Henry w. Savage's inspiring pro-
ductton of "Everywoman" may be
distinctly regarded as Of the most
important offerings OF the dramatic
year. This remarkable play, which
returns here to the 6hubert Theatre
the coming week, Is notable for three
distinct reasons.
First, because It Is one OF the few
recent works for the stage that pos
sesses genuine literary value, and,
while modern in spirit and story.
belongs to the domain OF romantic
poetry. Second, It Involves a scenic
production of the most elaborate and
lavish description that fills the eye
with beauty and strongly moves the
Imagination. Third, 1t furnishes a
striking exemplihcation Of the art Of
acting al its best
Newark theatre-goers are probably
well aware of the fact that Every
woman" is a modernization Of the
ancient morality play of the fifteenth
century, but SO deftly has the author
of "Everywoman'' built his drama
that it is as essentially up-to-1ate
and as fascinating, because of the
novelty Of It's t~reatufent. as If 1t owed
no suggestion or inspiration to the
archaic play Of the primitive days of
the drama.
Carried Along by Exalted Feeling.
The spectator is carried along
through tho five oanticles into which
the story is divided. on a current of
pure and high feeling, and the au-
thor reads a most wholesome lesson
TO a generation much tempted by
cynicism to ignore the eternal lesson
that love is the pride aud goal of
life.
Although the characters are all
symbolic distractions of virtues and
vices, they are concrete reproduce
lions of the salient traits of real men
and women of today.
"Everywoman," as portrayed by
the author, is the living epitome of
all that Is fascinating III essential
womanhood. She is first disclosed In
her home surrounded by her hand
maidens, Beauty, Youth and Mod
esty, who set forth with her on ner
pilgrimage in quest of love. She
ignores Truth and listens to the voice
Of Flattery.
Every Woman a Born Actress.
1t is an old and trite saying that
every. woman is a born actress. What
more natural than that Every
woman should imagine that love
would be waiting for her la the play
houses of the great city
Entering the portals OF q theatre
abe Is % separated from Modesty.
She encounters Passion, a masked
actor, with a voice of velvet quality.
She discovers that Passion is not
love. Then after she has lost the
companionship of Beauty she consorts
with Wealth. He, too, spurns her,
when Youth dies. Then it is that
she learns that. forsaken by her three
hand-maidens. she Is loved by nobody.
At last she listens to the voice of
Truth, who guides her back to her
home, where she finds that true love
has been waiting for her during all
the years of her fruitless and I'M
happy search. The intense humanity
of this play rs revealed ny the late
Iamented Walter Browne in strong,
vigorous, direct language, makes it a
work of compelling interest from the
rise to the fall of the curtain, and
once seer will never vanish from the
memory.
Company Number $50 Persons.
Manager Savage sends here the
strongest company that has yet APP
peared in the play, numbering over
loo persons. Rarely has such an en-
semble, in which each individual
seems to be fitted into his role with
the incest discrimination, been
brought together.
Miriam Clements, who fills the title
role: Frederic De Belleville, who as
Wealth furnishes a finished study OF
~sensualism; Eugene Ormonde, who is
Immensely impressive as Nobody, a
role that he embodies with fine in
~tellectual force; Lea Leland, who
suggests Vice with vivid skill of a
true artist, and Marie Wainwright,
who lends the dignity of her strong
personality to the character of Truth,
are all ideally fitted for the parts
they portray. The earnestness and
sincerity of the whole production is
possibly the keynote of its success.
Scenically the production of EVERY.
woman has never been ex.elled. The
five canticles Nare set in picture Of
rare loveliness and unique device.
Newark may congratulate itself
upon the privilege OF again seeing
this much talked-of play, when the
company is still of superior grade
n the scenery has been untarnished
