AUTO TRUCK PLUNGES
INTO DEEP CANYON

Babe Brown, of Clearwater, had a
hair raising experience Saturday, as
his Chevrolet truck dropped several
hundred feet down the steep side
of canyon and then finally jumped
clear, to escape without injury, while
the truck continued in its mad dash
to the canyon bed below. The truck
was completely demolished in the
descent.
Mr.. Brown was making trip to
Tahoe ridge, when he met a man on
the grade with a team. Drawing to
the outside Of the road he let the
team pass, but in, doing 50, his front
wheels ran off the grade. He decid-
ed to take no chances and asked the
teamster to give him lift back onto
the road. 1t appears the team start
ed before Mr.. Brown could get into

the car and the rope with which he
was being towed broke and turned
the truck loose down the grade. Mr..
Brown jumped to the seat in an eff
fort to stop the car and in doing so,
the car struck barb-wipe fence.
The wire prevented Browns jumping
for some time. Stub Ruark went
over Monday and brought the truck
into Sites. 1t was completely de-
molished.

Cyrano who even obliterated mem

Edward f. Pidgeon. in the Journal
of Commerce, declare red:
There were those present last
night who had vivid memories of the
three preceding performances Chose
of Coquelin, Mansfield and the late
Henry Lee), and their opinion was
unanimous that Walter Hampden q
Cyrano was a performance surpass-
ing all in excellence, an impersona-

poet, fighter and romanticist superior
in every detail"
Robert Gilbert Welsh, the reviewer
for MIR. Munsey's Evening Telegram,
said:
"Coquelin excelled in the lighter
scenes and Mansfield was at his best
in the death scene. 1t remained for
Mr.. Hampden to be equally impress
sive in both the lighter and the more
serious aspects of this great comedy.
II is superb performance that Mr..

Talented Understudy.

VALERIE VALAIRE, the talented
young actress who is understudy
for all the feminine roles in George
kelly's comedy, The Show-On," has
not only memoriZed the lines and
business of the totally different roles
created by Helen Lowell, Regina
Wallace and Juliette Crosby in this
epic comedy of American home life,
but has already played the respective
parts with success.
For an actress to be able to play
credibly a young girl madly in love
and an old caustic mother bowed
down by the years of toll in rearing
a family in moderate circumstances
is a feat to be proud of: The parts
are extreme as the poles, and yet
Miss Falaire has bridged the gap,

Bergerac" and in his Shakespearean
season, which will begin in New York
at holiday time.
Mr.. Holloway was signed especially
to play Iago to Mr.. Hampden's
Othello. In the meantime. he will
act the villain, Comte de Guiche, in
'Cyrano." while Miss Sherwin will
play Roxane.
Baliol Holloway is one of the lead
ing legitimate actors in England.
Like Mr.. Hampden, he is. a graduate
of the famous Benson Shakespeare
company. He has just closed an en-
gagement at the Memorial Theater in
Stratford-on-Avon. during which he
played Iago, Falstaff and Malvolio.
and also Sir Peter Teazle in Sheri-
dams THE School for Scandal" Last
spring he played similar roles in the
Shakespearean festival given by
Donald Calthrop in London.
Miss Sherwin has had wide Shake
spearean experience in London, India,

greatest successes being as Desde-
mona, Juliet, Portia and Olivia.
Three years ago she and Mr.. Hollo-
spectively, in Twelfth Night" in a

Gayety's New Manager.

John Lyons. the new manager of
the Gayety Theater, although new
to burlesque, is by no means a
stranger to the Washington amuse-
ment public.
Eleven years ago he was the man.
ager of the old Academy of Music,
now the Strand. which was then
under the control of f. D. Stair. and
presented classical melodrama, now
apparently lost to the stage. Since
that time Mr.. Lyons has been the
manager of the Prospect Theater in
Cleveland and the Plymouth and
Majestic, Shubert in Boston. Mr..
Lyons is a member of Washington
Lodge of Elks.
Mr.. Lyons appointment comes with
the adoption of a new policy by the
Columbia Amusement Association,
that of employing managers expe-
rienced in other lines of the theatrical
world than burlesque, not only for
the purpose of getting the benefit of
new ideas. but also because it is felt
that their assistance may be valuable
in the circuits campaign for in
creased patronage by women.

THERE have been three famous ex-
ponents Of the title role of Ed
mond Rostand's heroic comedy. "Cy-
rano de Bergerac." First. Constand
Coquelin, creator of the character in
Paris in 1897; second, Richard Mans
field, who first produced the play in
America the year following. and.
third, Walter Hampden, who has
just finished his $50 performances of
his successful revival of this modern
classic at the National Theater, New
York.
There were several minor attempts
to present the play in this country
during the intervening years, but,
because of the magnitude and diff
Guilty of the undertaking and the ex-
acting nature of the central role,
they met with speedy failure.
A comparison of the three great
Cyranos by the newspaper critics of
New York who had seen them all was
inevitable after Walter Hampden's
opening and it is of particular in
terest that unanimously they gave
the palm for superiority to Hamp-
den. While Coquelin realized certain
phases of the character more COM
pletely than Mansfield did, the COM
edy scenes especially. and Mansfield
was better than Coquelin in the cpl
sodes of tragedy and pathos. each of
them was found to be lacking in
some essential for perfect charac-
te1ization. Water Hampden, how
ever, was declared to embody all the
essentials, giving portrayal in
which was blended all the humor,
satire. romance, poetry and tragedy
of which the character is COM
pounded.
Alan Dale, the veteran and caustic
critic of the New York American.
summed up the general opinion CO.
gently as follows:
