"THE IAST DAYS OF POMPEII" BIJon Theatre.—George Klelne'a master- ly motion picture production ot llulwer Lytton's tragic novel of lite la the doomed cUv ot Pompeii, prior to Its destruction by Vesuvius, A. D. 79, was presented fo» toe first time In New York City at this house Monday afternoon, Oct 20. The cast of ihanteters: Glanrus &£• TTbaldo Strfani rii itl: tt<! Sir Oltale de Stefano Arbufcs Slg.

Klelno has hit the bull's eye again I "•(juo'Vadls?" that epoch making; event in the world of motion pictures, which Immedi- ately following H« initial shoeing in the metropolis, became s standard of compari- son tor alt fumdom, has been equalled, at icast, in the wonderfully artistic and magnifi- cently produced feature photoplay, "The Last Dave of Pompeii." Mr. Klelno b version of the classic Is la Ibree acts, of two parts each, and was made ty the Ambroslo Company, at Torino, Italy.. The gripping story of ancient Pompeii Is visualized in all its Intensity, having lost authlng In the transition from, the book to tin? screen. Olaucos, the handsome scion of nobility, is played with a world of intelligence by Klg. TJbeldo Stefani. He looks and acts (lie part, shading his work with Just tbe proper amount of expression. Arbaces, the villainous Egyptian, who, trader Die cover ot performing the duties of pagan £rlesthood, practiced the vilest hypocrisy uaglnoble, and who misled tbe Mind girl, Nydla. Into giving the maddening draught to Gfaucus, was completely portrayed by Big. Antonio Orisairtl.

Produced on Monday evening, Jet 20, by the New En Producing Co., inc., with this cast: Vera Knapp Otiet Fllklu Theodore Knapp Elliott Dexter Mrs. De Witt Knapp Uande Granger Bruce Walton Henry Stephenson Carl Sassier Albert F. Howmb Mrs. Leila Lawford Anne Meredith Mrs. Anson Smith Isabel Richards Paul King Bernard Fairfax Norton Harry Btevcna Pierre Lawreuce C. Knapp The Harris, which baa been dark for some time, re-opened on the above date with tbe second production of the New Era Producing Company—their first was the musical bit, "Allele." While "The Love Leash" will not set the town talking. It Is a bright, amusing comedy, dealing with "smart" people, and while it is about a trial divorce, tbe niece does out con- tAln a line or situation that is not clean. The play is the first from the pen of Anna btcese Richardson, a well known magazine ■writer, and in writing "The T.ovo Leawh" she had the technical assistance of that good actor, Edmund Breese. The story concerns Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Knapp, who have been married ten yars. The husband Is sick and tired ot being "babied" and mothered by his wife and his mother, and be tells his lawyer (who Is ■Uniting hun) that be would give anything for a year of real freedom. His conversa- tion is overheard try the wife, wJto protest* that she, too, had been bored by the life, and sbebtoposes a trial divorce to last one year. The wife becomes the patron of a struggling musician, and tbe husband tries to make himself happy In the company of a woman novelist Both, become suspicious and jealous ot each other, but after a while the husband and wife come to the conclusion that they were happiest In the old way of llv- «us, and* who. In the pftiful expectancy that liK. and decj de to resume it she might gain thereby the unrequited love •f the Athenian nobleman, administers tbe iatal potion, doe to the artifices of the arch ■fend, Arbaces, Is a study In feminine char- acter work as played by Slg. a Fernanda Negri Pooget lone, beloved of Olaacus. was {Iven a classical Interpretation by Big. a lugenla Tettona Florio. Apeddes, the brother of lone, under the ' tutelage of Arbaces, but who. discovering the baseness of his Instructor, threatens ex- aosttre, and Is murdered by the pagan priest •efore he can carry out his Intention, was flayed finely by 'Slg. Cesare Ganl Carlno. i.'lorHua, a young Roman, was a work of art la the hands of Slg. Oltale De Staflnl. The Sorceress, who, offended accidentally and without Intent, bv Qlancus and lone, shows such bitter hatred, was magnificent, as shown la her different phases of emotion by fig. a Maria Brtoschi. Tbe production in every department Is par excellence. The direction being noticeably excellent throughout The Interiors and exteriors are all clearly shown, and do not look "faky" in any man- ler. The assemblage of the gladiators, the audience of what might be fifty thousand feople seated around the arena, and !*o sanclng girls are three scenes that will create talk fsr months to come. The crowning achievement of the producer, lowcver. Is the absolutely wonderful de- struction of the doomed city of Pompeii. Grace Fllklns, after an absence ot two rears, returns to the stage in this piece. She is featured and deserves to he, for her performance as tbe wife is superb, as a comedienne Miss Filklng stands with the best. She has distinction and pcrsonallly. Maude Granger, as the mother, was capi- tal, and earned tbe applause given her. It Is always a pleasure to see this experienced actress on the stage Anne Meredith, as the novelist, had a role that gave her scant opportunities. She is , "ft^"" 11 7 CI 7 »"*'»• . . .. are exceedingly c ever, and Teddy is'far and Elliott Dexter, as the husband, was rather away the heat tralneti do» we have sei-n on stagey In the first act, out got a good grin the 8tagCi Tney d , n . t eve n have to look to upon himself in the- two succeeding ones and , ce ^ 1; he is "working." HAMMERSTEIFS VICTORIA, (Wit. 1L4HMBBSTB1K, S10B.) The principal vaudeville event of the week was the American debut of Wllkle Hard. the celebrated English tomedUn, which oc- curred at this house on Monti ty afternoon. This theatre has, on many occasions, held many largo audiences, but the one that as- sembled to welcome Mr. Bard was the largest the "corner" has sheltered for some time past Every actor and actress, espe- cially the English ones, that could spare the time was on hand. The welcome accorded Mr, Bard on kia first entrance could have been heard several blocks away, and tbe re- ception given him at tbe conclusion of his fifty minute act was a veritable ovation. It Is hoped that be will stay with us for moro than two weeks- Mr. Bard was compelled to make a speech of thanks, and It had the keynote of sin- cerity. Baskets of flowers were passed over the footlights in great abundance. A full review of Mr. Bard's work will be found in our New Acts column. Owing to Mr. Rard's engagement William Ilammerstcln reduced the number of acts. Tbe bill was opened by Bavo, a novelty Jug- gler, who works with almost lightning ra- pidity. Most of the feats, with one or two exceptions, have been seen before. Wilbur Sweatman's artistic ploying on the clarinet was generously applauded. His play- ing of two Instruments at the same time is some stunt Madden and Fltspatrlck pleased once more with their clever sketch, with Its witty lines and charming sentimentality. Winsor McCay, the cartoonist nod an easy time of it All he 'iad to do was to step aside and allow the moving picture Show his work. He explained, however, that be worked day and night drawing his "crea- tions" for the films, and this was the first time that a stationary object was made to move ia a film. One of tie reels snowed a mosquito biting a fat man, that was quite funny. The Father Girls were warm favorites. Tbe taller one is a good singer and a grace- ful dancer. The smaller one docs the comedy portion of the act and sometimes It Is good. Tbe Stewart Sisters and Escorts, In songs and dances, followed Wllkle Bard, but despite this difficult position on the bill, they man- aged to get over. Mile. Fatlma. who Is In her third week. Is still a warm favorite, and her remarkable dances came In for much applause. Wtntworth. Vesta and Teddy, In a comedy acrobatic offering, scored heavily. Both men UNION SQUARE. ((, h boons, mm.) For week ot Oct. 20, Manager Rogers of- fers a varied program. Clarmont Bros., a straight and white faco clown, two man combination, performed tho usual routine that goes with revolving lad- der and trapeze. The closing trick, hi which they whirl through space in daro-devU fash- ion, brought tho big applause so dear to the heart of the performer. The Batbskeller Trio, two singers and a pianist with a somewhat different opening than tie conventional thrco man act, evi- dently tried for novelty la starting the act with a ballet and a "red flood." The wholo act needs entlro rovlslon. Tho blonde youth has ability, but suffers from, the general lack of team work evidenced. The Three Kcatona were so funny Monday night in their grotesque low comedy offeilng that they made a "critic" laugh Mrosrlf nearly oat of a balcony box, said critic hav- ing tho reputation of being a "hard" audi- ence Surely the above fact testifies no to the laugh producing qualities of the Kenton family. As a real, old time, sure-fire, knock- about comedy act, Buster, Myra and fas Kea- ton are In the "unapproachable" class. Wills Holt Wakefield was just as charming as usual. Hor delivery and enunciation are delightful. The sougB she ia using now are rot quite up to her former routine, but tbe plasologiata and song reader can make any old song at least cnlornbly interesting. ) Five Mowatts have one of the speedl- acts seen In many, many gave an Interesting performance, It not perfect one. Albert F. Howson, as the gifted musician, gave an exceedingly clever performance of a role that could have easily been spoiled had It been overplayed. Henry Stephenson, as the family lawyer, played his role splendidly. The other* did well. The scenes are beautiful, especially the studio in Act second. In face, there are hut two—the other is the living room of the Knappg' country home. The gowns worn by the women are simply gorgeous, and are guaranteed to send women theatregoers Into spasms of delight Tbe Theodore Benillx String Quartette supplies the music between the acts. It Is well worth hearing. Kelcey. Sherman, Van and Hyman, in songs and music, and Gallnndo, clay modeler, were also on the bill, and found their usual favor. JTeloey. i » i PALACE.

The team work of the five Is one complicated formatnon. used near the finish of the act, commands breathless attention. Win. Friend and Amy Lesser (N'ew Acts next week) offered a singing mid dancing skit, with a slight plot. They wore well re- ceived. Julius Sieger and company (New Acts next week) presented "Tho Warning" for the first time In the llg city. Mr. Steger, through clover acting, makes tbe rather stilted Hues eecm natural enough. Field Bros., In white face, 'way down next to closing, wore placed In too dllflrult a snot, following the heavy dramatic work of Julius Steger, and suffered accordingly. The boys have a neat dancing and singing arrange- ment that should appeal to audiences uni- versally. Tbe medley of old time songs wns more than warmly applauded. IX M. Lasell and company (New Acts next week) play a one act pantomime on the order somewhat of the old Uaulon Bros.' affairs of by-gone days. It is full of good "bits," hot a little too long.
