The vineing and altogether delightful. It is cheerful and youthful and untheatrical. There is se much dash and good humor in his impersonation that the natural coarseness of the character Is concealed. and all of Petruchios brutal doings seem but merry pranks for the furtherance of a desirable end. Miss Marlowe's characterization is really a remarkable creation considering that the vixenish character is absolutely foreign to her nature and her personality.

In an interview after her first performance of the part she admitted that it was the hardest task she had ever undertaken, saying. "I must portray a woman with a character entirely opposite to my own personal inclinations. I loathe a shrew shrew or a vixenish woman. I am not naturally bad tempered. I am not naturally boisterous or rude," Miss Marlowe is entirely charming in everything that she does.

Perhaps she Is not always convincing in her portraYal of the termagant in the earlier scenes of the play. but in the later scenes she is admirable. She presents a lovely picture in the peasant's dress, and when the scenes change to mild coquetry she Is positively captivating. In the last act, when Katherine Is transformed to a gentle, obedient wife and lovable woman, Miss Marlowe portrays the character with exquisite effect and irresistible charm. Hers is a very different characterization from the regal termagant presented by Ada Rehan, but in its way it is quite as appealing; COLONIAL, I a whimsical comedy by W.

Somerset Maugham, in three acts. First performance in this city.

McIntyre Wicksteed Mrs a tson Waren Mr Anderson .1 Sebastian Smith Peyton Nannie Bennett Marie Tempest, the arch, pert and piquant little woman who nag iorsaken the field of light opera for legitimate' comedy, was a welcome visitrir last evening at the Colonial theatre, where she practically carried to euecess Iklaugharrias little English comedy. "Penelope." The story is told in the brief acts, and although the piot nay been exploited many times bp many dramatists the newer writer has constructed a merry little lesson for married people which serves to pass an evening at the theatre pleasantly.

The author, Mr Somerset Maugharn, has been fortunate in having his comedies played by experienced people, the leading roles being what is known as "actor proof," that is they are parts in which actors in a special line would revolve successfully in a congenial dramatic orbit. John Drew in "Jack Straw" and Ethel Barrymore in "Lady Frederick" furnish good examples of this fact. Mr Matighttill has in "Penelope" shown again his ingenuity in arranging clear dialog to tit a situation, evidently depending more upon repartee than upon action for winning favor. But "Penelope" would be rather uninteresting without an actress like Miss Tempest to vitalize the role, for it is the lightest form of light comedy. The audience was of goodly size and that the story of the inconstant husband interested and amused was shown by the smiling faces that seldom relaxed during the progress of the piece.

Whether Mr Maugham's thesis about marital indiscretions and their cure is infallible there is more than a reasonable doubt; but it served as a basis for a laughable dramatic diversion, so there needs be no discussion about the sounsneRS of his theory. When the play opens Penelope has brought her family together to inform them that she proposes to divorce her husband because he has become infatuated with her "best friend," Mrs Ferguson. Papa Golightly soon informs his daughter that she has been too lavish in her manifestations of affection and that her husband has wearied of the surfeit. What to do? Why, ignore the whole affair. Leave the two together when and where they please, is the father's suggestion for a cure.

The horrified relatives object at first; so does Penelope. Finally all consent to the plan and the doctor spouse is given a freedom which at the outset is pleasant. Finally the endearments of Mrs Ferguson palls and the extravagancies of his wife worry him. Then there is an explanation. In which a take "patient" figures; the doctor confesses he is ashamed of his actions, Mrs Ferguson retires in not very good order and the curtain falls upon the presumed re.

sumption of marital felicity between Dr and Mrs O'Farrell. Marie Tempest was a droll. subtle, demure. winsome and affectionate little bcdy, with speech and action full of those delightful bits of comedy which makes her method unique and irresistible. Bright and mischievous and with a queer expressive face the role of the young wife was a succession of charming moods, rapid and effective and amusing in every detail.

And Penelope's gowns and hats should be seen to be appreciated, for they ranged from the elegant to the Mr Ross was admirable as the wise, mathematical father; Maud Milton was natural and motherly as the generously proportioned lady mother. and Mr Dracott reproduced cleverly the mariners of a flirting old bachelor. Minnie GrilTen as the free patient. Mrs Dr Watson, played her small role so well as to win a round of applause, and Mabel Trevor as Mrs Ferguson deserves favorable mention for good work in an unsympathetic role. Mr Des.

Mimi I lataft lawsuit Nadine istasal irarmoad A bright and very melodious musical play, with plenty of scenic beauty and brilliant coatunie coloring, a lot of statuesque women In modish gowns of the sheath order, and a notable aggregation of lively girls especially proficient in high kicaing. Ail that tells a part of the story of the tirst Burton performance, last evening, at the Majestic theatre of Reginald De Koven and Joseph W. Herbert's new muoical comedy, "The Beauty Spot." in which Jefferson De Angelis Is the star.

The play which appears to be a new adaptation of a French comedy once known in this country as "The Birth ot Venus." deals with the troubles that grow out of a Russian general in Paris having married an artist's model, portaits of whom. with so tine a detail as a mole on her knee are in the market, thereby offering prolific future postalbilities of scandal in high life. The humor 114 very good. though some of it decidedly borders on the risque sort. Victor Herbert's mutfic is original as well as catchy in the main, the hit of the score being a baritone sort of romanza, "Creole Days," sung by George MacFarlane.

A pleasing Characteristic of tho production is the admirable harmony with which the whole company works together and the perfect familiarity that everyone shows with their stage business, a condition of things naturally suggestive of a prosperous theatrical enterprise. Jefferson De Angelis. as the comic Russian general, and Isabell trArirnond, as his daughter, are the life of the play. Mr Do Angelle is about sae ceaseless In comical motion as a jumping jack; he has two or three topical or semitopical songs that are pronounced hits, in one of which relating to the cinematograph. he gives an extraordinary burlesque imitation of a hero, as seen portrayed on the moving picture screen.

His recalls were so many that one inevitably lost count of them. Isabell D'Armond is as dainty and cunning as a wax doll, but immeasurably more interesting. as her performance is full of intelligence and grace, permeated with the spirit of joyoueness to a never-ending degree, and characterized by demureness and modesty that is particularly refreshing. She is as light on her feet as a feather, and her dances were encored again and again with a unanimity of enthusiasm on the part of the audience that was a high compliment to the little actress. That sterling veteran actor.

Jaques Kruger, makes an originally rather uninteresting character. chfet of the Paris police, quite a strong one by the refinement of art with which he invests it, both in acting and In makeup. George MacFarlane, who has some of the best of the De Koven songs. interprets them with a baritone voice of a purity and power seldom heard in mubleal plays and he receives a liberal weed of appreciation. Frank Doane creates a great deal of fun as a colored valet who is obliged by circumstances to impersonate a natie prince from Borneo.

and Alf I at Ball shows himself quite a successful young comedian as a Dutchman from Borneo. Viola Gillette. as the generei'm voting wife, who is the cause of a lot of trouble by reason of having been born with a mole on her knee, looks handsome and sings some interpolated operatic music with excellent effect. Minerva Coverdale as a Borneo maiden and Lillian Lawson as a Parisian dancer aro both excellent. There are a number of other performers that show special dramatic and musical gifts.

"Ballet of Irene Franklin, Billy Van and Other Stars In a Pleasing Bill. from the magnitude of yesterday's audiences at Keith's theatre and the frequent demonstrations of hearty approval and indorsement, this week's bill has been wisely chosen. The "ballet of light," denced by Miss Lola Fuller's, band of and accomelished muses, is here for a second week, much to the gratification of those who Missed last week's performances as enthusiastic thousands who are eager for another opportunity to witness again the charming spectacle.

The grace and rhythm with which the several symbolic dances are given, aided by the unique and original, not to say Satisfactory, scent! lighting effect, easily explain the widespread success of these barefooted maidens. 'Irene Franklin found a genuine ovation awaiting her. Few artists have received so flattering a reception. And it isn't to be wondered at when one has heard this fascinating singing comedienne. Already her character songs have become famous, but only when Miss Franklin sings them does the audience become so expressive in its delight.

She is accompanied at the piano by Burt Green, a composer and musician of rare ability. There wereflve new songs which, better than any given at her previous appearances here, reveal Miss Franklin's versatility. Each char. acter number possesses a true human totwh that is free from burlesque and which therefore finds immediate favor. BIlly Van, the minstrel entertainer, has a black-face monologue that is exceedingly funny.

and added to this are some capital comic songs. Andy Rice with Hebrew stories and parodies. must have been pleased with the appreciation shown his work at this, his first Boston appearance. The Royal Hawaiian septette is a first-class musical organization whose selections make a direct appeal to the audience and are warmly applauded Barry and Wolford were repeatedly encored for their very amusing skit, "It Happened on Monday." As acrobats capable of the most astonishing feats of strength and equilibrium, the great casting Dunbare prove a strong addition to the bill Other features are Wormwood's doge and monkeys, Christy and Willis. comedy jugglers and dancers, and the tograph.

Sothern and Miss Julia Marlowe dedicated the new Shubert theatre last evening wi a performance Of Shakespere's -Taming of the Shrew." The reappearance of these splendid artists, again in artistic union after a separation of several years, is most welcome. They are unquestionably foremost among exponents of the classic drama in America, if not in the whole world. Individually they have long held the allegiance of those who appreciate the best in artistic endeavor on the stage, and they bring to the theatre large numbers of cultured people who are rarely seen there except on the occasion of a presentation of uncommon intellectual and histrionic worth. They are to give at Boston's newest home of the drama during the ensuing two weeks a series of Shakesperian revivals that wdl surely long be remembered with pleasure. 1 :1 i 5.

This was partly due to the interest in' the play, itself, but more to the excellent, way, in which it waS produced and acted. Yesterday Mr Craig showed at the Castle-sq that he can do as well by' "Othello' as he did with "Hamlet," and the public responded with a heartiness that promises to fill the theatre at every performance. Scenically his production of "Othello" will take high rank. The stage settings represent the Venice and the Cyprus of centuries ago- with a color and a beauty that has nothing lavish about it, but that is at the same time faithful and picturesque. "Othello" deals with men and women, as they are, with the emotions of love, jealousy and revenge.

in its title character of the Moor. who loved and wed the gentle Desdemona despite the fact that he was a different race, Mr Craig fulfilled every exacting requirement and made 'him a dignified soldier. A man who deserved all his good fortune and who allowed himself to be deceived only through the very pardonable failing of trust that he placed in one whom he considered as his friend. The scenes with Desdemona were romantic in their poetry, helped along as they were by the fragile prettiness and feminine sympathy of Miss Young as Desdemona. and with Iago in the person of Mr Norton.

Appearing with the John Craig stocit company for the first time, Mr Norton showed his capabilities as a very tine actor. whose sense of character is marked, and whose pertionality, including a flexible and resonant voice. made lag very human. There was a touch of delicate and high humor in Mr Meek's Roderigo, and Mr Hassell rave a fine glimpse of the character of a brave and well-meaning, though unfortunate soldier. Miss Binley gave dignity and reserve to the equally hapless Emilia, the unwilling instrument of Iago's deviltry.

Clever Players Assist. In the supporting company were several who have long been associated with Mr Sotherns productions, notably Mr Rowland Buckstone, who played the Grumio role with the same broadly humorous results that have been appreciated ill the past. Mr Frederick Lewis again appeared as Lucentio and gave a finished, intelligent and satisfying portrayal of the handsome gallant. Mrs Eugenia Woodward as Petrtichlo's house servant was another who was pleasantly remembered from former presentations of the play. Mr William Harris gave requisite dignity to the character of Baptista and read his lines intelligently.

Indeed, good reading and clearness of enuntiation was uncommonly prevalent in last night's cast. Alr John Maurice Sullivan impersonated Tranio with thorough appreciation of the requirements of this excellent role, and gave it a distinction that it has not always had In the past. Mr John Taylor's make-up as Gremio was rather too grotesque, but he helped to win many a laugh. Mr Albert S. Howson was also inclined to buffoonery, but his impersonation of Blonde llo did not depart materially from traditions.

Miss Norah Lamison gave more than conventional suggestion of coquetry to the part of Bianca, but in the present version this character is of slight importance. The minor roles were, without exception, creditably presented, and the scenery, costumes, stage effects and stage management were all in keeping with the high standard of artistic excellence maintained in former productions by Mr Sothern and Miss Marlowe. "Taming of the Shrew" will be repeated tonight and tomorrow.evening. "l'he Merchant of Venice" wia be given Thursday and Friday and Saturday afternoon, and "Romeo and Juliet" Saturday night.

ADMIRABLE BILL. oefigimmuotionommme, "THE FAITH HEALER" SEEN. 1. Roars of Joyous Laughter. Last evenings performance of the 1-cming of the Shrew" was, perhaps, the most joyously exuberant that the play has ever received in this city and it kept the large and dislitnguished audience in roars of laughter.

It was even gayer and more rollicking than the performance of this play given by these artists here at another theatre In Novembtr, 1905. when it was the feature of the second year of their joint starring tour. There are many Shaksperian plays more Nvorthy of in presentation than -Taming of the Shrew," but it seems to make a strong appeal to popular favor, and, as it allows some exct-Iletit opportunities to the principal players, it l111 probably continue to hold the stage to the exclusion of much better dramas. There have been several versions of the play acted during the last half century, but the best known to the present gcneration and the most frequently pre-scented is that made by the late Augustin Daly. lie wrote it for Ada Rehan and it is as Katherine that this admirable actress will probably be most pleasantly remembered.

The version acted last evening was made by Mr Sothern. and although it n.ay not meet with entire approval from those who respect long-time establisied conventionalities. it certainly provides a thoroughly enjoyable entertalliniellt. Mr Sothern ruthlessly casts all precedents and traditions that demand the play shall be treated with the austere veneration due to classic comedy. and he and his associates play in the spirit of a gleeful modern farce.

Interesting American Melodrama Awakens Enthusiasm in Last Evening's Audience. GRAND OPERA Workingman's Wife," a drama in four acts by George Walker.

Walter Winter Pete Geolg Reid Jlin Frank Morris Hobbs 4zalituol Boss Donk Payne In the drama, "The Workingman's Wife," which began a week's engagement at the Grand opera house last evening, there is sufficient material embodied to give most any mind employment considering a question which is one of the foremost in the country today, that is the rights of the rich against those of the poor.

Unquestionably the author has taken his studies from life as well as making a study of existing conditions from the social standpoint. It is a story of home life such as is to be found among the poorer classes, with the dominating influence of wealth being brought to bear on the head of the house for the purpose of beguiling the honest wife, and so well is the story told that the play is well worth seeing. Charles Bartling was cast in the leading "'role of John Bradley, which he portrayed admirably. Clara Joel, a Boston girl, appeared in the leading female role of Mary Bradley. Her conception of the part was consistent, eliciting the approval of the entire audience.

May Gerald as Esther Milton was exceptionally good, while in the character of Douglas Westcott, Harry E. De Lasaux was equal to all requirements, As Martha Moore, Hazel Carleton gave an excellent delineation, as did also Burton as Bab Sullivan.

It is 'the intention of the management of having "Cambridge night" Thursday and on that evening the boys will appear in a vaudeville specialty apart from their usual act. The Empire Girls furnished the merriest kind of bohemian entertainment the laughable burlettas, "The Two Pikers at the Races" and "Two Pikers In a Rathskeller." Tom MeRea made a hit in the principal-role, while Asalaea Fontaine, Cora White, Luella 'Temple, Rose Burden. Lillian Ellis and other favorites were seen to advantage In their respective characters. The vaudeville portion of the burlesque was excellent.

Among the features were a number of popular ditties sung 'by the young women of the Manager Hunt provided a lively program. The four Nelsons found favor, in one of the best acrobatic exhibitions ever seen at the Howard and Kenney. and Hollis in their hilarious 'pairthmaker, "The Two Students," captured the house. Fentelle and Mallorie offered -a most pleasing specialty and featured their band. Carney and Wagner, entertainers; the Jugglers; Rosser and Georgette, singers; George ()Wally, comedian; Freeman and Allen, and the HOwardscope completed the bill.

The choral numbers are tuneful, but one really misses a real ginger and constantly wishes thete might be more dancingfor what there is is fine. -Mr Lode of Coal" is well staged and costumed, and the company is a large one.

"The Faith Healer," by William Vaughn Moody, a drama in three acts, was presented by Henry Miller and associated company last evening in Sanders theatre of Harvard university. It was the first presentation in Boston or Cambridge.

The cast: Ulrich Michaelis Henry ifiller Mai thew Beeler Harold Russell Mary Beeler Mabel Bert Martha lie. ler LEllan Dix Annie Beeler Gladys liulette Rhoda Williams Jessie Bonstelle Dr George Littlefield Theodore Friebtis Rev John Culpepper Edward See Ilnele Abe Robert McWade LaZart18 James Hagan A young mother Laura Hope Crews The audience was large enough to fill all the seats in the theatre whioh gave even a fair view of the stage, which was extended into the pit sufficiently to give 'plenty of room to actors, and the simplicity of the one scene fitted in well with the archaic provisions of the building. The audience was disposeAl to be very friendly to Mr Moody, the author, because he is a Harvard graduate and favorably remembered by many of the older persons associated With the university, though it is now 16 years since his graduation. Mr Miller, too, is remembered favorably from "The Great Divide." Mr Miller was called before the curtain at the end of the second act, and applause was liberal after every act. But the tribute was rather to the piece as unusual literature than to a drama which is destined to win any very large place on the American stage.

"The Faith Healer" is too remote from ordinary experience to grip the feeling as did Mr Moody's better-known play. and Mr Miller himself is too mote from the part of a religious enthusiast and fanatic to carry the part convincingly. The play tells the story of a man in a small western town who heals by supernatural powers. He is a rough, untutored man, and the simple country people of the town receive him as one of themselves and believe implicitly in him. Ile is beginning to work wonders in their midst when his power is broken by his love for a young woman who, though he knows it not, is unworthy of pure love through the mistakes of her earlier life.

Instantly his wonderful power is gone and the healer is on the point of leaving, a broken man. But the woman whose love has dragged him down from the hights where he has been with God is destined to lead him back through her repentance. When she freely confesses he is regenerated. The real types in the play are executed admirably. The dogmatic farmer, his superstitious invalid wife and his practical sister are very real persons.

The ultra-modern physician and the crabbed old parson and the Magdalen Rhoda impress the spectator with a sense of satisfying humanness. Uncle Abe, an old, negro, and a- little girl. make the foil of humor to what is heavy in the other actors. As for Mr Miller Hmself, one could wish for his own sitke that the part which he has essayed were more suited to his avoirdupois and personality, or that he himself were better fitted to the part.

His acting Is entirely earosist anti ..,16 auLt Mr Sothern's Own Version. lie contends that those who have regarded "Taming of the Shrew" as other than an extravagant farce are entirely at variance with Shakspere.

As he stated when he first produced the play, his definition of the distinction between comedy and farce is that one is possible, the other impossible humor. It would be hard to deny that the humor of "Taming of the Shrew" is for the most part extravagantly. absurdly impossible. To regard PetruOlio's brutal treatment of Katherine as her than a broad jest, or to imagine that a woman could be made to love a man by such vulgar barbarities is quite absurd Sothern has cut the text with intelligence. and with slight loss to either cons.stancy or interest of narrative.

Practically all the possibilities that the old play offers for a pleasant entertainment have been retained. It is true that he has eliminated the mirthful doings of Christopher Sly and his tormentors. but they have no direct relation to the play. The love affairs of Bianca have been liberally curtailed, but enough of them remain. and other scenes in which neither Petruchio nor Katherine appear have been freely cut.

Of course, most of the grossly indelicate lines with which the original play abounds have been judiciously curtailed. if not entirely omitted. Much original business has been introduced, but none that is not defensible or that fails ta add to the legitimate fun of the performance. The supper scene in the country house is uncommonly boisterous, at times a roaring burlesque: but all tne rough, knockabout, slam-tanging doings seem to be enjoyed with tremendous zest by the audience.
