{ 1 i 4 ’ ey . American Theatre Ver- sion Written By Miss Lorraine Hollis Not Like That of Belasco, But Persons in the Au- dience Thought Actors “Looked Well in Knee Pants.”’ Tt has remained for Miss Lorraine Hollis to Inject knockout drops and rubber plants into the life history of the Du Barry. This remarkable feat was accom- pishéd last night at the American Theatre, where we saw what {8 termed on the bills ‘a masive production of an original historical play, Jeanne Du . written by the Miss Lorraine Hollis aforesaid. It was a massive production in all truth; it was so massive It fell over it- self, Also it was original. Comparisons are odious, Invariably. Comparison between Miss Lorraine's Du Barry and Mr. Belasco's Du Barry is almost odious enough to call for the intervention of the Board of Health, but Miss Lorraine took the chance. Far be it from us to say that Miss Lorraine has not acquitted herseif with credit. Never in our life have we struck a woman, especially when she was dow A large and remarkable stock con pany, headed by Miss Jessaline Rod- gers, presented th’ st play built upon the life of the favorite of Louis XV. ‘to a remarkable audience in a re- markable theatre, (Please excuse so many remarkables.) ‘The manager of the house, the door- kecper and the ushers appear to know ali the patrons by their first: nam ‘the patrons—about $0 p t. wo en--know the actors always by the own names and not the names of the chatacters they. portray, t the conc.usion of each act the management, the 's, the girs who sel candy in the lobby, the bartenders in the cafe, the drivers, and conductors of street cars that happen to be In front at the time, the policemen on the boat, the Dill posters, the press agent, the scenic artist, the stage carpenter and friends of the Management gather in the rear, fasten boxwood cleats on thelr hands and make a noise.
