''Pillars Of Society,"
| Mrs. Minnie Madden Fiske will
next appear in Ibsen g "Pillars of So
cietyo Preliminary engagements for
this company show that the same high
! standard which has always character
lied the organization will he main
tanned. The important part of Consul
Bernick, product Of Ibsen's creative
genius that has caused unlimited spec
ulation, will be intrusted TO that splen
did actor, Holbrook Bliun. The prom
Use which he gave after his perform
ances in "The First Born 'EThe Cat
and the Cherub," and as Napoleon in
"Mme. Sans-Gene, made the lovers Of
the American stage realize that after
all the old school of acting, however
great. could scarcely be equaled by
that of the new. But when his crea:.
tion of Jim Platt, the regenerated Jail
bird of 'Salvation Nell" was re-
vealed the critics maintained that no
man had given better acting to the
public. Another man who will add
great strength to the cast Will be Shell
don Lewis. He is a product Of Angus
tin Daly's company and supported Ada
Rehan as Oliver in GAS You Like IT,
and Joseph Surface in 1.-The. School for
Scandal" He was the leading man of
the players at Potter Palmer's subsi-
died New Theater in Chicago, and
while there created the part Of "Marse
Covington' in George AIDES one act
play of that title. He was the Italian
father in GAN Englishman Home, -
and made strong personal success as
Hart, the money lender in the recent
production of "Idols.'
Taste Of Real Dramatics.
New York is getting taste of real
dramatics although one is sorry to say
that the patronage cannot compare
with that of "Madame x, Z" "Where
There's A Will'' and other salacious
productions. Tonight Sothern and
Miss Marlowe ended their fortnight s
enga cement in Shakespearean reyivals
at the AcadaemY of Music. The two
vehicles by which they chose to carry
their talent were "The Merchant of
Venice" and "Romeo and Juliet" " The
Ben Greet PLAYERS are now In the sec
ond week Of their ten weeks engage
ment at the Garden theater. The bill
at the regular performances is "She
Stoops to Conquer with special matt
nees of Fifteenth Century morality
play called Everyman;" "The Pal
ace of Truth, - CDR. Faustus, z" won
der-Book Plays,' and Bulwer-Lytton s
a" Money! Mr.. Greet plays the part
of "Tony Lumpkin" in ''She Stoops
TO Conquer and as roistering coun"
try squire he is superbly funny.
Impersonates Dickens Characters.
Bansby Williams, the English actor,
who made a unique reputation In his
impersonation of characters from
Charles Dickens novels, is at
the American Music Hall and
his fame, l should say, is well
founded. Speaking of his experiences,
Mr.. Williams said TO me. "My life
has been full of condolences. So far as
7 know l am the only impersonator of
Dickens characters. ] was born in the
same year that Dickens died-1S70, and
it may be fanciful, but I think l was
influenced by the universal mourning.
Quite naturally Dickens is my favorite
author and I have lived over and over
the scenes in David Copperfeld' and
looked into all those queer places in
London that the author was so fond of
visiting y
''Children Of Destiny"
"Cbildren OF Destiny is settled
down for a long run apparently. From
the very first night it drew well and,
aside from the dramatic points of the
story, it has a fine supporting cast.
The story tells of girl who finds a
blot upon her parentage during her
engagement She becomes a woman
Of the street after the man to whom
she was engaged had cast her off. She
goes TO Monte Carlo and falls in love
with youthful chap who is drown
