Allie lf1 az

The two Jeffersons, Joseph, jr., and
+ William, appeared at the Grand last
night in Sheridan's Rivals the play
in which their illustrious father de-
/ lighted millions of playgOers for so
many years. and in spite of this
handicap they succeeded in satisfying
the audience by their delineation OF
the character and speech of the rakes
and squires of England in the days
when Bath was a famous watering
place.
In the light of the acting of Joseph,
jr., and William Jefferson last night it
is not necessary to speak here of the
way their father played the part OF
Bob Acres, or of the work of William
Florence at Lucius O'Trigger- Their
predecessors in these roles won
through eternity. so it is of the sons
alone that the critic should speak at
this time
If Joseph Jefferson the younger has
not genius he at least has the ability
to portray Bob Acres in a manner to
delight those who know that man of
valor. And the wild IriShman,
O'Trigger. and high tempered old Sir
Anthony Absolute, these old friends
were as lilxable and amusing as ever.
1t is a treat in these days of bur-
lesque and melodrama and heart in
terest shows to turn back a couple of
hundred years to the lace and ruff1es
and dress swords of cOurtly England
when the men swore by 'Od's
Bodkins and 'Slife. Sheridan's mas
terpiece is the brightest, wittiest con-
tribution of those days when English
comedy was born and the smartest
men in the United Kingdom turned
their attention to the coming of bon
mots and witty, humorous sayings
The part of Captain Absolute. while
well played, lacked the dash and vigor
Mrs. Joseph Jefferson, Jr.. played Mrs.
Ma1aprop with distinction. Miss
B1anch Bender was pretty and
pleasing Lydia Languish.
To one person at least, in the aud
fence last night, the younger Jeffer-
sons in 1.-THE Rivals was the most de-
1ightful offering of the Grand this
winter.
1t is sad and painful thing to re-
late, but justice to the memory of the
great and gentle Jefferson compels a
correction of statement made by the
dramatic critic of the morning paper
who refers to Joseph jefferson, the
elder, as playing and winning fame in
the part of Sir LuciUS O'Trigger while
William Florence, so-star with Jeffer-
son, is spoken as having played Bob
Acres Ye Gods! Jefferson as the wild
Irishman! Imagine the part if you
can A famous actor works for thirty
years and achieves unparalleled sue
cess at his chosen profession in a
certain part. Now comes a dramatic
critic who is known from here to
anu taxes IIlS part OF BOD
Acres away from the old star and
bestowS it on another with as careless
a grace as ever O'Trigger himself

field of honor Fame, thou art a
