^ J--".
The company to ?ie ?*.<ii\ in the sup?
port of William H. Crane In the new
comedy, "The American Lora." dt the
Academy tonight, contains a number
of very clever actors. Every member
of the c?.st was engaged for his or
her special adaptability for the work
ao that they would'all tit into the!
scenes and situations with artistic. |
neatness and skill. At the very first!
rending of the play some months be?
fore the production was made several
Jictors ami actresses suggested them-'
selves te Charles Frohman's Judge?
ment as beintr extremely well quali?
fied Tor ceitain parts in the comedy,
lie immediately engaged them. The
new loading woman of the company
is Miss Hilda Spong, a handsome Eug
llsh actress, who is not unknown here.
Miss Spong has been In this coun
i ry scvet al seasons and has done a lot
Of clever work. In Mr. Crane's new
play she is cas'. as a good' naturell
young lri?h widow and has scored
a decided hit in the character. Oeorge
1C. Bidden plays the part of a dignified
English lord in fine contrast to the
Bluff and energetic Western man who
is made a lord in spite of himself. El

record breaking house.
Pleased the Audience.
"A Sen Of Rest." with William
Swor in the title role, pleased a large
audience at the Academy last night. I
The shew seemed to satisfy the en?
tire house und It literally set the gal?
lery wild. . *
A bunch of sprightly girls, beauti?
ful costumes and good stage settings
carry the piece. Swor is funny in a
coarse, sort of way. but he should have
kept on being. "The Scarecrow," for
the peculiar contortions of face and
body he used so effectively in portray,
ing that character seem to be about
all that he knows.
All of the principals were just good
enough not. to be very bad. The
chorus was well trained, could sing
and was worthy of better headlined.
"The Player Maid."
Miss Florence Davis, who appeared
in this city last season in "The Player
Maid" will be seen here again tomor?
row night.
Miss Davis leaves the Hudson
theatre; New York, to visit some of
the Southern cities. She has been
called one of the most promising
young B'.ars on tho American stage.

Davis has been justly earned. She
began at the lowest rung of the thea?
tre ladder and studied diligently while
she i layed her first small parts in
various companies under the direction
< f Charles Frohnian end other im?
portant New York managers. The
large audiences '.bat have attended
the pcrformr.ncea of "The Player
Maid" is the host endorsement for

play has to do with the theatre, al
wnys a fascinating subject to the gen.
era) public.

liott Dexter, scenery and effects, as
presented at the Hudson theatre. Now

comic opera success, "The Geisha."
, "The Geisha," like the Gilbert and

Is one of those tuneful effervescent,
and chic musical productions that
never fall to pleace and leave the
auidtur In a happy frame of mind on
the Hnal drop of the curtain on the
'finale, which accounts for its phenoni
inal success wherever presented.
In "The Geisha" the lest Is consist?
ent, and the novel numbers are intro?
duced in such an agreeable manne:-,
while .he music Is more than superior
to the great majority of musical pro?
ductions of the present.
I There are few traveling organiza?

His corned" i" of the legitimate
school, free from the slapstick and
knock-about order Ihftt contaminates
most farce* of tods". "The Woman
Hater" is one if those delightful
fatces that is fresh in comedy, rich
in repartee and clever in its construc?
tion. It affords Mr. Bercsford ample
opi Jrtunlty to display his methods and
