PERSONAL TRIBUTE


Those who went to the, PFasby
terian church last Friday to heai
Mr.. Rice interpret "The Man of the
Hour went with great expecta
tions, but no one could have reallz-
ed Beforehand the artistic treat IL
store for him. The audience can
well thank the third division of the
Ladies' aid society for bringing Mr..
Rice here, for it is an opportunity
and great privilege TO nave mad
Americas foremost impersonator In
our city.
Mr.. Rice not only charmed his
audience from the moment he ap-
peared upon the platform, but he
held it breathless during the entire
evening.
The test of sincerity, of artistry
and Of technique of his work was
realized in the splendid response OF
his audience. One needed to force
himself to become conscious OF
technique, 80 obedient and subserv-
lent were body and voice to the
dictates Of his will. Under the in
fluence of his powerfully created
atmosphere, his audience followee
his easy and graceful delineation U,
character not of one but Of many
characters. They became flesh and
blood at his will, they entered, play
! ed their part and were dismissed
from scenes Of action.
Perhaps one Of the most remark
able features of the Interpretation
by Mr.. Rice was the excellent voice
work Pleasing and satisfying III
of others, SO flexible and responsive
was this instrument, that never FOL
a moment did it allow one TO ques
ton the mental aud moral character
of his play creations.
The play itself is a modern foul
act comedy dealing with political
intrigue, and graft, with the social
side of life cleverly woven in. Two
unscrupulous spectators with the
aid OF. the usual political graft gang
succeed in electing their" mayor
young man of ability and clear
record, but one whom they Intend
to use to further their personal in
terests. His honor. the mayor, re-
mains true to his oath; utterly re-
fuses to be bought, bribed, threat
ened, refuses to name his price,

sions and hopes are touched upon

j The story is full of interest of the
