THE DRAMA
Pinero'S "ThunderboIt" Acted by
the Drama Players.

night by the Drama PLAYERS. II viii he

Inee. only year ago this play of Pinero's
had it's first American production at the
New Theatre. The Drama Players dealt
with it quite as effectively as did the com
panv further uptown IN some respects
they acted It better than their pre-
docessors. and the whole effect OF
their performance is stronger and
has more gripping power. The astonishing
circumstance of the evening was the Slim
ness Of the attendance. Tho floor Of the
house was we'll filed. but elsewhere nearly
all the seats We're unoccupied. That fact
does not speak we'll for New York's alleged
interest I'm good acting and good plays Here
is ono Of tho masterpieces of the foremost
English-writing dramatist Of our time and
a masterpiece admirably performed. Inc
theatre should have been crowded on Such
an occasion. The variety shows and must
cal pieces near by were exhibited 10 large
audiences but New York perhaps cannot
stand very much good acting at one time
at connecting theatres The Drama Players
deserve great credit for their first night $
work, Mr. Herbert Kelley and Mr.. Don
add Robertson. Mr.. Edward Emery and Mr..
Sheldon Lewis particularly. Mr.. Kelsey
had the role first played here by Mr.. Louis
Calvert-James Mortimore. Mr.. Robertson
had the part of Thaddeus Mortimore, first
played here by Nj \. T.. Arson. Mr. Rob
ertson gave 10 his part a tenderness and
delcacy of perception which were lacking
i'm Mr.. Ansors Interpretation Of the part
excellent as that Interpretation was in other
respects. Eftic Shannon was Phyllis, the
destroyer of the defunct Mortimore's will
Mis-; Greuyillc was as brilliant and cold
a. need De. Miss lledwig Reicher was
very good as Helen Thornhil, but her
acting continues to be- marrcd for the
English suoakng stage 10y the strong Ger
man accent and intonatious of her speech.
This is pity for Hiss Recher would
give far more satisfaction if rcsolutely she
wore to conuuer these defects. The Drama
Players performance OF Pnero's striking
work deserves most liberal patronag" by
the theatre Going public. A. ".
