When Victor Moore stepped upon the
stage. or rather the screen OF Loew's Co.
lumbia Theater yesterday. he was greet
ed by an audience OF enthusiastic ad-
mirers who had either seen or heard OF
his delightful comedy portrayals of the
well-known character OF fiction. Chin

So great was the success OF Victor
Moore in the first production of "Chimm!e
Fadden" that the Lasky company Sc
cured his services for a long term of
years for a series OF stories founded on
the adventures Of the Bowery boy. who
was first made famous in the stories OF
E w Townsend. and who was after
wards seen upon the stage of the spoken
drama.
The public responded quickly to the
new type OF humor and credited Victor
Moore, whose fun is obtained by clever
" constructed situations and the meth

1t must be close to fifteen years
since William Gillette made his first
appearance as the great detective OF
Conan DoyIe's creation. in a melo-
drama built by the actor himself from
an episode which does not appear

conviction that the old play is not
only the father of them all. but also

with such unfailing ingenuity. or to

though II was written before that

The character of Sherlock Holmes &C.
cupies a singular place in modern myth

numberless parodies. limitations, and al
lusions, his fame has spread far beyond
the limits of mere fiction or drama. II
was fortunate that at just the right pc
riod a player appeared so well fitted as
William Gillette to fix the detectives
personality with precision in the public
eye, and the genius of the actor and
dramatist has through this single stroke
won title to lasting recognition.
Mr.. Gillette's portraiture last night was
drawn with the same fine keen lines; the
same delicate realism; the same exquis-

Whether or not Great Britain owes the

of the British cruiser Isis in Selling the

OF the Mexican coastline. According to
