sessing good, honest sense of right
and wrong. The company is a strong
pne, mostly imported, the members be-
Ing picked from the leading theatres
of Edinburgh and Glasgow. This play
was seen at the Haymarl1et theatre in
London for two years. six months at
the Princess theatre. Chicago. and n

= Louis. To the generality per-
haps Mr.. Blackstone is not well
known, but he nevertheless enjoys a
fame honestly achieved by his apt por-
trayal of low comedy roles in Shake
spearian plays. For many years Mr..
Blackstone has been associated with
Mr.. Sothern and he is considered by
many critics to be the best actor Of
his type on the American stage His
unctuous humor as a Shakespearian
clown has seldom been equaled and
where player of less ability would
merely prove tiresome, Mr.. Buck
stone has had the satisfaction of
knowing that his comedy vastly en-
tertained. 1t is extremely difficult to
essay humorous role that was de-
signed to please audiences of an
earlier time and in spite Of that handi-
cap make the part tickle the risibili-
ties of jaded and blase theatregoer
of today. Mr.. Blackstone accom-
plished the feat, not once, but many
times and the memory of his Touch
stone still evokes a smile. Although
a veteran in his profession, it is hoped
that Mr.. Blackstone will be spared to
continue his unique career for some
time yet. There are not many capa-
bic Shakespearian actors on the
boards today and when one dies the
vacancy is not filled again.
The wonderful strides being made
by moving pictures continue to amaze
| observers of this form of amusement.
Nothing seems too ambitious now for
the manufacturers Of moving pictures
to attempt and their business is rapid
ly being put on a more dignified
plane. Some of the greatest names
of the stage and in the literary world
have already been associated with the
making of motion pictures and new
ones are added almost daily. E. Phil
lips Oppenheim, an author whose
brillancy has won him the widest
recognition, has recently been engaged
by moving picture firm to write
scenarios. There is probably no
writer of the present day who can
produce more entertaining fiction
than +. Phillips Oppenheim offers his
readers. AS writer of moving pic
ture scenarios he ought to be great
success.
