It applaud- ed the actor with the warmest and most Insistent cordiality, apparently with the purpose of calling forth a speech whose lines would unques- tionably have been a relief to the drift of the Tom Cushing effort. But Mr. Skinner adorns the stage with his talents and ability as & player and not for oratorical purposes. _Anything from the pen of the dis- tinguished Spanish author, Ibanez, is very likely to attract wide attention, because his “Four Horsemen of the which an almost un- , is still fresh in the pub- “Blood and Sand” will not add laurels to the dramatist, but it will increase the admiration for the motion picture director. With a cast of twenty-eight char-' acters and additional impersonators of picadors, banderillros, mozos, at- tendants, peasants, etc., the play un- folds in four acts the story of a man whose parents wisely wanted to make | an honest cobbler, but who left home ; and, after an apprenticeship in the Spanish abattoirs, where he learned veloped into a bullfighter, the na- ti i Valn to in idol of his country. ing between the glory of future victories and the fear of death, but physically a human picture of the magnificent animal it was his profession to slay, he attracts the attention of one Dona Sol, a harpy of the nobility. Three days of unrestrained indul- gence and she casts hiln aside. Un- done by the ‘reaction, he \agaln enters the ring and his leg is broken by an infuriated bull. After three months of suffering in bed, physical and mental, over the tragedy of what he calls his love, impatiently he bids his own child sever the bandages that bind his broken limb and almost in the instant of a promise to his faith- ful and adoring wife that he will never re-enter the ring again he flies to Madrid and meets his fate on the horns of an animal which M declares ;ri'(h"his dying breath “did not play alr. Such is the story as unfolded by Tom Cushing's play. In the realistic impersonation of Juan Gallardo, the bullfighter, Mr. Skinner's superb art manifests itself in almost illimitable opportunities. He does not act the part; he lives it with thrilling intensity. Catherine Calvert ite personal charm conscientious effort, seemed scarcely to attain the author's ideal. But as Rosario, the wife of Gallardo, now embraced and loved, now shoved e, then deserted and finally mis- ken for the human vampire who had upplanted her, even in his last mo- ment on earth, Madeline Delmar achieved a suc that entitles her to share honors with the distinguished star.
