MINERS

The Watson sisters, Fanny and
Kitty, are the shining lights of the
two-act musical farce, Morocco

week. They are well known in New

previous occasions, but their abilities

The show Is composed principally
of comedy, and the rest of the enter

Fanny Watson live up to their repu-

ordinary, although typical of a bur-

BY ADELrNE oARRIcK WELLS.

Seven solid minutes of applause
and ten curtain calls at the end of
the third act of Monckton Hoffe's
'Panthea" at the shubert Theatre
last night attested to the impression
made by Madame Petrova in the title
role.
And never was actress more deserv-
ing of a tribute. Nine Petrova is an
artist. Her work, for the most part.
is characterized by deep stiffness
that suggests a wealth OF hidden
force. And when, in her big third
act, this force Is permitted to come to
the surface, Madame Petrova becomes
magnificent. piling word upon word
and gesture upon gesture with a ten
sity that almost brings a rapt audi
ence to its feet.
One wonders where she obtained her
sense of histrionic values. 1t seems
as Ii her part had been boiled down
many times and the superfiu ties
SKINNED off until at last only the real
substance was left in all its purity.
Madame Petrova can convey more
with one lift of her eyebrows than the
average aspirant for theatrical honors
can hope TO mean in "a ten-minute tale
of woe.
She will do great things, will this
Madame Petroya but they'll be
sombre things always. Her eyes. her
lines, her hair, even the tilt of her
high-held chin, suggest the forces
that make for tragedy. Seeing
Madame Petrova in comedy would be
like watching the Goddess of
laugh, but inside of one there would
be n hurt.
As to "Panthea": Folks there were
in the audience last night who gasped
at some of the ideas the play ex-
plotted. until Madame Petrovas act
ing made them forget whether they
approved or not.
"Panthea" was a beautiful political
refugee. who escaped from her cap
tors when the ship on which she was
being taken to Russia was wrecked
off the coast of Northumberland,
England. Cold, and wet and hungry,
she was taken to the home of an
English family, where she met Gerard
Mordaunt.
Here Monckton Hoffe has sketcheA
with satirical sureness the absurdities
that result from England's sons and
daughters of a certain rank having
been taught always to think and act
and talk along conventional
English-lines. The Mordaunts
feed and shelter the refugee.
not from humane impulse, but be-
cause 1t is quite the thing to do. 1t
is always the thing to do which
animates them; all but Gerard. whom
the process OF evolution seems to
have reverted to an original type.
Gerard's methods of thought are
simple. direct. and when he meets
Panthea. whose own simplicity and
directness are as free from conven-
tional drapings as mother Ewes
| might have been. 1t seems inevitable
that they two shall flee together from
the gates of their prisons.
