A few minutes later, one of them usually | appeared and induced the merchant to | sign an innocent-looking certificate ‘as | to the moral character of the Bulletin, | also announcing their willingness to | have a few good things said in its | columns ccncerning their business. | The next thing the merchants knew, after the publication of many badly written , was the presentation of a bill for es rendered at the rate of a dollar per line.

SILL A LAMB | [S BERTIE | |Stuart Robson Laughs at Years in “The Hen- rietta.” | | Mrs. Robson Did Well, but Others Lacked So- phistication. Too, Novelties at the Orpheum and a New Morosco Piece—Same Old | Bills Elsewhere. { | I wonder what Stuart Robson would | | do for a whole season without having | | the part of Bertie the Lamb in “The | | Henrietta” to fallbackon? Iwonderstill | |ing a contemporary flavor Mr. Robson and Mrs. Robson were the heart of the fun last night; the company did not play with the fine agreement that was so notable last week in “The Jucklins.” In faet, I shculd say that most of the members of the company find the happiest vent for their talents in a less urban type of comedy than “The Henrietta” pre- tends to be. At this o'clock Bronson Howard’s masterpiece is not only old, but old fashioned. It abounds in the leng-lost Soliloquy, the significant ‘Aside and many other parts of play that are modernly achaic rather than anciently classical. And when a com- pany works these tricks of yesterday for all they were worth in that yester- day the result is not valuable. Na- ture has not changed much since the inception of “The Henrietta,” but art has, considerably; and instead of giv- to the stock-ticker, the telephone and the other metropolitan touches—social and commercial—of the play, Mr. Robson's company is inclined to make them out to be as obvious and cut and dried as hackneyed melodrama. As a play of modern interest “The | Henrietta” needs gilding and over- | valuing on the part of its actors. Last | night neither Miss Gertrude Perry as | Lady Trelawney, nor Miss Lida Mc- | Millen as Mrs. Vanalstyne, nor Edwin Holt as the doctor, nor Joseph Keefe | as the minister, nor John Webster Jr. performance at Morosco’s last night. The play has sufficient of the comedy element to excite the approval of the audience, and the several serious secenes awaken the usual Morosco enthusiasm.

And the enthusi- | asm did not die out, but increased with | each succeeding picture and story, until the last act found the audience wildly excited and obliged to bite the lips for fear of breaking into the familiar pa- triotic songs. | Each plcture in itself was a master- | plece. The tone, the atmosphere of the period was perfectly represented. After each curtain one recovered with a start and came back to the commonplaces of this young year of '88. Dramatically the pageant was divided into three acts. The first represented the picturesque as well as the stern realities of colonial days. In act two the period of the Revolution was graphically pictured, ending with a picture of dazzling splendor, “The Peace Ball.” | Act three covered the Civil War and | prcughnt the pageant to a close with an | inspirmg picture of womaa ‘n the | ous positions she comt ing nineteenth centurv. With unusnal facility and remarkahla grace the pa. ticipants lent themselvas to the garb customs of those other da The social butterfly lengthened his debon face and assumed the mien with the garb of the stern Puritan fathers. Pretty misses looked prettier and more bewitch- ing still in the kirtle and bodice of the | early seventeenth century, and belles and beaux alike were dazzlingly splendid in | the rustling brocades, the costly face, the | glittering jewels and powdered coiffures | that made the “peace ball” the | elaborate picture of all. Among tures that found more than espec was the picturesque reproductfon of the | Colonial Home in the picture, *“W: in Old Plymouth.” Next in favor the Maypole dance by a band of merry young nd then the ever-popul courtship of Miles Standish.

SKIN SCAL The | more what “The Henrietta” would do without Mr. Robson? Robson and Ber- tie have become the blood and bone of | each other. They have weathered many | a wintry season. They have grown old together. It seemed to me, in the Baldwin Theater last night, that Mr. Robson had the best of it in the race of years. He was old, palpably old; yet, with something akin to the simulative skill that enables a young actor to suggest a part of years, Mr. Robson, in the limitations of his all but three score, suggested the callow, irresponsible youth of Bertie. It was a common enough phase of character-acting—only it was the ccmmon phraseinverted; and to me it was quite wonderful. Of course the part belongs to Mr. Robson by all the ties and traditions of the stage, and if he is spared to be a centenarian, T am sure that he will still stick to Bertie and still find people who will accept him as the punctual identi- ty of the part. But apart from super- | stition and sentimentality, his acting of it is still the best of eccentric charac- terization as well as a brilliant triumph over Time. Even if “The Henrietta” is a play Por always—which it is not— there need be no immediate anxiety about finding the successor of Stuart Robson. Age does not tarnish the metallic charm of his voice, nor re- stiffen the engaging angularity of his gestures, nor sog his gently comical spirits—he was made in a peculiar mold, and made to last. \ as the bad son, did 1 anything to. o) their respective ch: € to. keep aracters above the merest puppetry. Harrison Armstrong | was hugely incompetent to piay the caricature of the English lord. Edna Brothers was Agnes \\'Xfllldu sweet ingenuousness, and Lewis Carpenter did a fairly good bit as the old clerk. Mrs. Robson was delightful as the widow. The part is not above the talents of May Irwin, and in more things than embonpoint Mrs. Robson is forunate enough to suggest that sur- passing farce comedienne. Miss _AS STEVENS. AT THE ORFHEUM. The present week at the Orpheum bids fair to attract larger crowds than' the theater can accommodate.

The acrobatic work of the Farnum broth- ers is new and is an evidence of skiil and cleverness that has seldom been seen in this part of the country. Probably the smoothest plece of work, and at the same time the most pleasing on this week's bill is the “New Year's Dream,” bly Patrice and her company.
