Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-11-20

ing woman OF the Boyd Stock company, 1t
Is in order here to say that she will under
take this week and next two more exoics.
Beginning today Miss Lang plays Cigarette
in Under Two Flags" poor, wild, young
thing who gives the last price one can pay
her life, for the object of her love- Next
week another supreme sacrifice by another
untutored soul. Nat U-RIch, the Indian girl
in 1.-THE Squawman." Both characters will
afford test Of her ability and as such are
gladly welcomed by her
Mr. Harris last night played his last time
with the Eva Lang company. He has been
a decided success here, but he has pre-
ferred to sever his connection with the
company and TO go back 20 New York His
passing is sincerely regretted, but the out
Hook is excellent that his successor, Mr..
( Lynch, viii fill the vacancy in admirable
style Mr.. Harris has done some notable
acting since his connection with the Boyd
began. His John Storm in THE Christian"
was veritable tour-de-force and his play
ing OF the princelng in odd Heidelberg
a characterization to hold in grateful
memory.
Lloyd Ingraham has also sung his swan
song as a member Of the company, for he
is now interested in other dramatic work,
a school, and will not act publicly for a
long time he hopes. Mr.. Ingraham has not
this fall duplicated his memorable success
in Tho Devil but his playing in char
acter parts has ceneuted the admiration
which many have had FOR long time for
his acting. Occasionally he has been forced
out of his meter into straight parts and he
has got away with these pretty well, al
though such assignment is rather stiff for
a character actor.
Mr.. Selman, Mr. Evans, Miss Dubois and
Vol.
MI Selmans best opportunity came in
"The Lion and The Mouse but he has
done many smaller parts than the high
financier with like credit, IN "A Woman's
Way" he gave notably easy and smooth
light comedy portrayal Of a rich old boy
and he was like the real thing, and neither
lay figure as many an actor would hav,
been in the part, nor yet did he give a
conventional characterization. Mr.. Evans
acting was recently described at some
length IN these columns and he may b,
dismissed by saying that he is one Of tht
most deservedly popular actors Of the com
pany. Miss Dubois who in real life is Mrs
selman, also had her best chance in tn,
! Buchanan play and achieved recognized
: success in the unsympstheuc role of tn,
gay widow
Miss Valentine has had no chance t,
shine this season as brightly as she dl,
when she played Wendy in Peter Pam
J, but she never misses the mark whether sd,
is playing big parts or just bits. She g.
a rare theatrical bird, an mgenue who al
ways characterizes. Mostly they pla!
II themselves and themselves only.
OF the other members Of the compan,
, young Mr.. Withers comes 10 mind He
y comparatively a novice and Is Vet chiefI
assigned 20 telepathic parts like butler
u and fOotmen. But when he gets a line IA
sends 1t over and Ia such Little Queen
had brief minute a tiny chance but Il
which his acting was SO good that IL vii
remain i'm the memory Of spectators afte
> almost all the rest Of the play has gon
= into memorial limbo. Mr.. Fox distinguishes
e himself in "A WomaRs Way" playing IN
10 reporter as a stage reporter is almost neve
Is played-something like real uewspape
