IHK CONSPICUOUS feat a re of the
week in theatrical circle waa
th presentation of "Shannon of
the Birth" by th Baker stock
company. It waa conspicuous
and somewhat Important for the reason
that th play had never before bean of
fered In the wast. It is also th first
time th Baker company has attempted
a play that la not what might be termed
Standard. ..,. -
Th presentation, if th truth ts told,
mnst ba described as a failure, perhaps
the most pronounced failure of th sea
son for th Baker eompany. During a
pnenomlnally successful season, when
crowded- bouses bar attended almost
every performance, it must have been
quit a surprise to members of the
Baker eompany to play to empty seats.
The fallur waa nndoubtedly due to
th play, and not to the players. How
ever, th players themselves must have
realised that th pier was not giving
the nsual amount of satlaf action and
- become -disheartened, for -no Individual
member appeared to specially good ad
vantage, i Polished ' and finished actor
that he la. Mr. Baums failed to portray
the character of Shannon as the hero
that th author of th piece must sure
ly bar Intended.
There baa been no explanation of why
such an unfortunate selection, was made.
Perhaps it was Intended as a ootnpll
mentary tribute to the descendants of
the Phoenicians for the week of their
patron saint; perhaps there may have
been other reasons. At any rate, from
t the atandpolnt of the patrons, the piece
waa unsatisfactory, ana by no meena uc
. te the standard that Baker petrena have
been led to expert.
But the piece la the only failure the
Baker eompany has scored this season,
The experlenne may have good results.
The bill for this week will likely make
up for any deficiencies of the one Just
ended. '
At the ether stock theatres business
Til good and fairly satisfactory plays
were offered. The Empire gave Its pat
Tons the opportunity of eeelng ."The
Xing of Tramp," which left a good
Impression.
"The Virginian" at the Ilelllg was
gives ait enthuslastle reception and
played te crowded houses at every per
formance. During the latter part of the
week Mlsa Roeelle Knott played to fair
)y good houeee In " Alice-81 t-by-t he
Ura." The play la a charming piece of
comedy, though Miss Knott's Interpre-
tatlAa of the title Thararter waa not

of the San Carlo Opera eompany at the
Helllr . It is the biggest organisation
in a muaicarway that has vr been sent

Thursday night. March ttth, at the
Helllg. "The Tenderfoot" la one of
the few musical comedies that has
weathered th ravages of time, and la
still a great drawing card. The muslo
Is decidedly catchy and the Unas very
clever; .consequently It should not be
a matter of surprise that the production
acta Ilk a magnet. i
Oscar L. Firman who was eminently
successful In the title role of the "Bur-
a-omaater" a few years ago, end who is

Miss Ruth White, who aa Marion

Charles B. Hanford Coming.
Mr. Charles B. Hanford, whose ap
pearance as Msre Antony In "Julius
Caesar" at the Helllg theatre Monday
night, April 1, will rank aa one of the
most interesting and Important eventa
of the current theatrical season, la by
nature aa well es by training singular
ly adapted to the role which be portrays
in this great drama of statesmanship.
Hanford ia an actor who deanlte hla
many successes in light comedy Is un
questionably one of the foremoet Inter
preters of the declamatory school, now
4efore the American public. , He la dis
tinctly of the oratorical type. , On who
professes to read character by outward
physical Indications will see something
more than mare coincidence in Mr.
Hanford'e startling resemblance to the
great modern orator William Jennings
Bryan. Thla production of Jullua Cae
sar" will be a revival In the correct
sense of the word, for It waa as Mare
Antony that Mr. Hanford years ago
stepped from obscurity to stellar emi
nence aa a supporting actor In the com',
pany of Booth and Barrett . .
Mr. Hanford purchased the ' scenery
and oostumee of that production from
the estate of Lawrence Barrett, and
these form the basis of the elaborate
sod historically accurate representation
now offered. Mr. Hanford will present
for his opening bill Sunday night, March
tl. "Cymbellne." The aeat eele opena
Friday, March tl. at the box office of

Blanche Walsh in The Straight Road,
When- ' theatre-goers f see Blanche
Walsh in the newest Clyde Fitch play.
"The Straight Road." at the Helllg thea
tre April . I and . with a matinee
Saturday, It will be Interesting for them
to remember that a peculiar accident
came very near depriving the etage of
thla Dtav. Sometime before its produc
tion the only manuscript waa eent to
Mies Walsh, when shs was in a south
ern city. Msnagera Wsgenhals Kem
per were surprised when In a very few
dnys this manuscript was returned, with
the following letter from Mlas Walsh.
"Now that It la all over and the
manuscript Is in. your hands, I want you
to know that you came near having no
play. Three daya after I received It
we were in a ' railroad accident. It
couldn't have been much for news as
It did not get outside the state. But It
did damsge the ear and there was some
fire. When It waa over I looked with a
feeling of Joy at the manuscript, which
I had clutched when I got out of the
oar. To nr emssemsnt an act was
missing,,, My leading man, In manu
script form, and that charming MIsS
Thompson were in that burned eoach, I
scrambled to the rescue of the couple.
They were Soiled a bit hut unhurt,

now, only duplicate manuscripts ars

"An Man Sows" at the Baker.
Think over thla plot and consider the
opportunities for fine portrayal of tha
different characters and emotions; It Is
the motif of this week's Baker produc
tion. "As Man Sows." .

daughter of a poor minister la a quiet
village in Wales and marries her. Aft
erward, being in straitened circum
stances, he bitterly regrets the mar
riage, though bla wife is faithful. He
deserts wife and baby and marries an
other woman. - , ; ,
After 3 year the son of tha first
wife and the daughter of the seoond
wire meet ana rail in love.. Then a
mother's vengeance becomes the lead'
Ing feature of the play, and tha heart
strings are played upon with a master's
band. At last, through the repentance of
the erring husband, all ends happily, so
that there la not the slightest sugges
tion of a bad Uate In the mouth.
"Xs a Man Sows" opens this afternoon
at the Baker. Matinee next Saturday.
