The New York Clipper (October 1907)

October 19. THK NEW YORK OLalPPJSK. 957 World of Players. Korea vaon the Andrew Mack Co., under the imitmgement of W. Al. W'llklson.—Aft** an absence of more tban two years. Mr. Mack has returned to Sydney, N. S. \v.. to nnJ playgoers as warmly appreciative aa ever of the genial, witty comedian. With the anima- tion and spontaneous humor of the typical Irishman, he had the audience laughing at his merry quips before he had been two min- utes on the stage. In that amusing scene with the school children, where the dramatist so successfully strikes the keynote of Moore s elm meter In revealing the aplrlt of frolic which Ieada the poet to romp with the schol- ars, and wofully Interferes with the discipline of the little community. Good humor is his dominant quality, a Jest ever on bis lips or In his heart, even at the moment when, ilerccjy angry at the stupidity which has per- mitted him to fall loto the transparently clumsy trap set by Lovelace's catspaw, Ter- ence Parrel, he catches sight of the dunce's cap In the schoolroom, and at once thrusts It upon his own head. As for the scene wtt'i the landlady, Mrs. Malonc, who invades Moore's attic, Imperatively demanding her rent, refusing to go until she gets It, and tlnally capitulating when Moore sings to ncr, It Is irresistible. The songs, of course, con- stituted a great attraction of the performance. HOPKINS I ALLEN WILD WEST REVOLVER 82 or 88 Calibre. (il. Iirrel. Kwi Steel.

Jane Kelton, diminu- tive in figure, was brightly vivacious In the merry scene In the schoolhousc, and although she did not fully realize the dramatic possibil- ities of the third end fourth acts, she played Intelligently and conscientiously. Annie Mack Berleln, who, like Mr. Mack, was greeted as an uld friend by the audience, repeated her capital study as the Irate landlady, whose scene with Moore and his serving-man was one of the most realistic and laughable events of the evening. Martin Alsop, as Sir Perci- val Lovelace, endeavored with only partial success to portray the manner of the court exquisite; Mr. Cumbourne was too heavy a fluster, and Edwin Lester, as Robin Dyke, the vain old poetaster, and Mr. McCormick, as McDernrjtt, the publisher, were generally satisfactory. Norman McKcown, lately with the Ilrough Flemmlng Co., plays the part of Terence Parrel, and W. Townsend is ngaln Lord Molra, while the Prince of Wales of the cast Is R. Orelg. Notes from "Saved raoii tub Slums" Co. —With the addition of Baby Collins, the clever child actress, E. P. Carrlgan's big scenic comedy drama company Is complete.

Is all entirely new this season), that 15 Manager E. P. Car- rlgan had everything in ship-shape, ready to embark for the season.

At Seattle (Seattle Theatre) this company broke the house rec- ord over the opening of last season the B. R. O. sign being out nearly every night dur- ing the week. The press at Seattle.

I'"iied'k Laniiam, of the Depew-Burdette Stuck Co.. writes: "We are now in our ninth week of this season and have played to capacity at every city where we have ap- peared. Frankfort, Ky., proved to be one of our best stands this sesson. Our receipts were larger than any other repertory com- pany that has ever played there. The De- pew-Burdette Co. stands as the representa- tive stock company touring tbe United States. Our company Is beaded by Thomas 10. De- pew, a favorite comedian, and Fannie De- pew, winning Boubrette. We carry Ave big vaudeville feature acts, beaded by Bttnkerr, an electrical dancer. Our roster remains tbe same. We are featuring 'Itip Von Winkle.' We are rehearsing a few new plays, includ- ing : 'The Man from Sweden.' It has been the wish of Mr. Depew to make his company the strongest repertory show of to-day, and It ctin truthfully be said that the Depew-Bur- dette Co. sets the pace. We played Spring- field. O., week of Oct 7, which Is our old standby, and we expect to pack the bouse all week. Everybody Is well and bappy and The Old Ubliable reaches us every week. The phenomenal business which tbe Depew- Burdette Co. has enjoyed can be attributed to a show that pleases everyone, good man- agement, plenty of press work, good billing and up-to-date methods." Norm twit Callahan's Dramatic Co.—We closed after a season of fifty weeks of the most successful business of our twelve years. We will spend the Winter season at Fort Smith, Ark., opening about March 10, with an entire new repertory, and play only the larger cities of the Soptb and west In our repertory for next season we shall have a large spectacular production of "East Lynoc" and "Mugg's Landing." Our special car, "Santo," will undergo many needed repairs., and will have a plate glass observation end and special electric nttacbjncnts throughout.
