LYRIC THEATRE

The virginian,'' owen wister's re-
narkable Western play, IS to be the
stock Company this week, opening to-
morrow afternoon, and the event Will
be a notable one for several reasons.
First among them is the fact that no
less than three members Of the orig
inaI cast will be seen in the play.
clifford Bruce, who followed Dustin
F'arnum in the title role. having play
ed it for over fourteen weeks, Will
play the title role here; Mark Kent,
locally well and most favorably known.
the original Trampas with Dustin Far
mum, Will be seen here this week as
Judge Henry, and Ben Southerd, who
was also member of the original
cast of THE Virginian," will play the
part of Trampas. With Miss Cleve-
land Miss Maitland, Miss Lewis, Mr..
Nannery, and the others of the Cleve-
land Company, the weeks Dresenta-
ton OF THE Virginian' will have a
presenting cast which will be far Su-
perfoy- to any that has ever been seen
in the play IN a, stock production,
and the theatre-goers of Bridgeport
viii enjoy the Offering as they have
never before
The stage environments of THE Vir-
ginian'' also Will receive every pos
sible attention from Karkunof &
the most notable stage offerings this
city has seen in a very long time.
Never since the advent of stock has
such a cast been assembled here, and
local theatre goers are indeed FORUM
ate in having the opportunity to wit
ness the play presented, at popular
prices, by a cast which would vie
strongly, in almost every instance,
with the cast which first gave this
play to the puSlic.
OF Mr.. Bruce's success in the title
role Of THE Virginian'' there can be
no doubt. For over a year he play
ed the part to admiring audiences in
all the largest cities of the country,
and won opinions which might be
priced by any man on the stage. Mr..
Kent, as Trampas, in the original
production, was one of the big fea-
lures of the play, and his assumption
OF the part of Judge Henry this week
will have the flavor of his wide exper-
fence Miss C1eveland's managers are
indeed fortunate in being able to Sc
cure his services for this production,
and the theatre-goers will reap all the
benefit
OF Mr.. Southard Miss Maitland, Mr..
Nannery, Miss Lewis, and the others
in the company, nothing but the most
favorable anticipations can be held.
They are all exceptionally clever art
lists and they will be certain to show
