"We Are King."
A. W. Cross Is presenting three or
four plays this season that have
scored all sorts of success. He has
The Bishop" and "We Are King,"
the latter being the bill at the Star
this week. The leading part Is play
ed by Edmund Carroll, who support
ed Walter Whiteside last season in
this play and who makes quite as
much of the dual part as did White
side. The Raven, a mysterious man
In black, Is played by Guy B. Kibbe,
a Portland boy.
"We Are King" Is one of the best
and cleanest comedies seen In Port
land for a long, long time and while
having a suspiciously close resemb
lance to "The Prisoner of Zenda,"
is yet different enough to save a
charge of plagarlsm. A wandering
newspaper correspondent Is found In
the grounds of a tyrannical and des
potic king of a small North German
state, and a scheme Is hatched up to
exchange places with the king by
his premier and other members of
the court. The correspondent en
ters Into the conspiracy with great
enthusiasm and until he gets the
hang of being a king makes some of
the most ludicrous mistakes imag
Rglnuble. In the meantime the for
mer king languishes In an asylum
and as there Is a striking resem
blance between the two men it Is not
d'.flieult for the nrrh conspirators to
Keep him there under the announce
ment that he has un hallucination
that he Is the king, which of cu-.iiso
ho Is.
The company is excellent, the
stage settings adequate and in one
scene elaborate and altogether "We
Are King" Is put on and acted in a
manner one expects at the high
priced theatres.
Probably, however, some of the
midlence felt they were being
cheated with only a single pistol
shot during the whole performance.
