As 4n Disraeli, so now in Paganini, George Arliss, who comes to the Davis theatre Friday evening, May 5th, di- rect from a brilllant Boston engage- ment, depicts a flgure from history. This time the literature of musie, in- stead of that of diplomacy, has been drawn upon for the character of the story. Mr. Arliss’ notable success in his last vehicle has given him the right to undertake the delineation of Paganini, the wizard of the violin, and the author, Edward Knoblauch, is said tn Paganini to have duplicated his Trilliant work in Kismet. My Lady's Dress, Marie Odile and Milestone. Mr. Arliss, it is said, depicts the softer side of Paganini's character. Paganini’s name was once synonymous with hyp- notic power; he was belleved by the superstitious to be in league with the Evil One: his appearance on the street was a signal for the gathering of a mob of the morbidly curious. There was, however, a phase of the great maestro’s life during his stay in Eng- land into which 2 great romance en- tered and it is this period in Paga- rinf’s life that Mr, Knoblauch has se- lected for his comedy. The Paganini of the play is an eccentric genius, but he shows himself to be possessed of a fine, generous nature. He exhibits hu- man faults and human virtues and the role is said to afford Mr. Arliss large opportunities for the exercise of his wonderful artistry. The main theme of the piece is a love story. An in- genuous young English girl yields to a blind and soulful adoration for a mu- sical genius. She becomes infatuated with the great artist and throws aside her flance, a young English officer, to follow what she believes to be the true of her heart. ' She follows Paga: to the continent. How Paga- Ini meets the situation and finally sets the young girl on the path of true happiness forms the climax of story. The fire of the genius, his oddi- ties of manner and thought, the ec- centricities of his personal appearance are blended, it is said, into a finely- wrought characterization by Mr. ‘Ar- liss. Miss Margery Maude, young and talented daughter of Cyril Maude, has the role of the English gir], and others Repton, Rosina Henley, Dudley Digges, Dion_Titheradge, Charles Harbury, Ed. gar Kent, Tred Nicholls and Noel Tearle. Seats are now on sale at the box office. EXPERIENCE COMING TO DAVIS For Two Nights, Monday and Tuesday, May 15 and 16. Manager Al Craig of the Davis thea- tre announces that arrangements have been made with Willlam Eiliott, F. Ray Comstock and Morris Gest for the engagement of the most wonderful play In America, George V. Hobart's Experi- ence. The engagement will be for two nig("htls. Monday and Tuesday, May 15 and 16. The engagement will be of unusual importance, as the famous New York- Boston Experience organization comes to Norwich direct from nine months in New York and five months in Boston. (Experience is called by the critics the sensational success.of this gen- eration. The play shows Youth going forth into the world with Pxperience by his side as his best teacher and this allegorical romance with its scenes laid in New York is one of the strong- est and most powerful of sermons and a play which, after all, is one of the livellest and most entertaining “girl” shows imaginable. In selecting the various temptatio: ‘which confront Youth. Mr. Hobart has decided to have them portrayed by beautiful women, in their loveliness. maiden: Passicn is a beautiful Oriental girl, ‘and the role of Pleasure is filled comedy running half houp. The act has just finished a long tour of the leading vaudeville hauses throughout the west and is without question oné of the best acts of its kind on the road. Other acts for the last half of the week will be Ruth Belmer, a wonderfully fine slack Wire performer, and Beth Andrews, a dainty singing comedienne, On_the picture program for today the Hor- rors of War, taken on the French Bat- 1] tle front, will be the feature attrac- tion and the Pathe comedy, Tinker- ing ‘With Trouble, will be shown. The Paramount feature for Friday and Sa.tlurda.g of thlutWDek wfl]r:a a flv"- reel production of Denman Thompson's The Old Homestead, the greatest sin- gle triumph of the American stage. The picture will be presented by Dan- iel Frohman and the cast is headed by Frank Losee. Lewis Gagel, the New Haven boy who has been serving at the front in France for more than a year and about whom The Bulletin had an interesting account yesterday morning, has béen e to lecture at the Auditorium theatre for two days with pictures taken on the French firing line. This extra attrac- tion will take place in about two ;veek.u. the exact date to be announced ater. Coming to Davis Theatre, The New Henrietta. Joseph Byooks has employed a good many actors in his days of manage- ment, now summing up a period of over forty years, and has always had the fellowship spirit of the old school which knit players and managers to- gether like bonds of blood. He has produced more dramas written by Americans than any other native, and Iin the long list are some that have added to the dignMy and honor of our stage bevond all precedent. 1t was Mr. Brooks who inspired the dramatization of Ben Hur and direet. ed the triumphal tours of the specta cle. He also brought together the fa- mous company of dramatic stars that toured the larger cities in a revival of Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s com- edy classic, The Rivals. In this his- toric performance were Jefferson, Florence, Crane, Tabor, Goodwin, Wil- son, E. M. and Joseph Holland, Julia Marlowe, Mrs. John Drew and Fanny ce. He now has underway another revi- val, Bronson Howard’s delightful play, The Henrietta, with William H. Crane, Thomas W. Ross, Maeclyn Ar- buckle, Amelia’ Bingham and Edith Taliaferro—all stars—in the interpre- ting cast. He was the original pro- ducer of this vigorous and fascinat- ing piece, and was the cause of its being written for Robson and Crane. It is a mistake for actors of na- tional fame to serve the movies. They are tempted for a picture by the bait of big money, and for a few weeks’ salary of unnatural amount, their name, face and manner are the selling property of the wise film -. Later When the actor is starred in an origi- nal play at a legitimate theatre, he is confronted by a crazy quilt of posters blazing the fact that he may be seen in his greatest success for ten cents at 2 neighborhood house. This amounts to saying that he is on the down grade as an actor and is/sure to flatten the res\;lt of his business on a two dollar s. That situation is also sure to shave s salary where he made his success, and depreciation in the high priced theatre takes the bloom off of his peach as a seller in the moving pie- ture fleld. Further, the men who lead in the moving picture world are mnot apt to keep up the abnormal salaries they have been giving to certain ac- tors, once the edge is off the novelty of the distinguished name, and the plays of strong appeal because of suc- cess in the legitimate theag'es are running low. Then the actor will be and a between two stones of rej his income is as sure to wither as s green tree in a drought. The New Henrietta will be the at- traction at the Davis theatre, Wed. nesday evening, May" 10. sale Saturday, May 6. Séats on A ROSE O’ PLYMOUTH TOWN.
