OTIS SKINNER DUE
AT ENGLISH's THURSDAY.
Among the roles which the art OF OF
Skinner has made notable in the anna
Of the American stage, that in which
is to appear at English's Thursd
hight, must be recognized as one Of t
most successful of his efforts If he nj
be judged by advance reports. The rc
is chat Of Juan GaIlardo, bull fighter. t
idol Of Spain, and the hero Of Bias
Ibanez's thrilling novel Blood al
Sand"
This engagement Of Mr. Skinner at [
English IS bound to be regarded as o.
Of the important and impressive even
of the year. The appearance Of NJ
Skinner in new play has always rankt
al an unusual event
It may not be out of order to DESERT
briefly, the story as dramatized by To
Gushing. The action of the drama FIR
finds Gallardo at the peak of his pop
larity as the premier bull fighter
Spain, and carries him through the De
iod of his infatuation for Dona Sol. Il
beautiful nOblewoman whose passi1
fancy for him changes his nature al
rohs him of his skill and fame. II
said that the role differs immeasura b
from any in which Mr.. Skinner has bes
seep before, and offers him Opportuniti
for one Of the most powerful character
Eations that have distinguished his c
7aer.
The audience will see the Temperance
tai idol of the Spanish people succuu
to the lure OF one Of the most beautif
women of Spain, and assume the cha
actertstics Of a cave man-brutal in h
love, p1tiful IN his despair and terrib
in his vengefuI impulses. All the Iigh
and shades Of these mental changes al
their physical expression are said to
revealed as only an artist Of Mr. ski
