that one may travel far to find an
equal for. There Is always a strong
Interest In the West, but few plays
have shown that life of the plains of
20 year* ago as It really was. with Its
atmosphere of arid hekt: strong pa*,
slon* nnd faithful friendship.
The play hns Just finished a six
months' run at Wallack’s Theater In
New York, and during that time It has
been witnessed by over 300,000 |*r-
sons who have expressed their unquali
fied approval. In It are embodied every
detail that goes 'to make the almost
perfect play. The atory In itself la of
exceptional strength, and the cast that
has been secured to Interpret It la one
of superior ability.
William Faversham, known for years
as onto of the best actors in the famous
Empire Theater 8tock Company, plays
the title role, and while It Is a far cry
from such social role* as he has hith
erto portrayed, his versatility has but
been accentuated In the part of Cap
tain James Wynnegate, who later on
Income* the squaw man. Human emo
tion Is shown at every turn, and yet It
Is all handled so delicately, so very
ably, that there Is not one discordant
note to be found at any point.
Throughout only absolute strength and
virility, with clean cut human passion
and n certain element of aelf-sacrffice
upon n-hlch the play hinges I* to be
found, j
“Ths County Chairman.”
Thousandi of people have Been “The
’ounty Chairman,” and every one un
hesitatingly declares It the best come
dy he has seen In many a year. This
production from the pen of George
Ade, the famous humorist, and the re
markable run of 312 performances at
Wallack's Theater, New York, and all
former records In Chicago, Philadel
phia, Boston. St. Louis and San Fran
cisco Is unequalled. "The County
Chairman," which comes to the Grand
Monday and Tuesday, Is a picture, not
a caricature, as are most comedies. Its
humor Is In Its lines and not In the
make-up or eccentricities of any come
dian. It abounds In epigrams und hu
morous saying*. Mr. Ade has woven a
pretty love atory Into a moat charming
play—the story being full of Inlefest
ami admirably told by a highly accom
plished and complete company headed
by Theodore Babcock In the title role.
Me lias established himself In the front
rank of actors of the present day.
Thomas Grady carries the chief come
dy role, that of Sassafras Livingston, a
negro ''floater.” Ade lias provided this
talented minstrel with a part exactly
suited to his ability, and Grady keeps
bis hearers In roan of laughter. To
ken altogether the production Is one of
the notable dramatic events of the year.
Marie Corelli's ''Thelma.'' ns given
Thursday night by the Baldwin-.if el-
vllle Stock Company at the El Dorado,
offers a good opportunity for Miss Lil
lian Bayer to demonstrate her ability
as an emotional actress. The play us
u whole appeals directly to tho emo
tions and with the title role handled hv
a talented actress like Miss Bayer, it
become* one ot more than ordinary In
terest.
Me. Buhler, as Sir Bruce, takes his
part In a quiet, dignified way. Mr.
Findlay, as Olat Ouldmnr, Is perhaps
the best of the cast. His manner is
strong and suppresed and he gives an
Idea of a fund of latent power. Miss
Vnne scored another success at Britta.
