4 gAMUSEffismg 1 "GRUMPY" BEST v PLAY OF SEASON Cyril Maude and Splendid Supporting Company Delight Orpheum Audience That well-known part, portraying the hard-shelled old man with a heart ot gold and as big as a house, has been refined by tho distinguished English actor, Cyril Maude, to the point where his presentation of "Grumpy," at the Orpheum Theater last evening, incited an audience to enthusiasm such as is seldom experienced iu the local play house. Mr. Maude, is, in the minds of many discriminating critics, the best charac ter actor in the country to-day. His finished portrayal of "Grumpy" showed every detail to perfection. His com plete submergence of self was discern ible to those who know him, and "Grumpy" as "Grumpy," and not as Cyril Maude, was the personality that impressed itself on the appreeiatve au dience. The interesting mannerisms of the extremely English found expres sions in the splendid acting of Eric Blind, as "Mr. Jarvis," the shrewd "gentleman burglar," about whose ac tions the more thrilling portions of the play revolved. Although the other members of the cast, who unshadowed by the great actor would undoubtedly shine forth as stars of greater magnitude, carried off their parts to the extreme satisfaction of their hearers, the acting of the fam ous veteran of the stage (who isn't really as old as he looks in the part) was the event of the evening. The combination of semimelodrma with reflections and wholesome humor, and the wonderfully smooth action of the plot effected the most pleasing result of the theatrical season. MAX UOBERTSON.
