Mr. Willard Reveals Genius in the
flew Play Called the Middleman.
THE TAR AND TAETARIS A SUCCESS
Kolanil Eeed and His New Comedy, A Club
Friend, JIalce a Decided Hit
CRITICISMS OX ALL THE PLATS IN TOWN
E. S. "Willard is the greatest actor Fitts
burg lias seen this season; more than that,
excepting three or four, he is the greatest
the English speaking stage has produced in
tills generation. The dimensions of his
genius and its eiact character, one perform
ance in one character, do not of course re
veal, but nobody -who saw Mr. "Willard last
night make Cynis Mlenkarn's troublous
life an aching, throbbing reality
for several hours, can deny him genius, pos
itive creative genius, as an actor. Nor is
there any doubt that bedes natural gifts
Mr. "Willard's art is potent and polished, or
potent because it is polished. In the mirror
of his art nature is reflected, and then comes
that something which is indefinable, but
nhich vaguely wc term genius, to illumi
nate thoieflection, to make it move our
hearts in sympathy.
This is a triumph: Mt. "Willard's perform
ance lat night at the Alvin Theater was a
triumph, icaiked with tumultuous applause
upon the tall of the curtain on the firt, sec
ond, third and final acts. It was a victory
of quiet methods and simple naturalness in
tone, gesture and expression. "When an
actor whose face is new plays before us w c
are apt to believe him the evangelist of a
new doctrine, and the more so if the im
pression he makes is deep. Here, then, it
Wight be said of Mr. "Willard that he
preacher the gospel of quietness; he
gives us pas-ion without wild cries,
pa-sion without tearing of garments.
Jtut it may be after all that uhat he does is
jiot so new as it i true. That he does what
ell great acton- have done he acts.
Till: l'LAV DISTINCTIVELY ENGLISH.
The plav in which Mr. "Willard appeared
At the Alvin Theater last night, before a
large audience, was "The Middleman," by
Henry Arthur Jones. It is an English
play, "altogether, body and spirit, English.
Xot alone the scene, the atmosphere,
and all the characters; but the
play is constructed on the English
plan, according to the rules of the school of
dramatists who have for the last ten years
at least dominated the English stage. Con
sidering the play as a dramatic work of art
many serious faults appear. There is far
too much preaching in and out of season;
loo little action except in the one great
act of th play, the third, which is intensely
powerful and moves from point to point till
tne climax is reached, ll-.e preaching ot
several of the minorcharacters,snch as Jesse's
harangues in fine language such as no such
roan would use, mav catch an audience,
peciallr an English audience, but they
have no place in the play.
The humor is essentially of the pattern
proscribed for years, one might almost say
centuries, to make Enslish audiences laugh.
Jt is very meacer in quantity and poor in
quality, and though it atlords relief and
contrast in a wav, and compels some laugh
ter, the humor of fa'i courtship of Saucy
is not worthy of the play. Other lighi
there is none: the principal episodes of
the play contain none but grim
sardonic grins for seasoning, and the
most interesting personages rarely or never
milc But the play contains one act at
least of sustained power, and many situa
tions of real human interest, while the story
is simple, pure and sweet from beginning to
end. The play is founded upon a grand
moral.
TlIK HIGH AND MIGHTY ITT DOWN.
The exemplification of this moral may be
phrased in the grand text: "He hath" put
tlown the mightv from their seat, and hath
exalted them of lowdegree." Cyrus Blettkam
jva potter of an inventi.-e turn. Joxph
fbamihr is his emplojcr. The employer
grows rich on the labor and genius of his
employe. One of the latter's two daughters
is loved by and loves Captain Chandler,
Joseph's son. The Captain is a deceiver, but
one who means well. AVe cannot respect
him over much, however, for lie deserts his
love. The story of shame by chance comes
lo Cyras' ear. He asks Josqyh Cltandler to
bring back his son, but he won't even try to.
Then Cnnix begs heaven to give him riches
that he may eonSouud his wealthy employer
ami hi- rascallr son. Itiehes come to liim
through the discovery of the secret of a
certain "clan1" in making porcelain, and
lie finally aetuallv takes the place, and the
very lactones, of his employe, Joicp Cltand
hr. But Cyrus is magnanimous in his
trininph Then the "erring daughter, who
was supposei! to be dead, reappears, this
time as the w ife of iptam CltamUc ; w hoin
the lias married abroad, and the play
ends with a concntional binding up of
lieart-, and genenl distribution of justice.
Koch as unhappily nevei happens in real
lifc.
Mr. "Willard's impersonation of Cyras
JXcHl-ant -would have kept that character in
the very from of the play, even if the au
thor had not helped in making it prominent.
A beautiful, lovable character it is, too, of
an enthusiast in much clothe.-;, a potter with
terrific ambition, but a hie, rich heart. In
the first act. and through ihc earlier part of
the second this rugged piece of human na
tore was sCcn in repose. At
the close of the !econd act where
fW asks heaven to aid him
in punishing his enemies, although the in- I
Tccatiun was very long. Mr. Willard struck
a wonderful a ein of convulsive griefs and
anger, which Mioncd in the tremor of his '
Lusky tones, the liaki:i:; of his legs and I
the workings of his worn, wan face, and
nrougui irom tne auuience those thunders
of applause which only work that is
supremely true and noble can bring.
JIK 3IAKI.S NO MISTAKES.
Again in the nervous excitement of the
iceiie preceding the d:scocry of the
wondrous '"glare;" the work at the i
pottery furnace and the triumph- !
nnt ecstacy in the moment when i
tin pertct ase is found, Mr. "Willard's
intensitv and subtle differentiation of feel
ing were superb. I'erhaps the finest touch
of all lias m he hollow sardonic peal of
lacffhter with which Onw greets his late
employer's proposal to buv him hack, and
nl-.ieii foinis mk-Ii an .-flective finale to the
third act But all his work was good;
there were ro mistakes: not even of taste
in the matter ot taking curtain calls,
which Mr. "Willard rightly refuses to do in
tlieeoaimon way. Ei err time the curtain
Wis raised in response to applause the
actors had resolved themselves into a
tableau.
Mr. Iloyce Carleton played, the unpleas
ant, hi : not t'lilifclikc JiMCf.li Clnmdler with
considerable force. Miss Marie Burroughs
was upon the s age all too short a time in
the sorrowful role of Mary lilenkam the
character is a haccneyed one in drawing
and lacks color. Miss Tilburr and Mr.
Tyler madf the most of the sjna'll vein of
low comedy wliich fell to their share. Mr.
Cane inn.iV a clever hit of character of Hatty
yhd. The rest of the company almost jus
tifies the use cf a slang phrase, for it was
nearly out of ight.
Tiie Mx-nrrr was in itself a strong part of
the play. The n .Jistic features of the pot
tery itirnaee in nj c-ration, which the third
act showed, are really of great interest, es
pecially in such a community as this. The
other sets were English interiors, richly
furnished. As has been said, the impres
sion made by the plav and Mr. "Willard, es
pecially the lattsr. was very, very favora
ble. AUNI BRIDGETS BABY.
Another Candidate for Lanchter rreentcd
hy O. W .Monroe t the ISijou.
George "W. Monroe evidently is as fond of
the name "Bridget" as an old Irish woman
is of her cup of tea. He played one year
ago in "Mv Aunt Bridget," and, whether
good or bad", it was successful. So he took,
as it might seem, the name "Bridget" and
built another plav begging the play's par
dona farce comedy around it, which
was presented last night at
the Bijou Theater, and welcomed hy
a house that was crowded to the door. The
audience took the trash cooked up with a
sauce ot bright lights and some pretty
dresses, as they alwavs tae it with good
nature, and applauded Monroe and his peo
ple generously There are three acts, that
is the curtain goes down twice during the
performance, "before its final drop on the
scene as Aunt Mrulyct invites the audience
to joiu her "at a hunk of wedding
cake." There are some really
clever special work introduced, and
strange to say, the quartet singing
several serious songs, besides playing
sweetly, in the last act, was most in favor.
Another of the bright hits of this farcical
musical mosaic was Xellie Eosebud's reci
tation and acting song of "The Floor
Walker." She was so clever and the song
was o spicy that she got two encores. Of
course, the humor of the plays lies in Mon
roe's dialogue and his irresistible funny co
quetry as a xriddy young woman in love.
There" is nouiing'niore laughable than to see
his 200 and some pounds dressed out asan
exaggerated woman of the period, playing
the fashionable, while he falls over his own
ankles. The whole thing is small value,
but it serves to amuse and did amuse a
couple of thousand people last night.
THE TAB AND TABTAB.
The New Comic Opera Slakes a Decided Hit
at the Duquesne.
"The Tar and the Tartar" is one of the
brightest comic operas that has come this
way in years. It has a funny story, a run
ning to points in ridiculous incidents, and
bound together with music of the sort that
always cheers. For the creation of this
capital entertainment Harry B. Smith, the
librettist, and Adam ltzel,.Tr.,the composer,
are to be congratulated. It is a distinct
boon in these days of dull and half-cooked
productions.
The success of the comic opera is due,
however, in a very large measure to the re
markable strengtli of "the company. "With
such a comedian as Dighy Bell as 2Iney
ITasxan, the shipwrecked sailor could not
bv any possible means fail to be veryfunnv.
Mr. Bell seemed last night in unusually
good trim, both vocally and comically. He
sang with more than his usual spirit, and
in his own patent style flashed a bewilder
ing cloud of jests across almost every scene.
As a remit, before the opera was over
he was growling good-naturedly be
cause the audience demanded so
manv encores. He was well seconded by
Hubert AVilke, who is a remarkably clever
actor as well as singer. In the latter ca
pacity Mr. "Wilke was effective in several
solos "and in the interpolated duet in act 2.
Charles AYayne as Kharloon also tumbled in
a good deal of amusing comedy.
But the brightest figure in the opera many
will think is Miss Marion Manola, who is
as bright and winsome as ever, and whose
voice seems to have mellowed and grown
richer by her comparative rest for the past
two years. Undoubtedly she handles
her voice far better than she
ever did before. Some new
music written by Mr. Julian Edwards, the
conductor for the company, has been inter
polated for Miss Manola's benefit. Farina's
first number is a rather elaborate waltz
song of the conventional Italian pattern,
which toward the close permitted Miss
Manola to display soma smooth and grace
ful vocalization. The chansonette in the
last act, also bv Mr. Edwards, was
sung by Miss Manola with much skill, but
the effort to declaim some of the lines did
not improve it, and did not help the singer
to catch the audience. Miss Jo
sephine Kr.app, especially in the earlier
scenes, and Miss Laura Joyce Bell
in her air a the opening of act 2, sang
very nicely. The chorus is remarkably
strong vocally and well-drilled; the
ensembles were sung in a manner far above
the average. There were lots of pretty
faces, costumes and 6cenerv in the produc
tion, and these, with notaTble bright feat
ures, such as the medley of national airs in
the last act encored again and again
Digby Bell's topical songs make the very
favorable verdict of the audience last night
entirely just. There was a very large audi
ence present.
A CLTJB TBIEHD.
Kolanil Reed Takes a Big Step Forward in
His New Play.
Mr. Bolaud Beed's dramatic reputation
has heretofore been connected with pro
ductions in which the farcical tone pre
dominates over the higher qualities of the
dramx In "The Club Friend" he has
undertaken comedy of a higher order, and
made a creditable success in a production
containing lots of laughter, an clement of
finish and a touch of really strong pathos.
The play abounds in amusing complications,
whici. arc shifted from one combination to
arother with kaleidoscopic suddenness, but
which involvj less absurdity than those of
Bosenfeld's other success, the "Possible
Case." It serves admirably the purpose of
keeping the audience in constant good
humor through four acts, and has hardly a
moment without a bright point or an
amusing situation.
Mr. Beed'sconception of the keen man of
the world, whose reputation for wit and jol
lity hampers his eflort to carry out a serious
purpose, and whose serious purpose in turn
interposes obstacles to his energetic and
finally successful wooing, is refined, easy, and
for that reason the more cfiective. Iu the
last act, the one situation of the play in
which humor gives place to the pathetic,
Mr. Heed had the opportunity to sliov. how
the saint qualities wliich give effect to his
humor enable him to bring out the pathos
of the scene to the mest impressive degree.
The part, therefore, has a broader scope
than any of his former roles, and ranks in
the higher class of comedy impersonations.
Of course, Mr. Beed's "part is the central
figure of the comedy; but it does not absorb
all its excellence or dwarf the merits of
the other part. Indeed the great merit of
the play was the evenness and brightness
ot the entire cist. There was not a role
that did not present characteristic features,
Mr. Davidges' JUaliepcace Fraidey and Mr.
Friend's JJaximinan being noticeably origi
nal m tln-ir comic attributes. One ot the
most attractive ieatures of the support was
Miss Percy Haswell's Sylvia, which as a pic
ture of impulsive and innocent girlishuess
was especially charming. But as there is
not a weak spot in the cast it is hardly nec-

Theatrical Notes.
Tnu World's Museum-Theater has a very
good bill this week, thanks to the ability of
tho principal performers in tho World's
Specialty Company. The curiosity hall also
contains many wonders worth seeing.
.V hegciar minstrel performance of tho
old-fashioned kind, with "Watermelon" J.
W.Andrew s in the lead, Is the chief attrac
tion nt Davis' Museum-Theater. Tho three
legged man and other cm ious things aro on
lew, and the great Lalloo is piomiscd.
Two hiRie and delighted audiences wit
nessed tho sensational melodrama, "Tho
New Shadow Detective," at Harris Theater
yesterday. The play is a good one of its
clas9 and tho company, as a whole, is clever.
Daniol A. Kelly as the Shadow Detective, who
assumes a number or disguises, shows him
soir to he an artistic character actor. There
nro sensational effects that are skillfully
managed.
The Lest company that Gus Hill has
Drought to rittsburg for a long while gave a
capital performance at Harry Williams'
Academy last night. liesides Gus Hill's own
specialty, tne comedy work of William A.
Mason and Bobby Ralston Is very good.
Annie Wilmuth's snntrs, the wonderful acro
batic net of Los Barilistos, and Field's and
Hanson's musical act, aro also worthy of
high praise.
