FOODSONS WAKE “BOW AS STARS Kate Carew Says There Is a Glow of Domesticity About “An American Invasion” at the Bijou Theatre. {MARTIN HARVEY’S TRIUMPH. ‘Noung English Actor Makes Remark- \, able Impre Way” at Herald Square Theatre— ' Favorite Comedy at the Garrick. ‘A mild and beneficent glow of domes- He sentiment radiated trom the stage of the Bliou Theatre last night when Mr. J. E. Dodson and Miss Annie Irish made thelr first appearance in York as married co-stars, touching. One pictured the long years of waiting, of travelling on Separate routes, of lonely breakfasts, of unsewed buttons and undarned socks and the thousand discomforts of mat- rimonial apartness. At least, that was the way I pictured it until I remembered haying seen Mr. Dodson and Miss Irish playing subor- dinate parts In the same company last season, and then I wasn't so sure about the separation feature of it. But the fact remains that the triumph of do- mesticity was the prevailing influence at the first performance of “An Ameri- can Invasion,” Bor my part, I wish there were a law to keep the privale affairs of acto actresses out of the newspapers. y a8 I will to lose myself In the play the ‘things I have heard and read about the performers will not down. That the coy ingenue was involved in that—ahem!— that so-and-so affair, that the naughty, adventures has recently given a new organ to her pet church, that the font- map is an Earl, or that the housemaid has broken off her engagement to the heavy father—these scraps of unneces- sary information rise ug and clamor “Never mind the play, just attend to ui © Popular Personalities, and not forget u: in the last act.

You'd mever guess it, I know, but they are lost! Lost papers—what do you think of that as a motive for a play? There's @ terrible deal of manoeuvring over those lost papers, but I must confess that I was not very Interested In them. and did not cure much whether they ‘were recovered 0! not. “ Bigser than His Part. Mr. Dodson pinys the American, and he ts very American, indeed. The part oes not begin to'give him an opening flor his talents. but such as ft is he makes more ou}, of it than might have been expected. His dry humor, clear enunciation ani. dig reserve of quiet force and finisn—sounds a little furni- ture polishy, but never mind—are fairly aching for exercise in a part that would give them something to do. Miss Annie Irish ts best known to New York In gentle widow parts, to which her modest gifts and bland ver- gonality suit her. In ‘An American Invasion.” she is again a widow, but is Tequired to be a very flirtatious one, who breaks hearts and steals papers ‘and goes in for repartee. In spite of which Miss Irish Is a gentle widow still. Her repartee doesn't fool you, her kit- tenish moments make you feel as you would if you surprised your clergyman playing hopscotch, and when she steals the gapers you refuse to belleve your THE W ORLD: TUESDAY EVENING; OCTOBER 21, 1902. _ THEATRICAL STARS WHO APPEAR NIE IRISH, bea fellow of moods, with occasional glimpses of the gayety which of neces- sity Hes at the bottom of such souls. This Is reflected in a smile wonderfully winning, lighting, with April-like vagary a face vividly expre and by eyes ty bespeaking ineffable yearning for the \nattainable. Mr. Harvey appeala to both men and women, but more espec!- ally to women, In the earlier scenes Mr. Harvey re- handling of the stirring trial acen where Carton pleads before the rag. tribunal for the life of Charles Darnay. He was powerful without effort, and admirable {n the flashing charlatan-like sarewdness with which Carton plays upon the sympathies of the inflamed revolutiontsts. In the parting scene with Lucy Manette there was a deop. underlying pathos and an effective bit of detail in the picking to pleces of a flower which lay upon the table. So held by the spell of Mr. Harvey's act- lug was the audience at thts point that the only sound other than his voice was the distant clanging of a car-bell in the street. Tensely drawn and mutely appealin, was, the portraiture of the silently- loving and ailently-suffering Mimi of Milas N. de Silva, who, ft may be inter- esting to add, is the wife of Mr, Har- vey. Another finely-played part was the Dr. Manette of Mr. Fred Wright, sr., @ voteran whose art has a mellowness which entitles {t to be classed with that of Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Stoddard and the late*Mr. Couldock. WS EXCELLENCY THE GOV- BRNOR.” ‘Phe renewal of “His Excellency the Governor” at the Garrick last night showed plainly that the Marshall com- edy which was received with such fa- vor two: seasons ago still retains its hold on the public. There were many firet-nighters in the crowded house to see Miss Jessie Millward as Btella de Gex, and they were lavish in their ap- plause ,not only for her but for Edwin Stevens as the Governor, W. H. Thomp- son as the Right Hon, Henry Cariton, M. P., and Leo Ditrichstein as Bave! stuck, the private secretary. Mr. Dit- richstein was especially amusing as the droll secretary. The Ear! of Rosslyn was cast as Capt. Charles Carew, a role which he created. He was at case in the part and proved hims@f a ca- pable actor. The company as a whole was acceptable, but here and there were some amateurish spots, as, for instance, Miss Beatrice Irwin as thel Carlton, ‘The company, which has been put to- gether by Mr. Frohman for the road, will only be at the Garrick two weeks, but if last night's demonstrations of approval may be taken as a criterion they will play to crowded houses during the brief engagement. At the close of the second act the entire company was recalled five umes. BROADWAY BILLS.

As Sydney Carton in "The Only Way," the Free- dramatic version of Dickens's " he played with uch fine effect that “Bravos!” were! mhouted at him by people not usually @harwed with being emotional, and the curtain was raised again and again in answer to enthusiastic demand, not only during the act intervals, but at the close of the play.

The man or woman who is weak or sickly is not in the race; success socially or in business goes only to the strong and healthy. It is largely a matter of choice with any one for proper liv- ing, and proper food will bring the prize. An athlete in Chicago tells of the results he obtained from proper food; he says: “Last spring I began to train hard to become an athlete in track events and to grow stronger; I now know th hat strength and victories I have se- cured are due to the use of Grape- Nuts. When in training for an ath- letic meet I would just live on Grape-Nuts alone for three days be- fore the event was to come off.

Compound FOR CLEANSING AND PURI- FYING THE BLOOD. It Removes the Germs of Disease, Invigorates and Rejuvenates. ‘Thousands of men and women who have neglected the work of physical recuperation in the summer months are now carrying a burden of dis- ease. In the majority of cases im- pure and poisoned blood and a slug- gish circulation are the direct causes of suffering and misery. Are you, dear reader, one of the unhappy vic- tims? If so, the life stream must be made pure, the health-wrecking lax- ity of the blood vessels must be cor- rected, the nerves and tissues must be nourished. Paine's Celery Com- pound is the medicine that physi- clans recommend for the increase of pure blood in the arferies and for arousing the purifying organs to cast off the impurities that give rise to disease, Mr. James F. Hudson, Spring Ridge, La., was a terrible suf- ferer from impure blood; he tells how he banished his troubles: “From some cause my blood be- came impure and resulted in boils and pimples. At one time I suffered from 27 boils, No one can imagine what I suffered. I tried sulphur, sar- saparillas and other remedies, but no rellef came. Mr. Sebastian, a mer- chant whom I used to clerk for, handed me one of your circulars and insisted that I should use Paine's Celery Compound. After using two or three bottles the @oils were not sO numerous nor as large. After using the fifth bottle I was entirely cured and have been myself ever since.” All the fashionable shades and colors can be made from DIAMOND DYES.
