Spring Advantages * It was tho climax of a succession of flrst-clnss offerings which 'Manager Maglnnis and the opera house committee has booked for the post-lonten season. The costumes and scenery were superb and historically satisfying. To this add the fact that there were no long waits while the massive stage paraphernalia was being changed for the many scenes and you find yourself with no excuse for further criticism. Of the other members of the east who contributed to the power of the play were Francis McGiniLt first as Henry VI and later as thV Earl of Richmond. Miss Marie Booth Russell, as Lady Anne, Miss Margaret Gray as Ellabeth, widow of Edward IV, Guy Llndsley, as the Duke of Buckingham, and Miss Loraine Frost as the Prince of Wales. Then Mantell's physical powers either waned in the last and battlefield scenes or the audience became surfeited with Richard's bloody excursions. • The audience last night was a Mantell, but not a "Richard the III" assemblage. judged by its manifestations. The eminent exponent of Shakesperean tragedy charmed, thrilled ami elevated his audience to the highest altitudes of ecstac.y by his art but it became over-anxious to gloat over tho fall of the most cruel, unconscionable, monstrous, diabolical, hunch-back, Richard. This was plainly Indicated by the storm of applause which followed the final scene on the field of Bosworth. Robert Mantell was advertised as the attraction and he was. Patrons «»t" the Jefferson Theatre will differ In their opinions as to the merits of his "King Lour" and his "Richard the III," but there can ho no doubt as to the histrionic excellence of cither. This is said, however, with reference to those who read and love Shakespeare, or art for art's sake, or both. To all such. It was an event. Big Hun, Reynoldsville, Brookvllle, Indiana and other surrounding towns coiitrlhuted their share of the splendid crowd, as many as forty and llfty from each, and a number came from more distant towns. "Richard the III" last night, surpassed by far any that has yet assembled in the Jefferson Theatre. All records for attendance were broken ami had those who remained In the foyer, prefer!ng to stand instead of taking their places in the uppor part of the house, every seat from pit to dome would have been occupied. It was Indeed a citified affair, not alone in numbers, but in the many handsomely gowned women and well-dressed men,, who occupied the boxes and the auditorium. They came in street car parties, carriages, cabs and automobiles and many of them late, too, and after the play formed parties and socials in the club houses and private homes. In point of numbers, In quality and social distinction, in local histrionic importance and at the box office, the audience that greeted Robert Mantell, in THE HOME Punxsutawne I Ha tooth, steel frame and Perry wood frame harrows.
