GREAT DIVIDE FRIDAY
Edward Mordant and Miss Mabel

Head Production.

The Winnipeg Free Press is enthus-
iastic over The Great Divide, which is
playing there this week and will be at
the Fargo operahouse Friday evening
of this week. 1t says:
Beyond question The Great Divide
fs powerful and most fascinating
play It is STYLED melodrama which is
to say that 1t is life presented in ex-
aggerated and slightly more lurid tints
than Is experienced in mans avera ge
commonplace existence but which none
the less one knows is lived by many
men and women. Murders have been
committed for the sake Of women:
outrages have been committed on
women by brutal men degenerates
and blackguards have been turned
from their evil and criminal ways by
love of or for pure woman. Such
circumstances make the melodrama Of
life, and such a play is The Great
Divide. There is no beating about
the bush no waiting for the interest
to grow. We jump right into mid
die of it; our interest is seized five
minutes after the curtain rises. and
1t never lags or relaxes until the final
word of the last act. 1t is a play
which makes one eager to get the in
tervals over.
It Is hardly necessary to give des-
cription of the plot of this fine play,
for 1t was here little more than a year
ago when 1t was seen by most theatre
goers. Speaking of 1t generally, il

as good as the old one Happily the
roles of Stephen Client and Ruth Jor-
, dan are still in the very capable hands
of Edwin Mordant and Miss Mabel
Brownell, respectively. If anything
| the latter has somewhat improved her
reading. She was previously inclined
to be little hysterical, but this is
now less evident with the result that
she has gained in force. Miss Brown
ell should guard against a propensity
to somewhat 10 yer her voice in the
more intense moments thereby making
1t difficult for those seated at dis
tance to hear what she is saying. Mr.
Mordants repeats his most powerful
portrayal of the part of the drunken

fired by the love of good woman and
who, having worked out his salvation

Strong as is the second act. this is
unduestionably the stronger and one
of the strongest in the history of the
American drama In the SECOND act,
on plateau in the Cordilleras noun
tains both actors rise to considerable
heights. and it was here that Miss
Brownell while showing less hysteria
gave greater exhibition Of
emotional acting than on her previous
appearance. Mr.. Mordant's great
moment, in which his wife having left
him. he stands full back to the aud
fence his head sunk in his arms. his
body shaken with dry sobs. was one
of the finest bits of acting in the
whole piece and the talented actor
played 1t for all it was worth. Both
actor and actress came in for loud and
long contained plaudits and ench is to
be congratulated on a very fine bit of
work.
AS already stated the support on the
present occasion is quite as ADEQUATE
as when the play was last seen in
Winnipeg. Miss Virginia Berry, a
charming little ingenue was greatly
liked in her presentation of Polly
Jordan. Others deserving mention are
Daniel Pennell, Allan Leiber and
Frank Willard. The sets are as usual
most artistic, the stage managing be-
ing what one would expect from
Henry Miller, who sends tho produc-
tion here.
