GEORGE ARLISS
SCORES TRIUMPH
i Cyril Maude's Daughter With
Famous Leading Man of "Dis
raeli" Delights Many
Nicolo Paganini, famous Italian vio- :
I linist and composer, who died in the
! year 1840, was revived Saturday even
ing by George Arliss and a company
;of unusual ability in the three-act
comedy by Edward Knoblauch. 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. >

moving picture program that will be i
staged at the Victoria Theater next '
Sunday afternoon for the benefit of the .
Jewish war sufferers. Tho local com- 1 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.
