CLEVER ACTING
IN PRODUCTION
OF THE TEMPEST"

John F. Martin and Andrew Muster
man in their respective roles of Step
hano and Trinculo. the shipwrecked
topers. provoked many a hearty
laugh, balancing we'll the seriousness
of Prospero and the lovers.
John Musterman as the learned.
dignified Prospero. and Ernest Flores
tano as the deformed. treaeherous
Caliban, gave performances of much
merit
Miss Catherine Geraci and Percy
Brock, as Miranda and Ferdinand,
manifested remarkable depth OF
feeling in the portrayal of their roles.
Miss Geraci was sufficiently charming
heroine 10 enchant any youthful
prince. even one of such noble bearing
as Ferdinand.
The three goddesses, Juno. Ceres,
and Iris, were charmingly represent
ed by the Misses Lena Lorea. Ger
trude Jones and Myrtle Sturm. while
the lesser roles of devils, nymphs
reapers and sprites were also well en-
acted. many graceful and enchanting
dances and tableaux being employed
Red lights lent a particularly weird
and realistic effect to the gatherings
OF the devils. while the nymphs and
sprites danced in a pale green light
that made their beauty ethreal.
Through the courtesy and generous
efforts of Mr. jacob. who installed
the electrical displays, the success OF
the production was assured, and the
sincerest gratitude TO him is felt by
all connected with the production.
Appropriate music was furnished
by the Naval Academy orchestra, un-
der the direction of Professor Torov-
sky In the course of the perform
aDce Charles Sherman rendered sew
eral vocal selections in his own arts
tic and mastery manner
The costumes worn by the cast OF
THE Tempest" were particularly ar
tistic and clever, being good repre-
sensations of the garments worn al
the period of history with which the
play deals. Especially realistic was
the garb selected for Prospero and fol
Ferdinand and that worn by the
| devils.

AT THE CIRCLE PLAYHOUSE
TONIGHT

The Loves of Lefty" which is the
attraction at the Circle Playhouse to-
night, is exactly the kind of picture
that present-day motion picure audi
ences find to their liking, 1t embod-
les therefore the quality that makes
its success at your theatre sure-fire
T roposition-the quality of popular
appeal.
The story of THE Loves of Lefty
is essentially true-so-life, embellisheC
with just enough dramatic detail and
heart interest 10 give Ii the perfec;
balance that is necessarily the out
standing virtue of successful pic
ture. The problems of the heroine "a
poor girl whose hand is sought by
three suitors. one a dissolute noble
man who offers her position. an I'M
couth money-slave who offers her
riches. and an impecunious youth
whose love is honest and sincere-arC
the problems of the average American
girl and the manner in which they
are treated in The Loves of Lefty
will maintain the interest of your aud
fence throughout and will make them
glow with sympathy for the girl who
was forced to take the easiest way.
