboizes the Bourbon
among our immigrants. krauss is a
matchmaker of Swiss birth and Swiss
training and Swiss ideas Coming TO this
country, he insists living and doing
business according to the methods of his
forebears When his rivals adopt cleo
tPicity to light their stores, he laughs
at them and continues to use gas When
his daughter is of an age to marrw he
insists that her husband shall be of his
choosing because his father had picked
out the girl whom he married When the
daughter elopes. the old man regards her
as dead and curses a land where chill
dren are allowed to think for themselves.
1t is in act three Of the play that
Krauss and Spiegel are seen in the
pinochle game. which has been described
as the funniest bit Of sheer fooling ever
staged.
Nine Mathilde Cottrelly comes back to
Washington as Mr.. Mann's leading wom-
on. Others in his support are the Misses
Emily Ann Wellman and Lillian Sinnott,
Maynard, H. A. La Motto, John Charles
and Louis Hendricks.

MANN AS SHYLOCKeYears have
come and gone since Louis Mann first an
nOunced that he would play Shylock-
ture. AS matter of record, very few of
our pathetically inclined funmakers ever
play Shylock, although II seems to he
the favorite role of this class when they
talk for print about their ambitions. So
far, Of them all, Nat C. Goodwin is the
only one to have made the actual at
tempt, and his venture in the role lasted
through q comparatively few perform
ances. The case of f. II. Sothern may
be said not to count. for, although we
first knew him as a laughmaker in plays
like 1.-The Highest Bidder" and Lord
Chumley," he may be said, like Gilberts
Lord High EXecutioner, to have worked his
way up through the animal kingdom to
the dignity of a second trombone. He
did not take up Shakespeare in The
Merchant of Venice but played Hamlet.

When Booth and Modjeska acted to-

resumed her venture as an individual
star, her Shylock was Otis Skinner who
had been Bassan:o's viS-a-vis with her
Portia in Booths support. The late
Thomas Keene was wont to vary his
performances in King Richard III with
matinee appearances as Shylock. Rich

and kept 1t ever afterward in his active
list. CreSton Clarke also played the role

Academy.

The attraction at the Academy this
week is Edwin Milton Royle's four-act
play. THE Squaw Man" AS the title
indicates. the story has to do with the
life of the west, where when a white man
takes an Indian woman for his bride he
becomes in local parlance. "a sQuaw
man." In this particular instance the
squaw man is an E1glishman, and the
play opens in that country. There the
audience is introduced to the hero and
his relatives, among them the Earl of
kerhill. who is the head of his family. To
save the earl from punishment for en-
beZzlement of the regimental funds. and
the earrs wife, whom he loves, from dis
grace, the hero allows the suspicion of
the crime to rest upon himself and
leaves for America.

Norris, and Ralph Herr talk of it. But
he is frank about 1t, saying:
1T is not that l think the public wants
me to play Shylock. I do not believe
there are enough theater-goers in all the
country to make up one audience who
care what any actor does. If. when he
does 1t, the public doesn't like it, the
public remains away. Sympathy for an
actor struggling to do something higher
never is expressed in the purchase of
seats at the box office Neither do l talk
about Shylcck because it makes food for
print: for 1 could probably attract just
as much printed attention II l said that

Romeo. My reasons for wishing to play
Shylock are two-fold-I think that 1 can
. win artistic success in the role, and ]
think the play comes wellnigh into the
category of sure things.
Look back over the last thirty years
and you'll be astounded at the number
of men who have played Shylock with
popular success. The role was third in
popularity in Edwin Booths repertoire
