OLYMPIC PARK

Full OF dash and vim, paul Jones"
won his way into the hearts OF the
audience at Olympic Park Opera
House last night and made decided
hit as a first night exhibition. The
opera, which Is written by III, b.
Farnie, with music by Planauette, OF
Chimes of Normandy fame, is filled
with sparkling humor and witty lines.
It is as tuneful, too, as it Is amusing,
and full of ginger. The play last
night, despite it's being q first night
performances, was presented with all
the smoothness and precision of q
well with the audience. The humor
was spontaneous, and provoked much
merriment.
The scenes of the play are espe-
cially attractive, all three having the
sea as background. The first shows
the harbor of ST. Malo, France; the
second, a chateaux on the bay, and
the third. the governors palace on the
Isle of Estrella, near Mosquito Hook.
The story of the play is based on
a love attachment between Paul
Jones, a poor, wandering sailor boy,
and Yvonne, niece of Bieoquet, a ship
builder. Bicoquet wants the niece to
marry Ruhno, q Spanish naval Of
HIti. \ Ht utiNiS aAtCCr W lCt dui
Jones marry the niece, however, when
he presents a huge sum of money.
Jones, with several others, ships
aboard a privateer and becomes sue
cessful as a pirate, He returns with
in a minute of the allotted time set
with the money and riches and takes
off his bride, and escapes several
times from traps set for him by
Rutino, his jealous rival,
The two Edwards are seen Il, the
leading roles of the play. Sara Nd
wards portrays the title role and
Blanche Edwards interprets the part
of Tvonne
Sara Edwards Yves especially good
as Paul Jones. she played the part
with a vim and a dash that were
and merry manner were displayed 10
just the right degree and went over
well. She received much weli-de-
served applause.
Blanche Edwards was In good voice
and looked very coy In her various
stunning gowns. In her love scenes
with her namesake she was espe-
eially good. James MeElhern, as an
old smuggler and second to Paul
Jones and Harlan Briggs, as his as
sistants were very good in the
comedy roles. Both these characters
provoked much amusement. Briggs
took only secondary part, but ac-
quilted himself more than we'll. He
Is displaying a talent that promises
to bring him to the front ranks Of
the Park company.
John c. Thomas, the versatile one,
again won hundreds of mere friends
for himself last night. Last week
he took the part of a merry, happy
go-luclxy gondolier. In that he was
perfect. This week he has the part
of Bicoquet, an eccentric, decrepit
old man. in love with a young dar-
ling. He displayed his versatility by
playing the old man, as well as he
did the young gendolier. He is a
finished opera star, and deserves
much credit for the success the
Park company is enjoying.
Gustav Blum, as the Spanish gov
ernor, was very good. He is a new
conner and made a very favorable i'm
preston. Edna Remple and Hattie
Arnold both acquitted themselves in
q satisfactory manner, and the
chorus, too, was in good voice.

up long enough last night TO say that
she was "De-e-lighted" with the re-

Miss Estelie's popularity. which was
gained when she was a member Of
the Brownell-Stork stock company at
the Orphoum Theatre, was made evil
dent yesterday, when hundreds stood
in line for almost an hour waiting to
get tickets.
That this was her first plunge into
the realms of vaudeville was con-
fessed by the little actress, and she
also stated that in the little time that
she had been in the work she believed
she would much rather stay in the
ranks of the legitimate, as the dra-
matte work appeals TO her more.
Il am so glad that the people OF
Newark haven't forgotten me-" ex-
claimed Miss Estelle, for you know
that it makes you feel like working
lust so much harder when YOU see
that your efforts are appreciated and
those you have attempted to amnse
and please have remembered you.

eeption that / have received and my
many friends have almost smothered
me with flowers"

struck the fancy Of the audience was
evident, for the little faverite and her
company We're compelled to respond
to numerous eneores.
