Mrs. Totter and Kyrle Hellew Appear

PRESENTED IX A FIXE MAXXEK
The Play Follows on tho Historical Lines
of tho Career of tho Heroic French
Girl of That Nutne Why Mrs.
Potter Selected It.
After an absence of seven years, dur
ing which lime she has circled the
globe, Mrs. James Brown Potter re
appeared at the Academy of Muslo last
night. Her former appearance was In
a play redolent of light wronged love;
last night she was seen In the trag-lo
character of "Charlotte Corday." Seven
years of travel and Incessant work be
hind the footlights, with her idle mo
ments occupied by serious study, 'has
nut changed her to any extent ott
worluly. She is still the 9am? falr
fiioed, girlish looking person who, al
most a decade -ugo, -.startled Washing
ton society by her daring recitation of
"'Osier Joe."
Those years of work and of study
have matured the undeniable talent she
possesses, and those who went to the
Acadimy or Music last night simply
to view one of the most-talked-of wo
men of recent years as n mere specta
cle, left the theater with a high opinion
of her ability as an actress, for Mrs.
P'jtter gave a careful, conscientious
and r.nished portrayal of the character
of Charlotte Corday, even though she
does :ic t rise to actual greatness in the
role.
Outline of the Play.
The house bill last night conveyed the
information that "Charlotte Corday" is
un original play In four aots founded
on inckl-nts In the Hfe of Charlotte
Corday. I. C. Montesiiuleusun is named
z.a the author. He did outline and
writ-; the play, -but It has since been al
most entitely re-written by Mrs. Pot
ter's starring partner, Kyrle Hellew.
The play is a tragic drama and deals
with a period of shame In Kronen nl9
tory, a period when patrician blood
ran a deep crimson in the gutters and
anarchy in the sacred name of the peo
ple stalked red-handed through the
streets of Paris. Jean Paul Marat, a
low-born foreigner, assumed the magic
title, "the friend of the people," nnd
as Citizen Marat sa.ted his vulgar thirst
with floods of gentle blood. The horror
of all this Is admirably depicted in the
play. .Marat has called for a hundred
thousand heads for the greedy guillo
tine. All France is in a tremor as his
blood-loving hangers-on set about the
awful task. Charlotte Corday is a
gentle upshoot of the patrician
D'Amomts, of Caen. Adam Lux, an
artist and her ardent suitor, is dragged
from her garden by Marat and his
minions. Charlotte has alwavs been a
deep nature, a thoughtful girl. She is
built of that nobler and firmer stuff
that brooks no wrong, however high
its origin.
She Kills Marat.
After repeated efforts she gains ac
cess to Marat's house and hears the
day's guillotine list read. Her father's
name is on It and young Lux is ni
ready condemned. She pleads for them
In vain, but it is not for their Hakes
but for the sake of France that she
plunged the fatal 1-nlfe into the despised
bosom of Citizen Marat. Charlotte was
inspired to kill Marat by dwelling on
the act of Judith, who rescued the peo
ple of Israel by cutting off the head
of Holofernes. So deeply did she ponder
over the courageous deed of Judith
that she became a monomaniac on the
subject nnd believed that she was or
dained by God, like Joan D'Arc, to do
a great service for the French people
that would be heralded throughout all
generations.
In such a mood she slew Marat and
then refused to allow her friends to
save her from the penalty due her act,
declaring the person who was not
afraid to kill should not be afraid to
die. Around this dark and sombre
central figure the playwright has
written a story that contains few of the
light passages of love and still fewer
glints of humor, yet it Is withal a
fascinating play and holds the close at
tention of the audience from beginning
to end.
Given a Chilly Reception.
When Mrs. Potter made iher first ap
pearance on the stage last evening her
reception was chilly. Her Charlotte
Corday is that of a young girl bleedlintr
fr tihe wrongs of France with nothing
but hatred for such as Marait In her
heart; one who Is Incapable of loving
and who Is almost constantly In a day
dream in which the horrors of the time
anise before her and gradually crystal
Ize her determination to rid the world
of Maret.
Tiiiiit- conception of the oharaoter
Mrs. Potter, who greatly resembles the
pictures of Charlotte Corday, faithfully
and artistically carries out. The first
act dM licit arouse the audience, but n
tihe second there was sl warm outburst
of applause. The scene 'Is la.ld In the
studio of David, the mrMst, where Char
lotte Is posing os Judith, Marat oilso
appears 'in the studio and from It is
buos orders forithe death of Adam Lux,
wihom Charlotte has promised to allow
to woo 'her when "peace comes to
Fiuuce." It Is 'there, on hearing Mar
at's order that she forms her final pur
pose to kill him, Just as the curtain Is
rung down. It was a fine bit of emo
tional work on iher paft and on that of
Mr. P.ellew as Marat, but through a
misunderstanding neither responded to
the encore, and the curtain went up on
an empty stage.
A Repulsive Monstor.
Mr. Tiellew makes Marat In outward
form, thought and action a monster al
most beyond conception In vlleness and
repulsilveness. He is, Indeed, a "noxious
nhoot from the seething bed of an
archy." Hut Mr, Hellew proves Hi'lm
self a consummate artist by the man
ner In whilch ihe simulate the charac
ter of Marat, cursed with so many
physical and mental blemishes. Ills
work last night was one of ithe m'ain
feaitures of the performance. In the
third act, when Charlotte kills Marat,
oocurs the strongest scene In the play,
and both Mrs. Potter wild Mr. Hellew
did very effective work and were most
heartily applauded, Mrs. Putter being
compelled to make her appearance be
fore the curtailn.
She makes the killing of Mannlt a
grand, heroic deed. She did It not from
personal motives, but for tho good of
France. Mrs. Potter has a peculiar
manner of delivering her lines that at
first Jars on the ear, but this peculiar
ity Is forgotten and lost sight of
a the scenes progress. The hesitancy
with which she siMaks and dwells on
her words Is her conception of the man
ner In which Ohnrlotite Corday would
have spoken.
Mr. Dellew's greatest bit of work was
In Uhe third act, when he delivers his
blood drunken soliloquy, beginning,
"There are no kings 'In France today."
He proved himself an actor who has
few superiors.
The suppor ting company was a capa
ble one. Among ithose who distin
guished themselves being Henry Chan
fiUu, Verner Cbarges, Maoii Mitchell,
Jhn Ward, Helen Lowell and Perdlta
Hudspeth. A large and fashionable
audience witnessed the performance.
Mrs. Potter Interviewed.
A Tribune reporter had a pleasant
chat with Mrs. Potter (between the
third and fourth acts. In her dressing
room uhe did not seem a bit like the
stern-faced young woman who had a
minute befoie sent a dagger Into the
writhing body of Marat.
"How did I come to select 'Charlotte
Corday?' Well, It was Sardou, tho
French playwrlte, who first suggested
tho ldet to me on account of my re
semblance to Charlotte Corday. The
play wan flist produced in Calcutta,
India, and in this country I first ap
peared In San Francisco in it. Oh, no,
it is not my favorite character; I pre
fer Shakespearian roles, but my Char
lotte Corday has been well received
wheicver it has been seen and therefore
we are pri-watlng It.
"It may luck Sove Interest to some
degree, but it muJit to be historically
correct, for Charlotte Corday had a
heart that was seemingly Incapable of
loving at the period with which this
play deals. Great pains have been
taken to make the play historically
correct in every way, and 1 have been
told that my appearance In the role Is
very similar to that of the real Char
lotte Corday.
"Do 1 like the stage? Now it Is not
a case of like it with me. I must earn
a living, and as 1 seetn to be best fitted
for this work I am striving to do my
best at It." And Just then the call boy
appeared to summon Mrs. Potter for
the prison scene In the last act.
BllLDl.N'ti AM) LOAN' TAX.
Kcprcscntutlves from City ana County
Association .Meet und Decide to Peti
tion Against the l'pssugc of the "Cotton
Mill."
Representatives from the Building

night at the law otlice of Watson &
Zimmerman to get in readiness their
protest to the members of the state
legislature against the proposed bill
which provides for the levying- of u

There was a tfixxl representation pres
ent and the meeting was called to order
by the chairman. Attorney- R. A. Zim

the proposed bill had not yet been re
ceived, and in the absence of It there
could hardly be much done. On motion
of Martin C. Judge a committee on
resolutions was appointed. The chair
named the following: Fred Wagner,
John Hale, Professor J. C. Lange, John
Fern und Jacob F. Miller. Another mo

the taxation 'of association stock In
any shape.

to send a copy of the bill; It Is styled,
"The Cotton bill," and when the com
mittee receives It, they will draft their
resolutions, which will be aimed against
Che provision affecting building and
loan societies. The resolutions will be
printed and a copy sent to the secre
tary of each association In the county.
The board of directors rif each organ

then a pntltlon will be circulated for

POVERTY IS YET APPARENT
Although Associuted Charities Report
Work More Plentiful.
HELF FK0M SCKAXT0X W'OMEX
They Meet and Decide to Duplicate Their
Good Work of Last Year lienor
Laws Needed to Facilitate
Child Saving.
At a regular meeting of the Asso
ciated Charities In the city hall last
night It was revealed through the dis
cussions of members and the agent's
report that, although work has become
more plentiful, there remains an ab
normal amount of destitution and want.
In the absence of the president, Colonel
K. H. Ripple, the chair was occupied
by 10. J. Lynett; other members present
were: Secretary Israel and Messrs.
Keller, Smith, Thomas, Kelly, Gibbons
und Cohen.
The employment committee, through
Mr. Gibbons, reported a better condi
tion among the puor, particularly un
the South Side, where the mills have
started and new emplowiuent Is given
abuul 1,500 men. Through Mr. Gib
bons, Mr. Kirst, who Is ill, reported
that gangs of from fifteen to twenty
men can be given employment from day
to day or week to week on the stone
crusher. Remarks by the members In
dicated that possibly the proposition
may be accepted, as til" money used In
paying the men would b returned
through the sale of the crushed stone.
Child Suving l aws.
The laws In reference to child sav
ing were discussed, and It was the sense
Of the meeting that the laws are broad
enough, but their application Is lacking
because it gives only certain societies
the right to enforce them. Mr. Israel
stated that a number of Scranton
women are taking steps to organize In
this city an association similar In plan
to the Child Saving society of Pitts
burg.
Mr. Thomas, of the special committee
appointed at the previous meeting to
draft a law for presentation to tin leg
islature and to give poor boards the
right to furnish employment, reported
that the mutter hail been informally
discussed by the committee. He said
it was thought thut such a law would
meet with the objections made to the
convict lubor laws, and that both Mr.
Sturges and Mr. Lynett, members of
the committee, thought that haste
should be made slowly. The committee
was continued with Instructions to In
vestlgate the matter further.
Mr. Cohen, Mr. Smith nnd Mr. Keller
were appointed to confer' with the poor
bonrd relutive to securing from that
body an appropriation to pay a portion
of the salary of the proposed assistant
to the Associated Charities agent, Mrs
W. B. Duggan.
The agent made the following report
for the period since the last meeting:
Forty-seven applications for aid. "0
worthy, 17 unworthy; work for 13 men
and 3 women; 3 children sent to charit
able institutions, and 3 adults nnd 1
child to the Hillside home; 3 men fur
nished with lodging.

of tihe Associated Board of Charities

Young Women's Christian association

ested in charitable work were present,

tlon.
This will prevent frauds and give
the ugent an opportunity of Investigat
Ing all cases and assisting the deserv
ilng. Six hundred and ninety-four dol
lars were collected by the ludles of the
auxiliary during the past year.
The ofllcers of the board ore: Presi
dent, Mrs. C. T. F. Barnard; secretary,
Mrs. J. R. Cohen; treasurer, Mrs. L. A

When the advertising atmosphere is so
heavily charged with exaggeration, it
is well to remember who the honest
advertisers are. Windy assertions about
(1KEAT reductions advertising goods
at impossible prices, tind no lodging
place in the minds of intelligent people.
Dull trade throughout the legitimate
business season may make necessary,
wild statements from some clothiers to
atlract trade, but the schemers will
have to scheme harder and find new
disguises for their lame excuses before
they can stop the people from coming
to this store for honest values. The
triumph of this store is the triumph of
intelligence, and you have made it so.
Trade has been up to the mark here,
yet there's a touch of attractiveness in
the styles and assortments. We've add
ed another and more taking attraction
REDUCED PRICES, natural order of
things here at this t-eason; LOWER
