~The Henrietta

Is there a playgoer who does not
look back on some one nerformance
as thing apart from any other ex-
perience of the theater2 We are in
clined to think not Twenty- seven
Years ago ii was our good fortune to
see William II. Crane and Stuart Rob-
son In Bronson Howard's exniiaratiny
comedy, The Henrietta" This roman
~tlc story of American life was written
for these beloved comedians, and the
reVefed Union Square Theater New
York city WAS the scene of the first
production, and, for those days, II had
a most wonderful run of success. All
the leading roles of the piece were in

and convincing personality. and not
a moment of action nor word OF tia-
logue failed in delivering the intention
Of the author We have seen a great
many actors in a great many plays
since then, but that performance stands
out above them all, The Impression
of that fine performance has never
left as. This was the one and only
time we were ever completely pos
sessed ANA played upon and satisfied
by any combination OF dramatist and
actor.
II is odd about plays No picture
or poem gives one an impression so
preted by unusual players AS was
well said by another: The best pic
lures and poems have Il way of turn
ing to paint and words in certain
moods they persist formally and may
be looked at again and again. but we
must always call up something wtthil
us. and act upon them. to get he most
out OF them" But the performance Of
a play. where actor and author are in
genial accord, acts upon us, and thrusts
itself deeper into the texture OF the
spirit that any other sort of art. The
performance passes. but the memory
remains.
The announcement of an all-star re-
vival OF this dramatic jewel at the
Acadamy of Music, February Is and
10, with a matinee on Saturday, is like
letter from home and rouses the
heart with unusual interest in theater
happenings. Our old friend and most
beloved actor. William II. Crane. is
