BijOu-..The sword Of the king"
Lubin-Vaudcyillc.

Cecil Spooncr at Her Best.
After having seen Cecil Spooner,s
performance last night in "Ihe sword
OF the King" 1t is easy to credit her
statement that this is her last season
in popular priced playhouses.. and II is
hard to understand why she has given
SO much of her acting life to what
might Big called soubrette parts For
while tile company, as whole, ala
not altogether measure up to the re-
quirements OF the piece, Miss Spoonef
gave a most finished and artistic per-
Torrance OF perfectly straight role.
and one that calls for a great deal
more ability than is necessary. either
the leading part in the average melo-
drama.
1t was apparent that the audience
did not altogether care for the play.
1t is far cry from modern meio-
drama laid in the Middle West to a
straight play Of the ruffling days when
Bloody Jeffreys was hanging every
unfortunate hailed before him. and
Kinks Lambs were saving him great
deal OF trouble by swinging UP hun
dreds without Judge or Jury. when
the Stuart was tottering on his throne,
and William of Orange was helping
him TO totter. and the house was not
enthusiastic, to say the least. Never
theless. the piece was well staged, ana,
for the most part fairly well played.
Some of the company were not easy
In their lines, but IL was their first
performance. and much must be for
given
Philip Leigh. recruit from musical
comedy. gave an excellent performances
of French gentleman adventurer, and
Joseph Manning was fairly good as
William OF Orange. but Cecil Spooner
was wholly delightful as a charming
and thoroughly fascinating combina-
ton of "a Lady of Quality" Dorothy
Vernon" and the heroine OF When
Knighthood was In Flower with the
virtues of all of them and none OF
their faults AS timid girl or as q
swashbuckling boy. she was most at
tractive and her work was of a high
order
The play will be repeated tonight
and Saturday matinee and night The
Fortunes OF Betty will be put on.

this afternoon. beginning at o'clock
between McGuire's and John Marshall

Both teams are now in prime con-
dftion. and a close and exciting game
is expected The prep. school teams
are much Disconnected over what they
term the lack of support on the part
drawn large crowds, despite the fact
ihat they are interesting aud hard
fought
While it is admitted that John Mar
shall has had little the best of the
arguments up to the present time, 1t
is held that the other teams know
something OF the game, and are capable
of giving a good account of them
selves The public has simply Jagged
and those, composing the teams feel
that they have not been sufficiently
encouraged. Indications now point to
a large crowd this afternoon, however,
and it seems certain that little COM
plant can be forthcoming after the
game.
McGuire's team reports continual
hard practice and much Improvement
If this be true the game should be
very close, and those who have wit
assured that the material Is on
hand for a good team.
Over at the High School the men
arc confident that they can repeat their
previous performances, and are posi-
< tive of victory However, surprises
have been sprung before, and the
