Hillary Bell has this to say in the New York press, apropos of a cheap Cyrano production: “Why ‘Cyrano de Bergerac, whose chief charm is its simplicity of ro- mance, should be considered a fitting at- MANHATTAN QLUMBIA - AL gt ) I ¢ il m, s /s TR traction in the Bowery, feverish and unhealthy, is a managerial mystery beyond telling. Rostand's drama was never intended for and never can be properly applied to the entertainment of an audience which is not susceptible to the noetry of life; and the story must be treated with care by the actors. and thoughtful consideration by the specta- tors in order to arrive at success. The contention of this journal, put forth when the play was first produced, was, and still is, that *C * like Audrey, In the “owery it is treated with derision, and Augustin Daly’s production raised such a storm in the newspapers that .hat Ten- Kell's | | ana knightly hero'respectively, had quar- | reled and were about to part, each turns whose tastes are | ‘When he is humorous he belongs to a | ager will hardly venture the Rostand play | during his coming season at the home the- ater. nosed man has an effective way of re- ‘As in his dramatie history the long- | venging himself upon those who take lib- | erties with him.

But, Cyrano casts some occult and malign fluence Over tamperers with his dignity, and the fortune which has attended him in apparently | Paris and London_with Coquelin follows Mansfield in New York, but is opposed to | other actors who have not observed simi- lar respect for his speech or personaitt On his return home Mr. Daly will revive Shakespeare instead of Rostand, and give us the big-nosed man of Venice instead of the big-nosed man of Paris. There is no sign of longevity In the Bowery produc- tion, and probably the enterprising Mr. Brady may hesitate before sending out his projected companies. From the furor aroused by its production in England and France, it was believed that *“Cyrano’ possessed the cosmopolitan qualities of ,”" but the play had no sooner been done the best possible style at the Gar- den than it became apparent that Rostand was caviare to the general. ‘“‘Cyrano de Bergerac” belongs to Richard Mansfield in this country as much as if he beld the rights o 1t. and though he cannot protect the play in law, it Is self-defensive be- cause unintelligible to other audiences than those that form his following.” The following estimate of Henry Arthur Jones and his comedy, “The Liars,” which John Drew is playing in New York, is written by the critic of the Commer- cial Advertiser: That “The Liars” will run successfully for some time there is little doubt. The causes are visible to the naked eye and they will not make a pessimist of any one who was not one before. Henry Arthur Jones is what tmsympa- thetic people call a Philistine. As Vol- taire might have said, a Philistine is one of the most useful animals in this best of all possible worlds. He often has a good heart, tears moisten his eyes at the sight of virtue, and he works with regu- larity, reacting exactly at the pull of fil\'en strings. . On these strings Mr. enry Arthur Jones keeps his hands, not because he is a cynic, and knows that in such manner shall he achieve success, but because he is that kind of a useful animal himself. He never gets over the heads of any of us. Certain statements have been proved humorous by_the experience of centuries. From those Mr. Jones selects his jok Certain situations succeed upon the stage every year of the century. Those r. Jones knows and handles with faithful precision. Other men Bmong the contem- poraries of this gifted author pack one meaning inside another, so that there is the obvious surface for some of us and the inner intricacies or delicacies for oth- ers. Anybody may laugh at Gilbert, Pi- nero or Shaw, and yet see but a little of what is there. One who sees anything in Mr. Jones sees all there is. He writes for good, honest, commonplace men ana women, and he never fools them to the top of their bent. In his hands they are safe ag an infant in the care of a fond parent. As Meredith and Hardy are elus- ive and unfair to the portly merchant, yet often dramatic and of general appeal, S0 are Gilbert and Barrie, but even as Hall Caine gives to’the multitude una- dulterated . intellectual food which they like and fatten upon, so Jones, somewhat higher in the same class, perennially pro- duces the supply which Is in most de- mand. As the serious parts of Mr. Jones bring this pleasant trait more to the front, there is room for thanks that “The Liars” is comedy. Pedestrian as his humor is, it is Jght compared to his solemnity. Last night when Sir Christopher Deerigg and Edward Falkner, charmin gentleman at the appointed time, just before one | has reached the rear door: “Kit!"” cries one. “Ned!” the other cries. That is Jones when he f{s touching. S % AW rvoLl mixed speeches. His “Liars” is a kind of | mongrel, half-artificial and half-natural not sparkling enough to be a polished artifice or intelligent enough for a_com- edy of nature. Fundamentally, Henry as an_actor in “The Christian” and pre- sented so siriking an appearance in the role, Mr. Haworth had a doubly difficult task before him in assuming the place of his able and popular predecessor. Nevertheless, he made a success of the undertaking, and in the same scenes in which Mr. Morgan made his strongest points he won emphatic approval and re- calls—and not through a mere reproduc- tion of Mr. Morgan's marnner or methods but by a forceful and manly performance after his own conception of the part. He was not so fine looking a Storm as was Mr. Morgan, but he acted the role with intelligent discretion, admirable voice and gesture, and at times invested the.char- acter with a new pathos that was most effective, We are making an uncommon fuss over Edmond Rostand at present. What Is there in “Cyrano de Bergerac” that will compare Intheatric art, to say nothing of diction, with “The Merchant of Ven- ice?” Shakespeare found a _long-nosed man in Italy, Rostand one in_ France. That is all ‘the similitude. Otherwise Hyperion to a Satyr. A year from now “Cyrano” will be forgotten in_ the limbo that holds “Trilby.,” *Pinafore” and “Charley’'s Aunt.” Shylock will still have his_pound of flesh centurfes after all modern_authors are gone into dust. So writes Hillary Bell. The New York Evening Sun thus re- sponds to ‘““A Constant Reader”: No. ere is no truth in the rumor that Mr. Daly intends to rename the Shakespear- fan play which he will produce at his theater on_Saturda: “The Girl From Venice.” Such a rumor could only have been started by some one with a preju. dice against Mr. Daly—possibly M. R tand. If any change in the title of “The Merchant of Venice” should be found necessary by Mr. Daly it will be shortened to “Portla.” That is all. B Stage versions of ‘Plckwick’—there have been many first and last—have never been very successful in America. A dramatization of “Pickwick” is to be one of the winter’s novelties in Paris. It is alleged that there is a new law.in Parfs making it compulsory for every theater to provide an attending physician and surgeon. Sarah Bernhardt has just celebrated— very quietly—her fifty-fourth birthday. Went Out Between Acts Herself. It did not. take place in the. city of: Washington, because no man in Wash- ington leaves a lady alone while he goes out between the acts at a theater—un- less it be his wife, and, of course, that- doesn’t count. ’ But it did occur, and the site of its occurrence is not west of the Allegha- nies, where, according to some Eastern thinkers, all the peculiar occurrences occur. . The man in the case was perhaps 80, the girl 22, and the theater was one In which the melodrama has its home. The girl was pretty and there was that kind of a jaw hedging the lower part of her rosy cheeks that ought to have been a hint to the young man. The young man was a very fair sample of the average chap who makes $1200 to $1500 a year. Between them and the aisle sat a big man of 50 with his wife and two daugh- ters, and the big man had a voice big- ger than he was. When the curtain went down on the first act there was a slight scrap between the couple, ‘Wwhich ended in the young man not going out between the first and second acts, be- cause the wait was short and he hadn’t time to argue. The girl’s cheeks were redder than before when the curtain went up and the set of her jaw was firmer. At the next fall of the curtain there was a slight scrap again, which ended this time in the young man dragging himself over four people and leaving the girl to sit alone until he was ready to come back to her. Two minutes later the girl dragged herself after him, over the same four people, but she stopped in the aisle long enough to say something to the big man with the two daughters. Then she disappeared. It was a long wait, and just as.the curtain started up the young man hur- ried down the aisle, and was about to drag himself over four people when the big man called his attention to the va- cancy which had occurred during. his absence. , The young man’s jaw dropped and he actually grew red in the face. The big man handed him a ring with 2 bright little diamond glistening in it. “She gave me that and told me to give it to you,” he said, with a menace . 1 his tone, as he looked over at his own girls, “and she sald if you ever came to her house again or spoke to her her | father would thrash you as you de- served.” The young man was paralyzed. “And I want to say,” added the big man, “that if the old man ain’t able to | do it he can call on me.” Then he let the young man go, and the way he went was a caution to a Arthur Jones is mot altogether 'easy to | hoist into the hierarchy of the great. i | ‘The pupils in a certain New Hampshire | village school are taught a cheerful com- | bination of music, morals and mathe- | matics.
