THE THEATRE FORGOTTEN
To those who have followed the career
of the great rural play "Quincy Adams
Sawyer" to the extent of witnessing a
large number of its perform nee, the
most notable feature of the drama is the
power that certain of its scenes exert
upon the Audience in compelling illusion
Especially is this true of the famous
husking bee scene, in which the color and
humor of the rural festivity are so vivid
ly presented as to make this portion of the
performance an example of the art which
conceals art and hence perfect.
The players in this merry scene are so
thoroughly in sympathy with it, their
pranks and laugnter are spontaneous, the
little details supplieu in the stage settings
are so perfect, that as the scene advances
the audience gradually enter into the
spirit of the situation and forget
theatre. The heated spirit of the atmos
phere of the playhouse is dissipated and
from the natural simplicity and life-like
cha-m of the merriment there sweep
over the spectator that perfect illusion
which comes but seldom from stage art.
Thafootlights dissappear and the actors on
one side and the lookers-on upon the other
seem to minai In rhclcso.T.i enjoyment.
At Steward's opera House on Friday
Nov. 30, there will be few in the audience
who will not find the husking bee scene a
perfect realization of the geniuine article
A PLEASING PLAY
A small house last evening witnessed
the presentation of "The Sign of the
Cross," by . a well balanced company.
From the opening lines to the wonderful
climax in the last act. the play was in
tensely interesting. The leading roles
wsre especially well played and the
minor parts too, were well taken.
Little criticism could be made of any
actor in the caste. The story of how the
the christians, during Nero's reign, suffer
ed frightful bodily inflictions, was ably
portrayed. Then too, there was an in
spiring love story interwoven thru the
play, which emphasized the devoutness
of the christians. When the crucial test
came for Mercia, the' leading christian
lady in the play, her devoutness for
Christianity overcame her love for man.
The curtain falls on the last act U the
psychological moment and makes the
spectator more vividly imagine the fright
ful end of two strong personalities, that
of the christion and the converted subject
of Nero, Marcus.
MAUD FEALY
Miss Fealy ought to be all that her
crier of praises claims. Regarding her
cleverness: She was one entire season
with the late Sir Henry Irving, the great
est actor of his time, in the enviable posi
tion of leading lady, one might almost
say, "his co-star." Then again, she
held the same position with E. S. Willard.
William Gillette and William Collier. And
regarding her beantv. it is a matter of
1 history that her unotoRrapn was awa-ded
i thi grand priz at the Par' Exposition
1 durinpf the International contest of the
1 world s most bev.ituul women. And
1 speaking of magnetism: Would it not
j seem that she was bubbling over with
I that indispensable adjunct to an actress,
success, since she has attained an inter
national reputation as a representative
actress?
Indeed we will not question MissFeaiy's
claims but rather await the descending of
this brilliant little twinkler into the loca
theatrical firmament. Tuesday. Dec. 1 1 .
