As a matter of fact the members of the company use every effort to avert applause before tho end of the play. To them, holding their authors in breathless attention until the inevitable ovation at the end of the play, is the greatest tri- umph they can achieve. The specta- cle of an absolutely motionless and perfectly quiet audience for "The Servant in the House. has been wit messed in every big city ill the Uni ted States. In it's crit eism of the first performance in San Francisco, The San Francisco Examiner called attention to this unusual feature A first night audience at the Van Ness theater the critic said, following the play With breathless interest. and at the finish-for the last act is the most acutely dramatic of all-there was no hurrying with wraps-no noise of shuffling feet When came the fall of the curtain, there follow ed an outburst of applause which lasted until the stage was disclosed again with the acting cast lowing it's doncerted acknowledgements. And then the curtain went up again and Chas. Ram Kennedy, the author, came down to the footlights. Very briefly, very heartily, he thanked San Francisco for it's welcome. It is not often that such a demonstration comes at the conclusion of any play, You may go season after season to the theater without finding 1t dupli- cated. Certainly you can go season after season without seeing so en- tirely compelling a play as "The Ser want in the. House." or cast of players so adequate 1o the drama S demands.
