Mr.. Sothern and Miss MarIowe have
placed the American public under obli-
cations to them for their efforts to pre-
sent Shakespearsan drama in an artistic
ana worthy setting. Their revival OF

at Albert ChevaHer IN his capacity Of
star in "DadSy Dufard," and the verdict
IS most favorable. Chevalier has ap-
peared in drama in England, but never
