Tho stirring drama, which is laid In Enpland, Tarls and Australia, was stacd with complete success, uml the high class of the Sanfurd players marked the Initial performance at the Empress Theatre last niKht.

Mr. t'harl, Ayres. Mr. V. T.

Henderson and Miss Isabelle Fletcher are sen at their best in the play this week. Mr. Ayres takes the part of Dudley, a young English farmer working for Joseph Stillwood. a scheming rascal having the guardianship of Lillian Melford. tile part playcit ny Fletcher.

She having a fortune from her father, who disappeared to Australia. Stillwood has eyes upon her as the husband of his son Robert, which Mr. Henderson plays. She has bein kept In Ignorance of the money until her father appears on the scene In time, to fcive her hand to John Dudley. The irecotid act opens In Pari, where young Stillwood Is craftily scheming to Kct rid of Dudley and getting his and his wife's money.

Tracing an insulter of his wife to a gambling den, Dudley causes a At the same time, Stillwood kills the nun Dudley Is after for hifl money, and causes tho blame to be placel upon his rival. After a in the French courts the death penalty Is Imposed on Dudley, but a nnril'in is obtained through his wife and friend. Turn Has selt. hut Dudley is sent to New Caledonia to serve a term of iie. The deck of ie A ust r.ilaf ia, for Sydney, is seen in the fourth with Mrs.

Dudley, Robert and others on board. It runs Into boat lth two French convicts on Intnl. one of whom turns out to be Dudley. French marines board the finl a dramatic scene occurs, where 'no sailors of tho ship oppose the id of the marines under the. British flag I' ut trouble Is not over for Dudley, for Stillwood tries to do his oi st and Dudley 'Is arrested at Sydney.

The confessions of an accomplice of Stillwood however, clears matters up. and two ten pound notes stolen off the stabbed man and found in Stillwood's possession clinch the matter. Charles Ayres' portrayal of John Dudley, the young farmer, is exrellent, and Is only equalled by the ability with which Ml Fletcher acts the part of Lillian Melford. Harold Nelson In the role of Joseph Stillwood obtains much applause, and the heavy pirt of tho son, by Mr. V.

T. Henderson. Is excellently taken. Throughout the whole drama, bobbing up at unexpected moments, is Tom Bassett, a friend of Dudley's, and tho part could not be bettor handled by Chauncey Southern. Mins Meta Marsky as Lucy Nettle lield, Stillwood's stepdaughter, and a necessary party to tho whole party, is een at her best this week.

Certainly tha play would lack much were it not for the admirable manner In which Frank McQuurrle acts do Lussao, gaming house tout in Paris, who later eimnarea Sllllivood. Eleven scenes are given In all, in five acts, and some excellent and artistic effects are obtained. AVENUE Thnt laiiLThter ladrn Jura loo. Grill i Quirk W'jillingford, presf nted at tlw Avrnun lat ninht, comrs about aa near beini? the one hem bet ifl the entertainment line that the pew purchasers that tlu'atre have bad for many moons nnd then some. The combination of t'ohanesriue humor on the hih prar and Iawrence and Sundusky versatility and perfection of detail is one that bids fair to create a new box office record 'ere Saturday arrives.

Like the majority of t'ohan comedies there is a wraith of cha racier types presented and laughter prevails In even the most tragic lines. As an example of typical American frenzied finance. Get Rich Quick AVallingford stands out by itself and the clever and natural manner in which several love stories aro so charmingly interwoven the warp and woof of this dainty fabric of mirth stamps it as one of the best adaptations of George M. Cohan. But underlying It all Is the varied xamplps of the outward demonstrations of the basic passion that possesses so many of old Adam's descendantsthe love of wealth the power of money.

Knacting the leading male rules are the lvn most popular members of the company Mr. lcl S. Lawrence as .1. Itufus Wallingford, nd Mr. Howard Ttusvell as "Black fe" Daw, ailing ford's pal.

Mr. Russell fits the role of "Blnekic" Daw as if i had been specially written for him. Together they make a great team a rair such as some Vancouver realty dealers might long to have as salesmen just now. Of Miss Maude Leone it is safe to say that she heightened the pood impression she made in her initial appearance in last week's offering. For this week's attractive offering the Layrenc company has been aug ented until the programme looks like a voters' list.

Chief among the several fine character types is that of Andy D. mpsT. landlord of the Palace hotel, artistically given by Alf. T. I.aync.

Kd ward Iawrence shows artistic but clever evolution as I.anib, ihe hot 1 clerk who afterwards Incomes the general manager of the tack factory. Touis Anrkep fills a dual role very nicely as the town capitalist and afterwards a detective. Krman Heavy made a very lifelike retired judge and Harry Cornell also showed his versatility in a dual role. Clifford Alexander as Clint Hark inn, editor of the Battlesburg Blade, made an impossible sort of newspaperman, but like many of that profession, made good as a theatrical magnate. Miss Minnie Townshcnrl and Miss Dim pit Kelton had very light, but charming parts and ma.le the most of their little love scenes.

Miss Kthel Corley as the supercilious head waitress gave a very faithful presentation of a familiar country pe, and the other supporting characters, not forgetting Miss Daisy d'Avra as Dernpsey, were All true to life and helped out the extensive variety of tvis which this comedy drama presents.

PANTAKES Quite up to Its usual standard, the Pantages bill "scored several hits with the usual large Monday afternon audience. The star net is Billy liecves.

In hill new pantomime, "Too Full for and tlie act does not belle the title in the least. Judging by tho applause from the masculine eletrn nt. Mr. Keeves i. the act to perfection.

A unique feature is that everything the late comer home sees after his night of Jollity Is presented to the audience. Snakes, arms waving in the air, tables that whirl round and round, spectres, and all the vH'ons of a man "too full for wards wer and 141 Hastings South T'akota liivorce," are a strong and pleasing feature of tlie programme. Mr. Knnnett sings many old favorites, ome of which were, composed by his distinguished father, including by," "I'mkoo." "Swc et Violets," etc. Mis Crane delights tiie audience with her grace and clever acting.

"The Irish Wizard." as Lawrence Crane styles himself, shows himself to be one of the cleverest masters of magic In the profession. Ills "Pen of Mystery" is well named and he mystifies the audience with tho lightning rapidity with which he performs hi tricks and feats. Morrissey and llaiilon, two most original young men, sing some very eccentric songs and kei tho audience in fits of laughter with their play of wit. Their act is a splendid one and is much appreciated as indicated by tho generous applause accorded them. A quartette of singers, including Tod rlek, Goodwin, ortmuir and Price, all well known on the I'aolfic coast, Is another pleasing feature.

They all possess strong, clear voices, which blend beautifully in every number. Their selections, abounding In rare humor with perfect harmony, earn for them an enviable and will deserved applause. Possessed of a strong, clear contralto voice and charming personality, Miss Mamie Fleming wins her audience from the start.
