BeIasco-E. III. sothern.

There are three reasons above all why
the population of this city should flock
to see Sothern in IF / Were King" at
the Bealsco this week. First and fore
most perhaps because II is positively the
last visit Of the most DISTINGUISHED Amer
lean actor TO this city. Secondly. because
he is giving his entire share Of the gross
receipts to charity. to be precise, TO the
British Red Cross. to which he has al
ready shown much practical sympathy
during the past season, and, thirdly, be-
cause the entertainment to be provided is
par excellence, superior to anything to
be seen in this city for a long time from
a dramatic point Of view.
Mr.. Sothern plans to play this tour for
the Red Cross and to sail for England
in April next with his charming wife,
Julia Marlowe. She herself has had a
hard time to get her mind adjusted to
this delay. but they both conscientiously
feel that they must contribute their bit. -
and. as he nobly says, 1T is no time
for US to take our ease while there Is
so much agony abroad" She, too. would
work for the wounded II she could, but
she can no longer stand the strain OF
active acting.
Mr.. Sothern has, indeed. retired from
the stage, and is doing this great work
quite apart from any personal or busi-
ness endeavor. He said in his speeches
at the farewell banQuets given to him in
New York that he would play for charity
when he could, and he is about to do it
now. Surely there could be no more
noble ending to a great and digniied
career.
Mr.. Sothern 7as surrounded himself
with his customary excellent cast, in
cluding, in addition to the distinguished
star, such well-known artists as Miss
Margaret Dale (his leading LADY,, Mr..
George Wilson, Miss Virginia Hammond,
Mr.. H. J. Carvill, Mr.. Howson and 100
others.
While the play Of 'If Were King Is
one Of proven value and far superior TO
most Of the romantic plays that were in
vogue in its period, it is not a crazy
guilt OF episodes from a novel that never
was intended for theatrical use, but a
well-ordered, intelligible drama pulsing
with life and incessant interest through
out. Playgoers should rise to the occa-
sion.

The celebrated Serge de Diaghileff Bal

A Worthy Occupation.
Mr.. Sothern makes the following in
teresting statement bearing on his ex-
perience before the footlights:
Il have devoted my entire life to
the stage and am sure that I could
have found no worthier occupation
than that of interpreting the great
masterpieces of dramatic literature.
What i have given to the stage, the
stage has given back to me with in
terest.. / have given my whole brain,
my whole heart, my whole strength
and ambition. The stage has given
to me the glory of triumphing over
obstacles, the appreciation of thou
sands Of audiences, and the vast inner
qualification of having accomplished
work that longed to do. The stage
has also given me my livelihood.
Acting, is to my mind, the greatest
of all the arts, as it is unfortunately
the most transitory. 1t is sculpture,
painting and literature all combined
and brought to life, with music often
a necessary adjunct. But, because
acting is the art of the actor and dies
with him, the measure of achievement
is Just SO much more personal. If the
player receive his reward at all it must
come during his lifetime and not after
his death" ~-..
A Harvard Prize Play.
e Cleves G. Knkead, whose first
play, Common Clay" has been the
sensation Of the theatrical season in
New York, and which will be pre-
sented at the National Theater this
week, is a Kentuekian, and the latest
Of Louisvilie's successes in the liter
ary field. He is widely known and
popular in Louisville, where he was
active in the practice of law and po-
litical work as well as Journalism His
FIRST practice In political writing was
acquired on the reportorial staff of
the Louisville Evening Post.
Mr.. Kinkead's success as a play
wright was so sudden and unusual as
to be almost unprecedented and it is
quite certain that the author himself
was surprised at the promptness with
which he reached his goal. Though
frequently reused by friends who be-
lieyed in his literary talents to take
up writing, Mr.. Kinkead never made
a serious effort along these lines I'M

This big show of one hundred persons

Of the American stage. In the two years
Of its existence It has been presented in
but three cities, namely. New York, Bos-

cities It has established an unequaied

decided to take a course at the Har-
ward Dramatic School, conducted by
Prof. Baker, under whose tutelage
such playwrights as Sheldon and
Knoblauch have already developed
their talents. In a year, Mr.. Kin
kead had contested for and won the
prize offered by John Craig, of the
Castle Square Stock Company in
Boston, and shortly after the play
was put on as a college writer's first
effort, it had established itself in its
own right as success of extraordi-
nary proportions. The play was
brought to New York by A. H. Woods
where it ran for solid year at the
Republic Theater.

In other words, the constitutional right of

never questioned or endangered by the most

Such men as Andrew johnson, Thad Ste

to enforce the laws within her jurisdiction,
so far as her private citizens were concerned.
