PROCTOR'S

An old-time melodrama in one act.
called THE Gray of the Dewn," is
presented at Proctor's for the first
half-week's program. That and the
posing act of Icons models are en-
titled to the headline positions on the
bill. The rest of the program is only
mediocre.
Will Carpenter does some clever
feats on roller skates, and gets away
successfully. Dolly Meden, in rag
time and opera. is new and entertain
ing. Ralph Cummings and company
and Josie and Willie Barrows have
Irritation acts, in which they ring in
q lot of comedy. Evans and Vicdoeq
are fair as comedians go, and Van
and Pierce, with q clever little act,
are not behind the rest of the bill.
The action of 1.-The Gray of, the
Dawn" takes place In the back room
of a saloon. a girl is waiting for her
sweetheart, whom she fears has
gotten into trouble with the police
When he does appear he tells her he
has stabbed another man and is seek
ing way to escape. She hides him,
and when the police appear she
throws them off the track and then,
to help the man she loves, she bor-
rows $500 from the saloonkeeper. Just
then the police come back and nab
him.
A dramatic scene follows, in which
the girl learns that the man she has
been helping to escape got into
trouble over another girl. She de-
nounces him and takes back the 5000.
She then accepts the sa1oonkeeper
when he proposes for the hundredth
time.

ORPHEUM.

The gripping story of Madam X
is again told by the Brownell-Stork
stock company at the Orpheum
Theatre this week. Mabel Brownell,
who has twice before appeared before
local audiences in the difficult role of
the erring wife driven from her home
by an unrelenting husband, finds IN
the leading part a character which
her emotional talents enable her to
portray with a vividness and realism
that entities her to the highest
tributes which can be paid to the
artist she surely is.
In the prologue. where she returns
to the home she left for another man,
called by the illness of her only child,
and is driven away by her husband,
Louis Floriot, Mrs. Brownell shows
the pleading, remorseful wife, torn
between conflicting emotions, with a
flnesse that is remarkable in con-
trast to the three following acts, in
which she is shown in the various
steps of degradation into which her
husbands act has thrown her.

he is at his best. In the last act,
when Floriot, depicted by Stork,
meets his wife, on trial for murder,
after an absence of twenty years, the
leading man, broken in spirit ana
tortured by remorse, is also q strik-
ing contrast to what he was on his
first appearance.

and Raymond Floriot, the son, who
grows into manhood and defends his

Irene Fenwick is cast as Ruth. She
is of the present-day school of young
actresses, whose work is characterized
by an manifestation that is empha-
sized to the point of affectation. This
is a paradox. but parodoxes usually

Robert Mantell scored a distinct
success at the Shubert Theatre last
night, where he opened a weeks en-
gagement by playing Cardinal Richie
lieu in Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton's
classic drama, "Richelieu."
As the aged prime minister OF
France, whose power is waning and
whose enemies are closing In on him,
Mr.. Mantell was at his very best, and
both looked and acted the part. True,
Mr., Mantell Is at the age where he
should portray Richelieu as the man
himself was. Richelieu, at his death
In 1912, was fifty-seven years of age.
Mr. Mantell will celebrate his sixtieth
birthday this year.
But the three score of years have
not in the least dimmed Mr.. Man
tells power as an actor of strong
dramatic roles. All who heard his
magnificent voice ring out in the
curse" speech in the fourth act last
night will agree that it has lost none
of its marvellous power.
In Richelieu, Mr. Mantell has but
little opportunity for acting of the
heroic order, his Richelieu being on
the quiet, fox-lil<e order rather than
the tragic style 1t was a splendid
Portrayal of a strong character, and

young and beautiful, and gave evil
dence last night that she possesses
great emotional power. despite the
fact that her role of Julia De Morte-

called on her to display but little
powerful acting.
Another member of the Mantell

tell, daughter of the star. Miss Man
tell Is n strikingly beautiful girl, with
masses of golden brown hair and big
dark eyes. She played the small role
of Marion De Lorme last night, and
was on the stage for but a few mo-
ments. In that time however, she
was able to show that she has I'M

surely be heard from as dramatic
star before she is many years older
She does not look to be over twenty

thing, by the way. that is rather UNI

Les Miserables." Victor Hugo's
immortal story Of the man whose
crushing burden of troubles started
from the theft of a loaf of bread,
is presented in-nine reels Of motion
pictures at the Lyric Theatre for the
first half Of the week. The pictures
were taken in France at considerable
expense. The cast includes many
noted French artists and a company
OF one hundred players.
A realistic picture is given of the
now classical trials of Jean Vatican,
from the petty theft for which he
eventually served nineteen years, to
his death. Some OF the famous scenes
admirably depicted include Valjeans
Nemesis, Javert, the overzealous de-
tective; the fatherly bishop. and
Marius, whose rescue through the
sewers of Paris is striking feature
OF the films.

ROBERT MANTELL, IN
"RICHELIEU," SCORES

As Adrian De Mauprat, sometimes
enemy and finally friend of Richelieus
and lover of Julie De Mortemar, Mr..
Lieber was at his very best last nights
and, with Mr.. Mantell and Miss Ham
per, was forced to respond to nus
merous curtain calls.
John Burke, as Baradas, the enemy
of Richelieu, who strives to take his
power away, scored q big SUCCESS ey
his capable acting, the same being
true of Walter Gibbs, as De Berins-
hen, and John Oswald Gibbs, as Cas-
ton, Duke of Orleans. A truly artis-
tic piece of work was that of Alfred
Hastings, as Joseph, the Capuchin
monk, companion of Richelieu Mr.
Hastings earned many laughs from
the audience by his quiet 1umor.
Francois, the faithful page to
Richelieu, as played by Guy Linds7
ley, left nothing to be desired, ha
being especially good in his scen9
with Richelieu, where he has failed
to perform a mission on which Riche%
lieu sent him. During this scene Mr.
Mantell delivers the famous I'm the
bright lexicon of youth there is no
such word as fail" speech. Others
who deserve mention are Frederick
Baldwin, as Huguet. spy in Riche-
lieus service; Miss Bessie Lenore, as

Last night was benefit performs

Earlier in this story you were told
that Mr. Mantell will celebrate his
sixtieth birthday this year. Maybe
you knew that, but here Is something
you probably do not know. And 1t is
the one thing in the world that Mr..
Mantell is the proudest about at the
present time. He is the father Of d
son less than n year old.
Mr. Mantell Is thoroughly wrapped
up i'll the baby, and would rather tallsA
about him than about his art and
work as an actor. AS for Mrs. Mans

of course-that baby is the only real

devoted to production of Shakes
