At the time “Diplomacy” was all the rage. This same play revived by the Walter Naylor players has lost none of its charm though hidden from the public here for all these vears. It was re- vived two years ago by William Gil- lette at the Empire theater in New York. It has never been played in New Britain during the quarter of a century. It may never be put on *here again for twenty-five vears to come, or, uiitil the Lyceum celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of its opening. Miss Virginia Perry, as the Countess Zicka has a role that is exceedingly difficult to play, but she presents a true picture of the cunning adven- turess who causes so much trouble through the entire four acts of this old time drama. Miss Dorothea Antel is playing the ingenue lead, the part of “Dora” which old time theater goers will remember was played here at the opening of the Lyceum by Miss Sadieg Martifiot, one of the cleverest actresses in America during that per- actress In America during that period. The part played by Miss Perry is that which Rose Coghlan created in the premier performamce of the play written by Victorien Sardou. The play as presented at the Lyceum is from the script owned by William Gillette. Smythe Wallace a new member of the Naylor Players is playing the lead this week. He has the romantic part of Captain Julian Beauclere, a dash- ing young diplomat whose love for “Dora’” suffers many misgivings be- cause of the machinations of the Countess Zicka. Henri, the brother of Julian, is a part that demands the highest form of histrionic ability. This is all personified in the person of Philip Quin who plays the part wonderfully well. Ralph Murphy plays the unfortunate Count Orloff, a Russian nobleman who suffers also at the hands of the Countess. There is perhaps no better charac- ter acting than that which distin- guishes the work of Miss Margie Do This week Miss Dow plays the Mar- quise de Rio Zares, one that calls for all the wiles of stagecraft. The scenery used throughout the play is perhaps the best ever presented be- fore a Lyceum audience. The settings are superb. The gowns worn by the ‘women are tasteful and well chosen. All in all, “Diplomacy” is presented by the Naylor players with a finish that marks it as a real work of art. entire “MELTING MILLIONS” / AT FOX'S THEATER George Walsh in “Melting Millions headlines the Fox tonight Mr, Walsh has a part that just suits him in a great' comedy drama. “Melt- a big production program ing Millions” s , | One hig scene shows the Yale Bowl | and gridiron. packed with thousands of people the teams in action on the There is a good ring scene and the audience is permitted to the star bout which ends in a knock out. Walsh and Fairbanks of the same type, both athletés and full of fight. They do a lot of climbing and jumping during the action of the play that lends many laughs and much interest to any of their produc- tions. Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bavne in the sixth chapter of “The Gfeat Secret”” are on the pro- gram with two full reels of thrills. The Fox film comedy “The Bon Bon Riot” and the Hearst--Pathe news complete the program, On Friday and Saturday the feat- ure western drama in twelve reels, “Ramona,” a romance of California by Helen Hunt Jackson. ‘“Ramona’ is the biggest picture of any kind that was ever made. Classified as a west- ern production it out-shines afiything ever before conceived of. Donald Crisp, director of the production, di- rected several of the most brilliant battle scenes In “The Birth of a Na- tion.” In Los Angeles where this new film sensation was first launched on its public exhibition career, more than 200,000 people paid admission to see it during its run of ten weeks, which broke all records for Californi theaters. There will be a special mat- inee for the children Saturday after- noon at 12:30.
