Netharsols’s ‘‘8apho.”
••Saplio” has come and cone.
Hun
dred*, who had ataycd at home on Mon
day turned out on Tueaday and the
Grand' waa filled almoat to overflowing.
And "Sapho' , ywaa worth it
That flrat act wiy a surprise. It wo*
more an extravaganza than'flhunfL The
acene at the Parla .bml maaque waa pre
seated in all It* gorgeous, voluptuous
beauty. The dancing, the mualc, the
wine and all the revelry—they would
have made Bacchua wlah lilmself on
earth again.
But It waa In the aecond act that
".Sapho” revealed heraelf flrat. From
her lovemaking In the beginning to her
denunciation of caretesa tonguea at the
end. It waa perfect. And in the euc
reeding acta Mlaa Nethorsole's power
In emotional Ilnea waa ahown aa never
before. The play la a powerful one. a
wonderful work—and Olga NelheraOle
is worthy of It.
Aa In the previous playa, the work of
Frank Mills atood head and' shoulder*
above the real. The benuty of the
great ecenea between "Sapho" and Jean
Is due aa much to hla finished art, per
hup* ns to Mlaa Nethetvole's splen
did Interpretation. In "fjapho" he la
u eo-atar with her.
The supporting Company appeared to
much better advantage than In "Adri
enne," and It ts probBblo that the caat
was chosen more with a view to the
more popular play. The dancing of
•Miss Quinlan in the maaked ball acene
was a really beautiful bit. William
( lark, as Uncle Ceaalre, gave a splen
did bit of comedy.
The play? Well, an audience com
posed of the tnont prominent people In
ulnnta preferred the voluptuous, sen
suous. "Sapho” to the sweet and virtu
ous • Adrienne.” "Sapho" la a work
or art—and it It la not meat for babas,
the ovll of It la dressed so beautifully
that It la hard not to forgive.

At the Bijou.
After many weeks of musical comedy,
the Bijou Is presenting thin week
Sterling comedy drama of the Blaney
brand, entitled "Old Isaaca of the Bow
ery." This play, as the name suggests,
Is a Hebrew play, but not the slap
stick sort which haa been eo distaste
ful to the Jewish race. Old Isaaca re
veals a world of pathos, with very clev
er dramatic effects Interwoven and at
opportune tlmea there la some clever
comedy Introduced which makes ona
smile amid tears.
The play deals with the life of Old
Isaacs, an installment man. on the
Bowery during the civil war days.
Isaaca was noted for hla honesty, ready
wit and especially for the fact that
he would always extend a helping hand
to a suffering brother. The play la In
four acta, each filled with Interesting
situations and clear cut dialogue. The
characters are well drawn and exceed
ingly well portrayed.
Special praise la due Harry Flrat for
hla very conscientious work and fidel
ity to the character portrayed. The re
mainder of the company la made up of
good material and the show moves with
a smoothness that bespeaks good stage
management.
"Old Isaacs of the Bowery" will be
the bill for the balance of the weel: at
tho Bijou.
