OVATION GIVEN TO PAUL GILMORE
Rousing Reception After The Great
Scene in New Play
Paul Gilmore began his season in "The
Boys of Company B" at Bridgeport,
Conn., on Friday. September 25th. after
a preliminary performance at Red Bank,
N. J. on the previous evening for tno
benefit of the Second Troop Cavalry,
National Gaurd of New Jersey, at which
the highest officers of the state militia
wer« present.
It was the same old story on both
evenings’ (and has' been at every per
formance since) Paul Gilmore is such
a tremendous favorite wherever he plays
and has such a stunning part in such
a stunning play, that he is in receipt of
an ovation from his audience every
night.
The part of Tony Aljen gives him the
beat opportunity he has ever had to ex
pressing his daring humor and his bril
liant comedy. He plays the part, as one
critic says "with a frankness, a grace
a gusto, a persistency of egotism, that
are merely' enchanting.
Another writer calls him "a prodigal
In ai< and deviltry." "All of nis work"
say* still a third "he does with so light
a hand and with so fine a s*nse of pro
portion. that it would seem that he had
purposely set himself to win the hearts
of his audience without allowing them
to suppose for a moment that he is
trying.'
(.me who has evidently made a close
study of Mr. Gilmore's method*
writes:—•
Paul Gilmore’s Instinct for the pictur
esque is rarely .it fault. He preparer
his effects studiously and dexterously
He arranges his scenes with something
of that passion for effect which enters
so largely into the work of the drama
tist, the painter, the orator. However
disguised, himself is always the heroic
figure, and he Is ever busy in arrang
ing discovery and surprise. To his on
lookers ho is . vet hi« own. strong in
different self. Instinct with the pictur
esque—enthralling you, holding you a.
silent as the grave, and leading you cap
tive to the end.

field of work, lit went to Now York |
and joined the staff of William A. j
Brady. After piloting one of the "Way i
Down East" companies around the
country, Mr. Pollock was promoted un- j
til he became Mr. Brady’s general press 1
representative. During his jncumbency, I
of that position he dramatized "The
Pit," a play which was not only im
mensely successful, but which started
Wilton Lackeye on his stellar career.
Soon after this Mr. Pollock became
the general press representative of the
Messrs. Shubert, which position he oc
cupied for several years. He then
wrote an original i>lny, "TJio ,Idttle
Gray Lady,” which met with quite a
measure of success. Still more suc
cessful was "Clothes" in which Grace
George starred. His dramatization of
"In the Bishop's Carriage” and "The
Secret Orchard" are well known, not
only' In this country, but in England,
where they were successfully produced.
In the estimation of the critics, however
Mr. Pollock’s work on "The Traitor" far
surpasses all his former efforts In the
drarrrtitic field.
Now that Thomas Dixon. Jr., has com
pleted the trilogy of the Reconstruction
period that began with "The Leopard’s
Spots," was continued with “The Clans
man," and reached its climax in "The
Traitor," he will write no more novels
or plays of the South. In the future
his attention will no given to the won
derful growth of socialism.
For many years Thomas Dixon Jr.,
has attracted the attention of the
whole world by the powerful pictures
that he had drawn of life and condi
tiohs in the South during the period
of Reconstruction. No writer for the
stage lias ever aroused so much dis
cussion. and today it is generally rec
ognized that "The Clansman" is the
classic of the South. Inasmuch as
"The Traitor" is the dramatic sequel of
that tmprecedently popular play, dealing
with the same theme and telling the
romantic story of the last days of the
picturesque Ku Klux Klan it is only
natural to reckon that the new play will
b# as strong lived and a* popular as its i
predecessor. Moreover. dramatically

Al. Fields told me confidentially last

last word on the problem of the South.
His aim has been from the first to ac
quaint the people of the whole country
with what the Southern people have had
to contend, to make clear the momen
tous problems that they have to solve,
and above all. t.o.shpw that the brains
and chivalry of the South can and will
find a sa'isfactory solution to all their
problems. Mr. Dixon feels that his aim
has been accomplished now that “The
Traitor" is on the boards. "The Trai
tor” will be seen in this city for the
first time on Monday, November 2nd,
at the Grand.
That sulondld young Thespian, Frank
Patton, whose career on the stage has
been meteoric has been selected for the
lead in this great play and his ability
is well known here, local theatregoers
have no fear but what Mr. Dixon's latest
contribution to the stage will be a howl
ing success.
