Jim, The Penman.r

Never has Norfolk had the priv.
lege of entertaining so distinguished
party of stage celebrities as came
to the Auditorium last night In the
three-star cast presenting "Jim, the
Penman." Perhaps II might be more
appropriate to say never was Norfolk
entertained by more distinguished
company. for the visitors did all the
entertaining needed
Florence Roberts, Thurlow Bergen
and Theodore Roberts, supported by
an excellent cast, gave a performance
OF highest order and one that will
long be remembered by Norfolk the
atergoers as notable event in this
city's theatrical history When the
curtain rose the Auditorium was pref
ty well filled with representative
audience which enjoyed every mo-.
ment OF this intensely interesting old
detective story.
The three stars all gave fascinating
interpretations to their roles. Thur
low Bergen, handsome man that he is,
was superb as Jim, the Penman,"
and the audience gave him an ovation
at the end OF the third act. Miss
Roberts, whose fame has been built
upon her cleverness as an emotional
actress, thoroughly lived up to her
great reputation in the character OF
Mrs. Ralston. She was n perfectly
natural wife and mother and much uf
the beauty OF her acting lay in the
fact that she did not, at any point,
overdo the emotional scenes which In
the hands OF a less capable person
might easily have been spoiled by too
much sobbing. Her tears came Just
right and were shut off Just at the
right time to save the situation.
Theodore Roberts, who Is a cousin of
Florence Roberts and whose fame
stands out foremost on the American
stage today as perhaps the greatest
character actor we have in this coun-
try, made n great deal out OF the COM
paratively limited possibilities offered
by the role of Baron fairfield. The
jerks of his arm and the quick, nerv-
Gus movements of his body, together
with the poise of the head all went
to make character Interpretation
that was in itself immense. No criti-
cism OF the play would be complete
without tribute to the cleverness of
Frank Denithorne as Capt. Redwood,
the English detective. He was equal
to the occasion in every situation.
Isaac Dillon as George Ralston, the
brother of the bride, was a remark
ably sincere performer in his role.
1t was refreshing to see a real play
again--a play of genuine heart-inter-
est up to the last moment which did
not depend upon puns and music
and pretty girls for its success. There
can be no discount on Jim, the Pen
man" as a great play and this all-star
revival twenty-five years after the
piece first thrilled two continents
must be set down as one Of the finest
attractions that has yet been seen in
Norfolk.

McManigal Story on Witness Stand

Las Angeles, Nov. 11.-Hearing of a
civil suit before Judge Walter Bord-
we'll supplanted the Mcnamara muir
der trial at today's brief session Of
court
Relieved of the tedium Of jury get
ting, opposing counsel toiled steadily
most of the day at getting into shape
the enormous amount Of evidence
which must be offered to establish the
guilt or innocence of James B. Nc
Namara. Attorney Clarence Darrow
spent most of the morning talking
with James B. Mcnamara and his
brother John ]. Mcnamara, secretary
of the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers.
This conference is becoming Gus
tomary on Saturdays, the prisoners
going over all the evidence of the
week with some one of their attorneys
and learning of the plans for the week
to come in so far as they are outlined.

ness stand will contain many details
not included in the statement hereto
fore published as his so-called con
fession" and much Of himself.
District Attorney John d. Freder'
icks confirmed today statements made
previously by some Of his subordin'
ates that the state intends taking ad-
vantage of the California law provid'
ing for two extra jurors who may be
used to replace any incapitated. 1T
is possible that If the jury appears
unusually healthy this may not be
DONE" he said, "but 1t is the probable
course.
The defense, holding that to have
fourteen Jurors is equivalent to cut
ting OF two peremptory challenges
probably will oppose this plan, the
constitutionality of which has not
been tested in this state.
