Is due, but they are Just si faint shade more enthusiastic, although they mlabt not actually seallse .. It themselves, when the genius Is one of , there en American as is Emma Eamea. , Bhe has not always been at the top f the ladder; Eames has had her strug gles, aa have many of her less sifted listers, and ah has fought her way .to .the front rank, where she now holds un disputed sway.- One of the most pleas ant. It not the greatest triumph of her rareer, came on the opening of this tour, when she appeared, for the first time In IS years. In her home town. , Bangor, Maine, and sans; there with the annual festival.- The whole state turned out r' to. welcome the" sifted daughter, for al though born la China, Km ma Eames was brought vp In Maine, and claims It as her native state. ; -An Immense throng came to pay -her Marlowe ' and Sotlera.:xriJ ''Tte Siraming;bf (Contlnaed from Page Eighteen.) nmslness" In. which his servants taks so prominent.' a part, must certainly r-sv been designed as ths broadest , of farce. , .:,;". I A New Interpretation. - '' It was a . recognition of ' this fact j mhich likely .Induced Mr." Bothern and j Miss Marlowe to put ths coloring which they did upon this play, for It Is a fresh Interpretation which they bring to It; i fresh Interpretation In that It is likely , i a reversion to original conception of the " I lay. The Idea of ths divine poet and 1 Inspired bard Is not la. evidence as yov 'witness this production. You are sim ply aware of enjoying a splendid farce - acted in an exuberance of spirit which ' takes tbe audience Into confidence with the actors on te stage. It Is all a nag Joke be wean th0M : behind the footlights 4nd tfcos out In front. Such a proceeding baa. of .course Its demerits ss well as Its merits. It Is . more Obvious and .In no wsy So fine as ' the production of the play by tbe i - late Augustln Daly. In Its principal 'characters. It lacks the charm and es 1 qulsite subtle humor which an actress like Miss Rehan and an actor like,' say, : Otis Skinner, were able to give It. Miss 1 Msrlowe's Katharine Is a different . woman from Miss Rehan's. She Is more willful, more perverse. She Inv i presses one aa ha vine: been-a spoiled rJitld and of bavins; grown up a spoiled woman, To put It plainly she needs a spanking. On the contrary Miss Re-! , ran Infused dignity and pride and liau teur into this unfortunate creature. She was not so much waspish ss a woman at cross purposes with, her own better nature.. Her breeding", even her refine ment were nearly always apparent. . She bad your sympathy from the first. , ' Truer .Than A4a Rehan. . , ' -' It cannot be said that Miss' Marlowe's Katharine has your sympathy. - She Is what, if aha were a child, would be ' called -downright bad." There are even ' ' touches tn her actions which suggest thatbe knows she Is bad and glories In It In Miss Rehan's .Interpretation yon are not at all surprised that Kath arine should become gentle. . There were . suggestions of rt from the first In Miss Marlowe's you feel sure that she ean be reformed provided she is taken In ' charge by a band of Iron and beaten Into subjection. The one Is thus a psycho logical lnnefralatioa; the other Is an external reformation, i There la one - ether touch of differentiation. Mlsa Marlowe gives the Impression that while she rages at Petruchio at that first stormy courtship, she secretly admires ' him. Miss Rehan. on the ' contrary. ' " showed an utter contempt for the man. - Tbe possibility for two suOh Inter- . pretatlons exhibits at once both the . strength and weakness of -this play,, If It be Judged on high grounds and by i" absolute standards. Both. Interpreta tions are possible and both are legiti mate. Miss Marlowe's being possibly nearer to the original conception of the character. For after all how much does the author give by way of duel . i J " For example, tn the light of cogency - and eonvtnrlngnees, how are we to be . llevo that Katharine, who bates Petru- rbto so much, -would prepsre herself . for the wedding T DM her fether force her ttf It? . Or was it, ad Miss Mar lowe suggested tn her acting, that at bottom aha really loved' Petruchio? Or wai It in spirit ot revenger or was 5t sfinMy !w"-s" 1 id not do as "Hhe " v d no plot? 1 , i . i 1 unsym the Marquam Tomorrow J ight homage, and ah was deeply touched by the manifestations of affection and In terest, and made -an. impulsive and charm In little speech of thanks In ac knowledgment or the brilliant reception that was tendered her in toe city naii. United States Senator Hale opened the reoentlon . with a. warm speech of welcome, and Eamea. was received with thunderous applause. One of the papers remarked: "Bansor Is a Ion f war from that .Temple of Art In New Tork. but no more devotion could nave been shown her t there than the people of Maine showered upon ' their popular ' sister. There will be a vast crowd tomorrow night ot the' Marquam to welcome thelVlth Its nautch girls dancing-, its curious beautiful soprano on her nrst appear ance here.' and the program she and her gifted associates mill offer Is a marvel of delight. The concert Begins ai naii past .eight at the Marquam, and Is un der the personal direction . . of .. . Lots Steers-Wynn Coman. ., . , y Tte Strew pathetic 'though It la looks most proba- ?Ut Y, t V V. i'i . .x,-. DahrV Version Changed. ; '' y -'f , aw - -,: T-- , -- - whe present production most there fore be taken from Its point of view. a point of view to which It baa a legit imate right And taken in such a light It . Is delightful and infectious. ' It In terests always and delights at momenta If It Is very much on ths surface. It yet has. a frank good, humor ' that - to irre sistible. ! Trken tn this light, too. con ception of-character becomes not only permissible but undoubtedly true. Miss Marlowe, lioldenlsh yet attractive. rweeps one with ber In her very rash ot spirit- As for. Mr. Bothern, he I magnificent, a . blustering brute ap parently on , the surface but with the true gentleman underneath, touching: of I the severity of hie-conduct here and there with bits of tenderness and pathos. An Instance of this Is at his homo after he has. railed at everything and every one, thrown dishes from the table and beaten servants, when , finding himself alone he ratcbes up Katharine's stock ings -which are drying, before the fire and kisses them-.. ! Tbe play Is beautifully staged in eight scenes of considerable - merit and - la handsomely costumed. Ths version ased Is very different from the Daly one em ployed -by Miss Rehan. The entire In troduction, together with the whole Sly Incident, la omitted, . the play opening in a public place In Padua.- a scene which. If memory . serves, wss not tn tbe Daly production, . j -n ,; . Newspapers UnirkrKHy. A word should be said of the criti cisms received. The critics on; the whole have been unusually severe snd neither Miss Marlowe nor Mr.- Bothern has come In for much praise. Ths Sun says that "In the- acting-, the aplrlt of farce was rampant Both Mr. Sothera and Miss Marlowe ' struck at tbe outset a note of extravagance that was to be maintained only by resort to the baldest effects of knockabout comedy.'' The World finds that "Miss Marlowe to the. eye was -a auperb physical em bodiment of the termagant, with flash ing eyes and unrestrained Impetuosity of - manner, but except or betsterousnesf of action sbe did not vividly suggest the rpontaneous perversity of Katharine. Home of her scenes, were played with fine abandon, but it was not SntU the gentler passsges-of the final 'acta that the character took on Its real sympa thetic aspects. Her final speech the teat passage of the play was splendidly rendered." ,. .! N , .. The Times. Is one of tbe few papers which Is favorable and aodatraa that '"Mr. Bothern'e Petruchio' Is superb." Bpeaklnx of Mlas Marlowe It goes on to say: Comparisons . with Miss Rehan are Inevitable, but we -shall bo glad to know In what respect If any. the role suffers ss Miss Marlowe conceives It. There might be more terapostousness. there might be on occasion, a more vio lent spflarlng, but It Is doubtful whether the scenes of ths Shrew's taming have ever been more exquisitely played." A' Matter of Taste. ? ' V; - After - all then (he question resolves Itself Into one of taste end oreferenee. Miss , Rehan's : Interpretation will, for moat of us, be far finer snd greater In every' way, far subtler and better tn its appeal. It la. toov of a character that will last and likely be distinctive and of standard for yeara. In Its way It t mains one of the finest portraitures which our stsge has witnessed. But a word of Justi float Ion can be said for Miss Marlowe and -for ths version, of tile play which sbe and Mr. Sothera are presenting In a really enjoyable way. This production must be viewed from Its own' angle. ; And. as ' said before, the test need not be .violently twisted to justify It. It la not all that ean be read from The Taming o the Bhrew": at least It Is part, of what may and it probably reflects more nearly what Shakespeare had In mind than the other and more sophisticated versions. At the Hippodrome. new spectacle play-was put on at the Hippodrome last Wednesday to take the place of "The Raiders" which occu pied the last It minutes of the perform ance. - It fcs ealled-The Reenanee of Hindoo Prtnoess." Its story, according to the program, has to do with aa East Indian noblewoman, the Princess Sopl- yowlat, daughter of Saujaolle. enrperor of Pabeng. Killer Khan, a daring Marrl chief, seeks the hand of the -fair prin cess n marriage but la rejected la favor of Hit a IaL The emperor proclaims his approval of the marriage and places Its time for' the nest -day. This angers Killer Khan, who resolves to steal the princess. ,. At Vightfall he comes with bis followers,-- mounted upon etepbants, and Succeeds tn taking away" the prin- pursued by " a troop of mounted horsemen under the command of Hlra Be ends the first scene of this romanoe. - - . : , Y . ' - The aeeond scene reveals ths encamp ment during th night, tns arrival of the pursuers, the battle, the rescue of the princess,-the. rout of-Killer Khan snd his cohorts, their flight -up ragged meuntala-alde ".'and - final - desperate plunge, still mounted on their elephants. Into the lake Into which the mammotli stage of the Hippodrome tank has been converted." " . .. V - '" So' says the program, and well It is that It 'noes so, - for It - would be hard to decipher the story otherwise. And why should one care to decipher , ths story f There is t ne reason on earth: For .all the. time' the eye. Is charmed by a perfect -riot of color bad the senses are fairly stunned by the wonder end beauty jof It all. Ooinx again and again to the Hippodrome: only serves to ac centuate, what a wonderful plaee It really it. Nothing even faintly voom parable has been seen la this country., ", --. '.' -. . " -'. - . What Performance Ig Like., - , The present performance consists' of The Yankee Circus xf Mars." with Its magnificent ballets-HMUets which are Color dreams set to 'poetry of motion and with its very excellent circus. There Is about an hour of this circus. There are remarkable equestrienne acts, as novel as they are daring- and beautiful. There are several excellent gymnastic turns. There la a marvelous troupe of girl bicyclists, and . above all, there is Claire Hellot and her trained animals. -, By -the time yon have reached - this point' you feel that nothing.; no matter what eomecv oan any longer- move you. Tet the Hippodrome has more to offer: Tne Romance of of a Hindoo ' Prin cess,' with. Its atmospheric reproduction of an eastern fete day. with Its throngs 9f people.,, Its touches 'of local -color, little carts snd with Its elephants' lif marvelous trappings.. . The thing is ber- bsric, savage yet splendid. Then final ly comes the plunge of' the elephants down the chutes. Into the tank!

It la a part of the primitive socialistic doctrine ot the Calabree, Sicilian and Neapolitans that the rich 'man or tbe prosperous snsn should be forced to di vide with tbe poor. With this moral sophistry small groups of Indolent men. 001a enouga iv rise anyining. ivrmu lnte bands, .as the IUllao baa It. "for getting" money from tbe rich.". ; When the occasional outrages began In New Tork about four years ago the letters were variously signed "The Black Hand." -the Red Brothers." Oa Societa so DettaquentlVetc. 'but the Black Hand as a catch phrase 'of terror took ths lead and la now established. There were probably three or four small bands, each .with Its chief, who held command by right of prowess, all composed of daring uomlnl de atomaco, or men of stomach for bloooy- work." Other sepa rate bands formed, hearing of the suc cess of the pioneers, end gradually these desperadoes came to know one an. other. .' " I . Wherever they went they took their methods with them Into Italian colonies and in a month's time new bands -were springing op all over the country, all loosely connected by the sequaintance sblp of tbeew Tork fugitives. -- Ths 'drawn I skulls. - cressbones and dreadful emblems, the mysterious signs. the 21 wounds found on so many vic tims, the custom of sending warnings and delivering one to ths victim Just be fore he Is killed are alt spectacular and intended to gratify' the Italian dramatic sense ss well ss create an atmosphere of terror. - The other Black Hand processes of sirocco letters, bombs, prepared alibis and the Intimidation of complainants and witnesses are all utilitarian. The band that controls Westchester county has a system of black numbered checks, ons for each member, and If all were put together, I am told, they would form a design. ' Of the Black Hand coda the following little, story of an event hero In New Tork not long since gives an excellent Idea. " The specif to facts cannot be told for obvious reasons: f Two men went to a summer resort near the dty te discuss a grievance. One was the chief, or capo, of ar Black Hand band and the other was the sotto capo, or under chief. They were know tn their neighbors ss men who lived welt, dressed well and had $aoney, yet never worked. - The argument grew heated and the sotto capo dared to shoot his 1 superior j The latter was picked np mid taken1 to a hospital, where ho refused 1 his name, any Information a to how ho got bis wound. .. He was very bsdly hurt. i ' The second day the men of bis band began to come to sea him. ( He ' com manded them to bring Mm? a revolver, which they did. and he hid It onder his pillow. Then he commanded them to find the satte capo and-tell him to come to the hospital to receive his ehlert dying sard o. The eotto capo (fused. , Next the me were ordered to visit htm, end command him to come or ho would he killed by ths first one Of latm that met aim the next day.
