OPERA HOUSE
Wednesday, August 10.

"A Royal Slave" is u most striking
production in many ways. Ii Is new
and pleasing departure in the way OF
the play. and there Is nothing similar
10 il on the stage to-day. II is unlike
any other story containing an interest
ing theme presenting d pretty romance
in a manner which holds the audience
throughout the entire play.
Walter Hnbbell. who portrays the
part OF "Aguila' the Slave, is man
OF fine physique, possessing rich,
mellow voice and handling the char
acter In masterful manner. He gives
an excellent Interpretation OF "A type of
n race which now remains only a
memory. Mr. Clarence Bennett has
selected an entire cast that seems ex-
ceptionslly well fitted for the parts
which they protray. Mr.. Hubbell
gives strong representation OF char
acter which appeals to the audience
and demands talent Of superior quail
ity. There Is not an interesting char
scter in the play. The stage settings
are admirable and lacking In nothing.
An unusually strong company will be
seen in the play. and those who attend
the performance here will not have
cause to regret IT,
