There are very few successful in
terpreters of Indian characters,
owing to the fact that a great many
actors who aspire to create a sue
cessful Indian role at positively and
painfully ignorant of even the
vaguest points of the Indians life.
Robert Edeson has been the most
successful actor in this line Of char
acters, and so true have been his i'm
presentations that there are people
who have witnessed his performance
of "Strongheart'' and Where the
Trail Divides" that cannot be con-
WINGED that he is not a full blooded
| Indian. ,
| When Mr.. Edeson undertook the
portrayal of Indians, he went among
them and studied them, lived their
| lives, ate their bread and smoked
their pipes with them and acquired
their languages. AS n natural re-
suit, when he appeared before his
auditors in an Indian role, he lived
over the life of some red man who i'm
pressed him as the ideal of what a
man of that type should be-
In Where the Trail Divides,
Klint & Gazzolo's production which
| is given this week at the New Males
| tic Theatre, commencing tonight, Mr..
Edeson has given vent to his inner
most feelings in behalf of the Ameri-
| can Indian. He gives a new and
| true side to a much-maligned race
of people who have never had a
chance from the day the white man
placed his foot upon the American
continent.
Georgette, the youngest of the five
De VOLTS, of musical comedy fame,
is one of the chief attractions this
week at Proctor's. The little actress
has inherited q full share of the his
trionic genius which enchanted the
public for years. She Is dainty and
handsome. Her forte is character
work.
Mag Haggerty's Father" a rollick-
ing funny sketch, in which Thomas

An astounding mystery act by
Onaip is one of the great attrac-
| tions at william Fox's Washington
| Theatre. Among the feats per-
formed by Onaip, who is described
| as the great Hindu mystifer," is
| the playing on a piano which is sus-
| pended and gyrates, tilted in all sorts
| of angles.
Henry Miller will appear at the
| Newark tonight in THE Rainbow
which was written for Mr.. Miller by
| Augustus E. Thomas. Although ar
| Englshman by birth, Mr.. Miller has
| been identified with the American
stage since his boyhood.
| within the Law" comes here fol-
] another week at the Shubert. 1t is

now playing at the Manhattan The
| atre, New York.
