Fisher; Lotus Rood, Marie Carroll
Kenneth Thomson, Fred5 Eric,: Ger
aid . Rogers, George Tawde and
Herbert Belmore, i . .
.These "players ? have combined
for a tour of the United States in
honor of the 150th anniversary of
tthe original production., of the
-play, which is one of, the three of
its . period, having the ' vitality ;. to
survive. It not only -pictures the
: maimers ef the day in which Sheri

Mrs. Fiske, as airs. Malaprop, is
filling a lifelong ambition to ap
pear In this role and her perform
ance is In every respect equal to
what could be expected of an art
1st that, has endeared herself to
the theater public in a stage life1
that is too well known to need re
view. - - ".
Mr. Olcott Is a native of Buffalo,
- and made his first appearance at
the Academy of Music in that city
as a ballad " singer "In '1 8tt0. "After
.ten years in such pieces as 'Pe-
plta.", and "The Old Homestead."
he devoted himself to light opera;
appearing in a number, of the Gil
bert and Sullivan pieces, with ex
tended engagements' in "Pinaf ore'
and "The Mikado."- Mr. . Olcott
then went to London, and contin
ued the study of music "under Hoi
land and Randegger. 1 He had sev-
deral seasons in London then; re
turned to the United States, tour
Jng in "Mavourneen." That was
the 'beginning of his association
with Irish parts. Mr. Olcotfs fame
In the theater rests not only upon
the quality of his, singing veice,
but also upon the charm, of his
impersonation ot the swaggering
jaunty, care-free Irishman, exem
J pllf led best of All , in - Sir Lucia?
O'Trigger.
Thomas A. Wise, who plays the
Vrole of Sir Anthony, Absolute has
been associated with many of the

Wrong Mr. Wright," "Are You a
Mason?" "The Prince Chap "Mr
Hook of Holland," "The Gentle
man from Mississippi," "Mr.. Bar-
nom" "Cappy Ricks," "The Old
Soak," ''Three Wise Fools." A
few years ago Mr. Wise had a tri
umph as Falstaff In "Merry Wives
of Windsor." ! Thus his appear
ance in "The Rivals" signalizes his
return to the field of old English
comedy. . ; "
Mr. Powers will be remembered
in the all-star production of '.'Out
There" which toured the United
States in 1917. That play, also

Wrote Walt Whitman, and RoIk
ert Keable, one of the genera
tion's most eagerly read novelists,
made an engrossing, story of the
idea. In choosing his characters
he chose oddly for names and
widely for a locale. Placing his
half-caste heroine, in the Pacific
Islands, and bestowing on her the
connatlve - ''Numerous- Tireasare'l
as a name, the author makes her
"as inevitable as a process of na
ture.". "Given the soil t and ' the
seed and the .weather," the author
says, "the palm grows.. Given the
tornado . . . the palm Is - de
stroyed. ' . - ." As consistently
unconventional as '.Treasure" Is,
she Is not shocking to those who
have v read broadly. She Is only
what she is child of the primitive
Isle;; and her influence is only
what It must 'be. The way she
brought-her "associates to a reali
zation of -her inevitable status
among them makes up the fund of
the story, a readible story that
moves quickly, ?
daughter of an Englishman and a
Porno squaw whose i assets from
her father mate but: poorly -with
the- ingrained inheritance . her
mother has given her. She is
more, inharmonious to those about
her than the rankest discord in
color and sound. -' She is that
greatest. atrocity of all;'' the dls-
cord of two races. ; The story,- viv
id and fluent in diction, is saturat
ed with drama and passion that is
patterned through, every page as
only a saving artist knows how to
do It. The problem of the breed
has been considered, from one side
or the other, In numbers of books.
