ee / N INTOLUIGENT actors attitude toward more than the expressive gesture th Faversham, and so at the Booth Theat won his audience modestly and simply in Amelie THE NEW PLAYS Faversham Warm-Hearted in “The Prince and the Pauper.” | By CHARLE S_DARNTON. the theatre ts something t and parcel of William Jast night Mr, Faversham Rives’s dramatization of t ts Mark Twain's fanciful tale, “Pho Prince and the Pauper,” in other Words, an artintic succes was achieved by @ warm-hearted actor playing the valiant soldier, Miles Hendon. To make a play of “The Prince and the Pauper.” with tts almost Im- possible episodes, is a hard job, and Miss Rives has been no more successful than others who have taken the job in hand, The wonderful thing about the story j« that it was written by Mark Twain and not by Charles Dickens, fable doesn't matter so much as is that a stranger can understand a the style, The remarkable phase of tt strange country and express it tn its ze. terms. This is art plus human nature, and this, 1 twke {t, 1s what Mr. | ‘aversham hed tn mind when he elected himself to play a emall part in a fambling play. He @id not come into view unti} the second act, and after that he was m often out of the play that ft seemed @ childish affair, At other times it took the form of riotous melodrama, with roguea doing their worst. ‘The Pauper who changed clothes with a Prince was never convincing for the simple reason thet a girl who playa a boy cannot deceive her audience Rath Finglay was a frail, sympathetic figure in her dual role, but #0 com- monplace af the Prince that she suggested neither Imagination nor poise. | She was much better as Tom Canty, Mr. Faversham did his best acting as the poldier obeying the commands of the Prinoe, bringing the wash basin to the royal presence, and all the other nonsense. It was burlesqno with a flavor. The fencing bout gave another turn to a capital perfornanos. There was always an engaging mod- eaty in the work of the star performer, -Mary Rehan as Mistress Canty, Reginald Barlow as John Canty, Clare Ames as Elizabeth, and Cecil Zapp a8 Mad Anthony wore effective, Mr. Faversham again proves himself to be the finest romantic actor on the American stage.
