that was woven into the entire plot
In the Interpretation of his particula
role Mr.. Williams was especially hap
Ply and we'll chosen. His portrayal O
the best type of the young Englishmal
OF today was done in a manner tina
showed thorough familiarity with tn,
part and admirable finish in style anC
manner. He won the audience bv the
candid, buoyant manner in which he
played a pleasing role.
No member of the cast was more
happily chosen for the role he played
than was Mr. Whit Smith, who ap-
peared as the Sheik. Admirably suit
ed to the part on account of his physi-
cal build and dark complexion, he
made an imposing figure clad in Arab
robes. In THE Bedouin Love Song.

All My Dreams Were Made of Gold,
I'd Give The World For You" his rich.
mellow baritone voice appeared 10
splendid advantage. In the chorus of
the latter song he was assisted by a
number of voices which composed a
pleasing male chorus.
In the difficult role of Albert Ar
leigh, the villain. Mr.. Joseph Bryan
won well deserved success. Posses
sed of splendid voice and carriage and
a mastery of his lines, he appeared to
excellent advantage in the important
role which he played. He scored a
great success and was at all times
thoroughly calm, deliberate and a
master of the situation in hand.
AS Will Hunter, another American
in the cast Dr. Louie Grubbs had
pleasing part. In the love-making
scenes his lines and acting were espe-
cially interesting and effective AS
one of the trio of Americans abroad
he made up an important member OF
the group, handling a minor role ef-
fectively. There aren't many men, not
even doctors, who can chase a pretty
girl around a table without having
their heads swim.
In the comedy role of Jason. valet,
DR.. c. P. Davis brought down the
house. The choice of Dr. Davis for
this particular role could not have
been eXcelled as he had ready at his
command every grimace, every comic
movement and expression that flavor
ed the part to suit the taste of the au-
dience. The few minutes when Jason
appeared on the stage were among the
liveliest in the entire play, and mem
bers of the audience caught Themselves
holding their sides when he made his
exit. Though only slight part, it was
done in irresistibly comic manner.
Two minor parts, those of Lord
Rowley and Dorkins, the butler, were
we'll played by Messrs. John A. Fort
and Harry Hawkins, who gave to these
parts all the excellence which they de-
manded.
No little effectiveness was added to
the mass scenes in the encounter be-
tween the Arabs and the whites by the
appearance of Messrs. Macon Dudley,
Leon Slappey, Ernest Poindexter, Wal
ter Page, Emmett Clewis, NJ L. Proc
tor. Nelson Hawkes. and Harry Haw-
kins, who played we'll these brief roles,
The marked distinctiveness and in
dividuality of the role of Lady Jane
Faye gave Mrs. Alice Morgan an es-
eciallv effective vehicle of express
ion. The sharp, sour, eXacting but
thoroughly human part of an austere
elderly English woman was given q
living portrayal in the admirable in
depreciation of the part by Mrs. Nor
gan. In the second scene her work
appeared in admirable contrast with
that of Colorado Pete, making a sat
isfying comedy role to balance that of
the untamed American. Her interpre-
tation of this part was exceptionally
sympathetic and effective
In her work in portraying the part
