Meantime the figure from the hut

and a se--ond figure was sain.cs: on

there was a cry, alnii>st a shriek.
When we ran up November was ho d

"Search him. boys." said November

A few busy hours followed, and it
was tbe next afternoon before I found
myself again at November's shanty
and asked for tbe explanations which
had been promised me

DREW AND HIS EXCELLENT
COMPANY ARE A DELIGHT
Charm of His Acting Is Not Dimin
ished By His Years on the Stage,
As He Proved Last Night in "The
Prodigal Husband"
" Age cannot wither nor custom
stale" the infinite charm of Joun
Drew s acting. Kvery time he comes
here he seems to bring with him add
ed delight to his audiences. He is as
clever, capable and captivating as lie
was when in the days of the old
August in Daly company he played in
"- with Ada Kehan, James Leu
is. Fanny Davenport and the others
who were graduated to the front ot
stellar attractions and made the
American stage more than a name.
Mr. Drew was in Harrisburg last
night, and there was more than one iu
the audience who remembered him
back iu the Augustin Dah age. N.>
longer a matinee idol, Mr. Drew
more intense iu the interpretation of
his plays, and therein lies his splendid
ability—in his naturalness. His pla»
presented at the Majestic theatre to a
large and appreciative audience, wss
"The Prodigal Husband," a new
comedy by Dario Nicodema aud
Michael Morton, two young collabo
atenrs who are of the best playrights
now engaged iu welding words ami
actions together for the entertainment
of the public.
It was a very funny play, and it
took a company such as Drew gathers
about him to interpret it and bring
out of it all of its humor and clever
ness. It is a story of a husband sep
arated from his wife because of his
prodigal habits. He adopts the daugh
ter ot' his concierge who died at his
home. The daughter grows up to he
a beautiful girl and gossip links her
name with that of the husband to such
extent that he determines to leave
France with her on a world-wide jour
ney in order to save iier good name.
The girl, having iu mind the re
conciliation of the man and his wife,
hastens to the latter's home in Brit
tany. whither the man, believing that
she had eloped, followed her. The -
he meets his wife again, a reconcilia
tion. planned by the adopted daugh
ter. follows, and evervbodv is happv.
Of course. Mr. Drew', as the prodigal
husband, took first honors. He simpi*
had to be John Drew and that wis
sufficient. It went without saying tlir.t
his acting was line and the interpreta
tion of his role tine, but he had some
what of a company that was far above
the average. For instance, there was
Ferie Godschalk, an eccentric comedian
long a public favorite, who played the
role of a drunken roue who was cor
tinually "'getting in wrong," mid who
had a faculty for proposing to ever
woman h t « met. Mr. Godsehalk is :«
perennial bloomer ami he, too. never
grows old or boresome.
Grace t'arlyle, the injured wi;'e, wm
au instantaneous favorite, although
she appeared in but the last act. Her
intelligence *nd pleasing personality
won her a place at once in the esteem
of the audience. Little Helen Hayes
Brown, the adopted daughter in t'>e
tirst act was winsome and intelligent,
and in the second act was succccde t
by Martha Hedmau, a charming young
actress wiio has learned her profession
in a good school and gave it an added
grace by her intelligent rendition of
a very difficult role. She is exceeding
ly pretty and has a charming stage
presence.
Rose Winter, as one of the fa-t
Parisian set. had an unpleasant red",
but she made it very interesting by
her cleverness.
It was a good company all the way
through, and it gave an even rendition
of the play that was enjoyed by every
body. Most noticeable was the . fact,
that the star did not appropriate a!l
o' the "fat" parts for himself, but
shared them with the others, v.-hieh
is a Drew tr;«it he inherited from li t
mother, the famous manageress of by
gone days, and famous as a star, it
was a nice, neat, clean play well pin v.
ed. And yet—it was French!
