THE ACADEMY.
"a Fool There was."

"A Fool There Was" Robert Hiliiard' .
world-famous drama, suggested. As sill
theatergoers know. by Rudyard Kiplns' .
poem, The Vampire" drew a capacity
audience at the New Academy last
night. This marvellous play by Porter
Emerson Browne, as presented last night
az an absolute duplicate Of the one used
by Robert Hilliard for four years.
OF soul-stirring theme. intense situa-
ticns and gripping story. with thrills and
tears, from the most nerve-racking ten
sion to a flippant discourse on modern
conditions Of everyday life, 1t was a pres
entation first class in every respect by
an exceptional company, marking 1t as
one Of the strongest plays seen at this
playhouse for years.
The prominence Of the drama has made
the story too well known to require rep
etition. so suffice 1t to say that II Is
the weird story which Kipling's poem
tells. the cynical wisdom Of a better
man Of the world, the cry Of a lost soul,
and the attitude Of the world as it look
ed at the picture.
Much may be said Of the excellent por-
trayal by this exceptionally adequate
company. The cast is headed by Will
lam l. Gibson, a viril and magnetic &C.
tor. pleasantly remembered for his por-
trayal OF the Vtrgtnfan." In the play OF
the same name, and his Interpretation of
the role Of the husband L. throughout
with power and dramatic forcefulness.
Miss Elsie Jane Wilson. a young Aus
tralian actress, who is making her de-
but in America, has the principal fem
inine character Of THE Vampire"
Miss Wilson demonstrated her intimate
understanding Of this difncult role and
meets the requirements with Q fine dis
cretion and telling effect. Miss Agnes
Mapes. as the wife. is the ideal Of do
mesticity and wifely devotion. produc-
ing a picture Of pathos and sympathy,
with the result that in q very short time
she had established herself In the best
favor Of the audience. Rupert Julian
made q vivid impression a. the friend,
his dialogue being masterfully handled
with a resultant measure Of appreciation.
The child. Agatha Frederic, IL . lovable
little figure. adding bright spots to re-
l!eve the seriousness and depth Of the
drama. Others in the company include
Charles H. Ellwood, Walter B. woodall,
Edward Clare. Frank Faraday. Freder-
lex Nichols. Charles NcHenry. and Sid
ney Norcott.

THE GAYETY.
ssThe Social Maids.o

An excellent performance by q capable
company was witnessed by a capacity
house at the Gayety last evening. Joe
Hurtig's Social Maids are with US once
again. Probably this is one Of the best
staged shows on the Eastern wheel. and
ii goes without saying the cleverest.
George Stone Is a comedian who is
never at a loss to make the audience
laugh, and the entire time he was on
the stage he kept the house in an up
roar. Jennie Austin, a favorite Of this
town. Is the same captivating comedienne
as Of yore. Her song numbers always
require more than the ordinary amount
Of encores.
The plot of the play is nil. like all en-
tertainments Of this kind. but the thread
Of 1t. which can be grasped by the audi
ence. deals with the trials and tribula-
tions Of Ludwig Simmons. soft soap
manufacturer. whose wife has social
aspirations. and desires to marry of her
daughter to Gen Carambo. a revolution
ist. Marie, through the help Of Bum
Sykes and Bill Sawyer. two deserters
from the navy. manages to escape to the
L. S. battleship Chicago and meets her
sweetheart. Capt Jack Flynn.
During the evening a number Of songs
Of the whistly sort are rendered. mostly
by Miss Austin. her big numbers being
Fit Of hers was The Ghost Of the
Violin" All these songs had to be re-
sung a great number Of times. George
Stone made the hit of the show, and with
his nimbie feet danced in q manner that
reminds US of his namesake, Fred
Stone" Jimmie Connor in the roles of
Carambo and Capt. Flynn was excellent.
Eta Pillard assisted the entertainment
with a number Of dances, which were
more than appreciated. Wilbur Dobbs as
Ludwig Simmons was good as the hen
packed husband. and Josie Kline as his
wife played up to her part May Will
Jams and Jack Pillard rounded out the
cast
