William Fa'v,ersham
in " The Hawk, " Is
Academy Offering

The modern drama has again claim
ed Mr. william Faversham, and the
distinguished actor will bring the
Hawk" a love romance of modern days,
To TIE Academy OF Music Tor two days
this week next Friday and Saturday.
The play was written by Francis de
Croisset. translated by Marie Zane
Taylor and adapted and staged by Mr..
Faversham. On its production The
: Hawk" ran for q year at the Souvel
Amoigu. Paris. and Mr.. Favershana's
production of the play enjoyed a like
success in New York
1t Is the polished, virile, yet ro-
mantle man of the world that Mr.. Fa-
vershan reveals to US in this latest
creation 1t is not an unfamiliar phase
of his art. but one which he has not
used for several seasons. Mr.. Faver-
sham displays his talents improved de-
veloped and made finer by his Shake
spearean experience. and he still
holds the place he has long been given
as a player unique in his delineation
( OF intricate modern characters
THE Hawk" Is play in which the
dialogue and situations both hold i'm
/ portant place. The situations are IN
: usual for French play in that they
work out to a most unexpected con-
olusion- The dialogue frames the ac-
ton In brilliant setting. recalling the
adeprness of Osca. Wilde IN epigram.
i, Dasetta. The Hawk" is Hunga-
rian Of good family, but slender re-
sources He deeply loves his wife. This
devotion causes him to try and crafty
her eXtravagant tastes and to gain the
money he becomes a card sharp, and his
wife aids him in the work, A young
diplomat falls In love with the wife
and wins her affection In turn. The
| diplomat discovers her working the
| cards. taxes her with IL. wins a con-
/ fession aud promise Of reform. The
wife seeks TO induce her husband to
! give up gambling, and Is so insistent
she awakens hts suspicious and he
forces a confession that she loves an
other. There IS scene OF a txemen-
, dous force at the end Of which the bus-
! band leaves the two together In time
| the wife decides TO be divorced and to
do so must gain the consent Of her hus-
/ band He il found. reformed OF his
| gambling ways, as his incentive for
gain is gone. but wrecked by the use
/ of morphine and without money or
fGnesna
Husband and wife meet, and in a
scene which gains the tribute Of tears
the wife answers the call OF the ma
ternal instinct inherent in all woman
| kind. She decides that the great love
| this man has given her Is something
to he priced beyond all things and to-
| gether they start forth TO seek the
goodness of life.
| Mr.. Faversham has surrounded HIM
selr with an excellent company, which
Includes Arleen HacNerr- Albert Ysos-
coe. Grace Henderson. A S. Byron.
Elise Oldham. Edwin Cushnan. Magan
Paxton, Herbert Belrnore and others.
Tho settings were designed ana
painted by Joseph Harker, OF London,
and he has produced some beautiful
and effective scenes. In fact. from
beginning to end The Hawk" gtves
