uable addition to building material. |
It has been In use In this country
only since 1901, when the first. Amer-v
lean plant wns established. During'

been recognized to such an extent
that number of plants has grown to

fine, buildings have boon constructed
with this material.
Where Clay Is Scarce.

brick will never displace burned clay
brick entirely In localities where clay

that the now brick can successfully
compete with the old in quality, ap?
pearance and coBt. Tho special field

small, but thoroughly appreciative

The cast supporting Mrs. Cook this
season is, with one exception, a cap
ahle and well balanced one and the
Btage settings and scenery are in
keeping with tho remainder of the
production. The work of Miss Edith

tho most Important characters in the
play, I? a keen disappointment. Al?

"The Prince of Pilsen.''
Tonight "The Prince of Pilsen"
comes to the Academy of .Music again
and. judging from various favorable
newspaper comments, Manager Sav?
age Is not allowed the Prince to feel
his age. Following Ib what the Nor?
folk Vlrginlan-Pllot had to say yes?
terday :
"Mr. .less Dandy came before the
footlights at the Academy or Music
last night in "The Prince of Pilsen," It
was the 1,001 time he had donned
the role of Hans Wagner, the Zinzln
naty brewer.
"There was a large audience pres?
ent to witness the opening of Mr.
Dandy's engagement here and the
fact he has been seen in Norfolk of?
ten before In the same role didn't
seem to detrnct one bit from the
pleasure the audience derived.
"Tho Prince of Pilsen is as fresh
and fuscinaling In its music and hu?
mor now as it was the first night it
came here, when Camille Clifford,
who is a real countess in dear old
England now, sang the part of the
Norfolk girl in the 'Song of the Ci?
ties.'
"Tho scenery and costumes are
bright, and clear, as all of Henry W.
Savage's production accessories aro.
and the chorus Is good.
"Of course, Mr. Dandy is funny.
That's understood, and Pauline Guz?
man, as the gay widow Crocker, is a
fascinating widow indeed.
"All of the audience was glad to
see Jeanette Bageard again in the role
of Sldonle, the little r'tench maid.
There Is no one who can sing 'Keep
It Dark' just like Miss Bageard does.
"Tho entire company is good and
the Heidelberg song and 'Pictures' in
Smoke' were well rendered by George
Lydecker, as Carl Otto, the real
prince."'
"Strongheart."
Robert Edeson, whose popularity in
"Soldiers of Fortune'' and "Hanson's
Folly", has made his visits to every
city an event of genuine interest to'
theatregoers, will be seen here
tomorrow night at the Academy in
his lntcst success "Strongheart." n
new play of college lifo by William
C. De Mille.
As Strongheart, Mr. Edeson will be
seen in a role unlike any In which
ho has previously appeared, in fact,
thlB In the first instance in which
a college bred Indian has been se?
lected as the dominant figure of a dra
ma. The author has selected nn
equally unusual environment for his
four acts, Columbia University. He
has pictured college breezlness. ten?
der with sentiment. He hns Intro?
duced ns an exciting dramatic epi?
sode in the play, a football game,
the result of which forms nn in) port
ant part in the development of the
story.
Mr. Edeson with a carefully select?
ed compnny and nn elnborale scenic
equipment will present "Strong
heart" precisely as given at the Hud?
son and Savoy theatres In New York
and at the Park Theatre in Boston.
