* THEATRICAL ?
Although "The Squaw Man" is a
rather unsatisfactory sort, of play andj
not the kind that would be expecterJ'
to appeal strongly to tho average
American theatregoer, one might en?
joy it In a hair hearted sort of way if
presented by a capable cast. The
play as produced at the Academy of
Music last night was a decided dis?
appointment to the greater portion of
tho large audience gathered in the
play house.
The work of Mr. Henry Jewell, a
Shakespearian actor of sterling
WOr;th, fell far short of the expecta?
tions of many in the house who had
seen and enjoyed his work In the
support of Miss Viola Allen in the
"Winter's Tale." produced at the
Academy of Music two years ago.
Mr. .lowott does not seem to fill the
requirements of tlie title role and ap?
parently is out of his line In this
class of work.
Tho company with which Liebler
& Company has surrounded Mr. .low?
ott is not an exceptionally strong
one, .to say the least. Miss Edith
Cart.wright. east In one of the leading
feminine roles .appears awkward and
out of place on the stage and reads
her lines with absolutely no expres?
sion.
Probably the most pleasing work
was done by Charles Chapello as Ilig
Rill, foreman of tihe camp of "The
Squaw Man." Miss Minnie Vtctoraori
also did good work aisi Xat-U-Rich
wli'e of the Squaw Man.
