ICfJIo Shannon played with charm end sin- cerity the rolo of tho unhappy and gentle spinster. In the emotional moments sho wan • bit theatric. It was, however, on tno whole, a noteworthy performance. Although he did not exactly suggest tho picture of tho rugged Now England farmor, A. D. Anson acted with great sincerity, ltnglnald Harlow made the character of tno money-seeking farmer stand out It was a wonderfully conceived portrayal of tuo Yan- kee skinflint. It was something of a surprise to lee tho polished Herbert Kclcey, with ebln whiskers, playing the rolo of a grasping, selfish brother, but he ployed It excellently, although It must be confessed that big accent was mora Cockney than New England. It remained for a stranger to tbe New York stage to make the most emphatic Im- pression. She waa Ollda Vafcsl, and ibo ta a real find among emotional actresses. She gave a vivid performance of tho Portuguese* wife. Indeed, no finer bit of acting has been seen on tho local stage this season. ' Cecil Yapp, aa tho Idiot (a rolo not needed In the play), contributed an appealing portrait. Olive Wyndbam waa aweet and charming as Anita, and the role of her bashful lover was excellently played by Theodor Von Eltz. Kate Jepson was natural In tbo •mall rolo of a New England housewife. Uncommonly beautiful la the woodland scene, and the lighting effect Is perfect. Mr Ames has once more proved that J10 Is In the very front rank of American producers. Keloey. JEFFERSON. The bill for Jan. 14-10 showed good acta and good pictures. La, Petite Marie opened with ber Jolly little trapeze act full of catchy little tricks and trimmed with some little vocal exercise*. The disrobing/ while doing Iron Jaw work was liked. Herman Beits sang "lloom do KcfsT "Why Don't They Do It Now" and "Fatlma Brown," and did several good stories and Imitations. Packard and flmiill speeded up well In songs and dances. *I Didn't Think He'd Do If was one of their songs. Mr. Packard did a fomale In n green gown and a Oeorgte Cohan bit. Doth finished with clever dan- cing. Helen Primrose did a grotesque nut act. starting well with "The Curse of An Aching Heart." and then utilizing the "All Bight' gat in different, variation*..

Charles Probman'* revival of "Hosetnaty," on Jan. 12, revived memories of tho original American production, which occurred Aug. 81, 18011, at this samo theatre, with Mr. Drew aa Hlr Jasper. Maude Adams as Dorothy Crulcksbank, and Ethel Hurryinoro as Prls- cllla. It was this samo rolo that did much to moke Mr. Drew a fixed etar In the theatrical firmament, for In his portrayal of Sir Jasper bo displayed a versatility of which his fond- est admirers had not dreamed. It was Maudo Adams' performance of Dorothy Cruleksliank, also, which did much to confirm Charles Frobman that his decision to mako Miss Adams a star was a wlso one. and the following year found her a Kroliman slur, ploying Lady Ilabbic. In "Tho Ldttla Minister/' While Mthol Ilarrymore's work as Prlscllla Drat brought hor to public atten- tion, and was tbe forerunner of ber being featured llvo yearn later In Mr, Froh- man's production of "Captain Jinks of tbo Horse Marines," which was written espe- cially for bor by Clyde Fitch. For these leasoni the revival of "lloaemary" Is of more than passing Interest. Mr. Drew's present performance shows tbe same artistry shown In the previous produc- tion. Ills Hlr Jasper Thorndyko stands to- day as 000 of bis best characterisations, for tbe reason that It brings to tbo front a versatility wblcb Is not required in many of bis Impersonations. Alexandra Carlisle made a charming Doro- thy. Dear Mrs. Thomas Whlffcn (who has elected not to retire for a while, despite her oft repeated assertion that she would) was her usual charming self. Frances Landy was pleasing as Prlscllla, and May Oalyer wan capable as Mrs. Mliilde. Harold llarwond fwho waa with Mr. Drew In the first American production) played bis original role of Captain Crulckshnnk, Hu- bert Druco, Frank M. Thomas, Lewis Kdgard and Welter Soderllng gave good aid. "Rosemary" Is only on for a few per- formances, aa Ethel Karrvmore opens st this bouse Jan. 25,. In "Tbe Shadow." Wnit.
