Professional jealousy, the bette
noir of the theatrical managers and
the bane of existence of actors, is
strangely eliminated from the five
star combination Crane, Ross, Ar
buckle, Bingham and Taliaferro--ap-
pearing in THE New Henrietta,
booked for presentation at the
Grand next Tuesday night.
These five distinguished players live
together professionally in the utmost
amity In fact, when as sometimes
happens, one part goes better with a
certain audience than another, the
fortunate winner of the momentary
popularity receives congratulations
and good wishes from his conferes.
Occasionally it is "Bertie," the lamb,
who captures the hearts of the audi
ence; and again the Rev. Murray
Hilton" seiZeS on the riSibiht1eS and
scores "a tremendous hit; frequently
the Widow Opadyke," with her flash
ing beauty, her wonderful gowns and
her delicious laughter gains the IA
Vor of the spectators; and oftener 1t
is the delicate art of the little lady
playing Agnes that wins the hearts
and the tears of the persons sitting in
front. OF course, Mr.. Crane as odd
Nick always holds the first position
in the love of his audience, both by
reason of the character given him to
impersonate, which is the base of the
drama, and by the art which he has
acquired in his long years as a star.
The chickering's and jealOuSieS that
have marred many theatrical produc-
tions are entirely absent from the
company which Joseph Brooks has
put into Bronson Towards famous
old play, which has been cleverly re-
arranged by Winchell Smith and Vic
tor Mapes. This we'll known fact has
made much talk and gossip in the
atrical circles and wherever there is
a gathering of players in the clubs
and restaurants of New York, Boston,
Chicago and other cities, frequented
by the better sort of actors the con-
versation eventually turns on the de-
Hghtful life behind the scenes of THE
New Henrietta" The success of the
combination from the standpoint of
the box office has been as great as
the success of its social side on the
further side of the curtain, and these
facts combined make the organization
one of the most remarkable ever put
together credit to Mr.. Brooks and
to the men and women who are Civ
ing their talents and genius to the
performance.
