THINGS THEATRICAL. a Few Live ^Onen for Four Beue- - lit. A small but enthusiastic audience greeted the Richards and Pringle’s •Borgia Minstrels Wednesday evening ' the Star Theatre. The show was r .rst-class, in fact the best minstrel -now by colored people we have ever itnessed. The comedy work of S. H Dudley was great. He can a^t M'ore like a negro than any negro we • '■ve ever seen. The chorus was es- p daily strong and the olio was giod. The “Middleton Stock Co.," will d the boards at the Star Theatre i xt Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- v nights, in an entirely new roper- ’ re at popular prices. So marked has been the sensation -■ ated by ‘ ‘The Favor of the Queen" > -vhich Miss Percy Haswell is to be seen at the Star’ Theatre October 30 supported by the George Fawcott Company, that Mr. Fawcott, imme diately after the production, signed a contract with the author, Roy S. Sensabaugh, for hit next play, “The Favor of the Queen" shows dainty Percy Haswell surrounded by the same company and with the same scenic equipment she is to use later in the season when the new play goes icto New York for a run. Special music for the prcductiou of “The Favor of the Queen" was com posed by E. V. Cupero. One of these, a drinking song in the second act. sung by Miss Haswell won the ho*or of fourteen recalls on the original production of the piece. Edwyn Evans, who plays the Earl of Essex, the heavy part with Miss Percy Haswell in her starring tour in “The Favor of the Queen" is the son of a minister, Rev. Dr. Evans, pastor of the Monumental church iu Rich mond, Va. Mr. Evans went on the stage with the consent and assistance of his father and during the short time he has been in the profession he has won wide honors. His perform ance of Essex in “The Favor of the Queen" is one of the most finished performances he has .ver given. Miss Anita Hurroil, playing Anne Hathaway, Shakespeare’s wife in “The Favor of the Queen" is a direct desceudaut of Charies Carroll, oi Car rollton, aud has been for three sea sons a reigning belle (jin Baltimore society. Only a short while ago she decided to adopt the stage us a pro fession, and was cast for Anne Hatha way in “The Favor of the Queen," in which character she has scored a de cided hit. Regarding Simvelle’s successful pre sentation of Shakespeare’s * Romeo and Juliet." Now in its 56th conse cutive week. In spite of all predic tions to the contrary that “Shake speare spells! ruin," “Shakespeare don’t pay,” etc., we have proved con clusively that it does pay, that they want it. All these questions we have definitely and very satisfactorily de cided. Where plays of Shakespeare have been played to a very small re turns we have gone into houses run ning as high as $600—even where-the local mar agement hesitated booking us aud doubted that we would exceed $50. We have always maintained : that Shakespeare had to be adver tised just the same as a modern play —with a big variety A1 special pa per. The result has more than justi fied the .argument and experiment. Shakespeare is a sure go, no matter what the opposition may be or how strong—hut they want the paper, the company, gorgeous scenery, swell wardrobe and a presentation that can be staged on any sized stage. All this we have given them and it has cer tainly cost “all kinds of money" to reach the money making point. By far the most difficult point to make is i to get a company that can read Shakespeare—blank verse—decently. It is almost impossible to do so, strange as it may seem at first blush, but we have gradually envolved one j ‘.hat can be both heard and under stood—one that takes a dozen or more curtain calls every night on an average. W’e wish to call your atten tion to the following: After the performance at Cummirg’s Theatre. Fitchburg, Mass., Sept. 28. manager John R. Oldfield telegraphed ahead to managers as follows: “Sim- velle’s Romeo and Juliet Company played here tonight to a big house and gave entire satisfaction. Recommend them to your patrons." Waltham, Mass., Sept. 30, 1903. “Played Simvelle’s production of Romeo and Juliet last night to a large aud well pleased audience. Excellent production. Recommend them to your patrons." E J. Uutiey, mana ger Walthnm Park Theatre. A freight was wrecked on the C. & N. W. Mon day ufteruoou, between Maiden and Lincolnton. Several cars ran off and damage done, but no one dangerously injured Sin is like seed, to cover it is to cultivate it. PISO’S CURE FOR , CURES WHERE AIL ELSE FAILS. | Best CouKh Syrup. Tastes Good. Use In time. Letter to W. II. Gooding. Gaffney, S. C. Dear Sir: A gallon saved is $4 or $5 earned. Devoe saves 2 or 3 gallons in 10. How much is it worth a gal lon? A gallon saved saves the painting too; and both together cost $4 or $5— $4 where labor is cheap; $5 where lab'T is dear. Our agents in Bridgeport, Conn, Huhbell & Wade Co, tel! us: “There are a great many workingmen’s houses here. They used to paint lead-and-oil and take ten gallons. We have been sellling them ten gal lons, Devoe lead-and zinc, and have had, in every instance, two gallons returned " The proportion is often higher than that; we have known it five in ten ; but that is exceptional. This is the explanation : Devoe is ground by machinery, and ie ground fine ; le«d-fc nd-oil is mixed by hand, and isn’t ground at all. Yours truly F W Devojc A Co 30 A.
