After ) sitting entranced during the intensely j fine character reproduction by the famous actor, many in the audience transferred th« hulo of actor-suprem-j acy from the head of their favorites and placed it on the more or less tern -1 porarily disfigured crown of George ! Arliss. Unquestionably and without the shadow of a doubt Mr. Arliss in his accurate and yet broad-minded por trayal ot" the eccentric violinist's oddity of speech,and mannerisms thrilled the| audience in a way that Harrlsburg! audiences are seldom thrilled. They saw an artist and recognized his art, j but in that recognition the splendid | support of Miss Margery Maude as the innocently gay and adoring young girl who falls devotedly in love with the j I master musician was not lost sight of. | : Xor did they neglect to give credit to ' Mrs. Arliss, as Lady Strangford, and lid gar Kent, as Sir Richard Strang-j [jford. a sour old barrister with the | "brain of a rattle." as Paganini might' have said: and Florence Auer, who as j Antonia Bianchi held the center of the j stage with her impersonation of the! tricky, unscrupulous, sinuous, terrible | Italian blackmailer; and the waiter] and the secretary and the father of the adoring young girl, who enter- j tains the maestro in his home and I makes possible the plot of the story by < giving it a background. None were forgotten. The fusing into a mixed tongue of the rich Italian with the idiomatic English gave to Paganini's conversa tion a fascination that caused the audience to hang on his every word. His remarkable composure, his brusque and commanding manner, his tenderness, his ability to grasp a sit- ! uation like a flash, his eccentricities 1 and witticisms, his facility in express- 1 ing in his face a thousand meanings, j all clothed him with a captivating at mosphere that is equaled, in the 1 opinion of the writer, only by the char j acter of Svengali, the mysterious force who in "Trilby" exerts somewhat the < same influence on a young girl, al ! though the latter lacks some of the j tragic intensity of the former pro- J i duction. Closely as does Mr. Arliss stick toi ] the characterization of the original \ Paganini. jet his discerning artistry l raises the maestro above the sordid I sensuality which is supposed to have , ! been a dominating characteristic of , ! the great musician, and his delicate handling of those parts which show the influence that he possesses over the feminine temperament stimulate i but n feeling of sympathy with the j love which the two bear for one an- i i other. The play might very well have 1 ' ended with the second act, so far as I meeting the dramatic requirements j' was concerned, for there a happy ell-! max is reached that leaves the audi- ! ence in a good humor. It seems j I strange, dangerously strange, that one j can be perfectly satisfied to see the j I young girl go off with the visionary' j musician twenty years her senior, the ; | father of a natural son, and the girl | : having renounced father and fiance—| and yet that is just, the effect that is; ' produced at the close of the second I act: the love motif and the romantic < | element is so strongly influential and i is so carefully handled that all else is ! ! forgotten in sympathy for the girl! j Charlotte whose very soul goes out in ! pleading adoration to the sensitive vio- j, linist whose first love is his precious • instrument. In the last act the true balance of ,' actualities is found, however, and the ; cold truth hits the poor girl with com- j pelling force. Miss Maude grows with \ acquaintance, and the final scene, i where love is placed by the musician i ; upon a more solid and less ethereal j ] footing as he gives Charlotte over toi' her young soldier-fiance. Dion Tith- | | eradge, marks the conclusion of a pro- j, i duction that Harrlsburg may well con- ! aider herself fortunate to have seen. > MAX ROBERTSON.

Tho local com- 1 i inlttee has been given the use of the S theater free of charge. More than I ' 2,000 players appear In the big film i i which will be seconded by an attrac tion showitiK "How the Jews <'are For Their Poor." Some of the scenes are laid at the immigrant station at Kills Island. I On both running boards of Theda Fiara's new limousine there are little single seats with foot braces butlt like stirrups. The seats are used to hold two little Moorish boy footmen, who are turbaned and burnished until they shine like new Lincoln pennies. The stirrups are for them to dig their ties in when William Fox's vampire woman feels like letting the car out for a burst of speed. "Beaned by a Beansliooter" is the up lifting and inspiring' title of a new one part comedy which will soon be releas ed by the Vitagraph Company, featur ing Charles Rich man and others. It is to be hoped that nothing 1 fatal enters into the portrayal of this unusual drama. Since Charles Frohman went down with the ill-fated l/USltailia, the man I behind the guns in the theatrical cam paign which "C. I'"." hail schemed and which required generalship to execute has been "Alf." Dayman, and co-operat ing with him have been many of the big stars on the stage to-day. including Ethel M. Barrymore, Maude Adams. John Drew, Otis Skinner. Donald Brian, Ethel Barrymore, Maude Adams, others. All seem to lie working to gether to build a monument to the late Mr. Frohman and to carry on the work which his memory has inspired. Blanche Sweet appeared last week in a Husky feature written by Marion Fairfax and William De Mille. en | titled "The Blacklist." said to be a thrilling: drama in motion pictures. It is believed to have been based upon the big fight between striking miners and mine guards out in Colorado a year ago. when the Governor of Colorado 1 had to call out the State militia and Federal troops to quell the riots. I I.OC'AL THEATERS The San Carlo Opera Company will present "Lucia di Ummerraoor" on i Tuesday, March 28, in the Chestnut 'street Auditorium: on the following day "Carmen' will be the attraction at the matinee and "Cavalleria Rusticana" and "Pagllacei" will be sung In the evening.
