Dramatic Carmen at Knickerboekcf
The best piece Of acting that has ever
been seen at the Knickerbocker Theatre
is there this week. in the form OF Eleanor
Montelrs Interpretation OF Carmen. II
the play by Prosper Merimee. Miss Nom
tell is ably supported by a cast of
nearly so.
Miss Monters Carmen was highly
dramatic, passionate, without the geneiz
BUSINESS that charscterizes some inter-
pretatons. She held the audience fRurR=
lively, in her hand. When she laughed
in scorn at her stupid companlons. the
cigarette girls of Seville the audience
laughed, and when she trembled at the
mention of Garcia, the audience tremblcd.
In her love scenes she was all that could
be asked-from any actress. When she
ragged and tormented her lovers into kill
ing each other, the audience, Cor some
reason or other, sympathlzed with her.
It Is mild to say that she was at her
best. 1t is the first time that the COM
paratively new leading lady showed what
she could really do.
Her acting was inspired a good deal no
doubt by the admirable support given her
in the leading roles. Frank Elliott, as
Don Jose, showed up In the best form IN
which he has yet appeared: Anna DOH
erty, as Mercedes, in the scene where
she leaves her brother to Carmen, won
the house. and Ted Brackett, as Eeca-
milo, was very dramatic.
The piece was elaborately staged. The
lighting effects were excellent, while the
scene showing the Lilas Pasta Gardens.
In the second act, with its hundreds OF
colored electric lights among the trees,
mandolin players, Spanish dancers and
the "Toreador Song" sung by Armando
Campanelo. was one of the most pir-
turesque ever staged by the West Phila-
