At tha Kru "Anson came migmy near preaam oma records, and tha fine bill at tha Crelghton-Orpheum wa given encouragln - upport by the public. Tha ghow at tha jpport by the public. carnival around hardly sot a fair start, for the weather interfered to aoraa extant with them, the rain eutlinr attendance down to nothing on Friday. Saturday afternoon mora than mada up for thl, though. . The coming week will be another buay one, for each of tha theater, will ba open full lime, saven night and threa matinees, and tha carnival ahowa will be in full blast, with the Ak-Sar-Ben festivi ties to take tha plaae of the horse show, ; - Whan H5j' IL Bothern was in Omaha two seasons ago, playing tha part of ranool Villon In "If X Ware King' ha spent noma momenta la talking-with a friend , about "Shakespeare's tragedies, and among them "Romeo and Juliet," It was suggested to Mr. Bothern that the role of Romko had lost Ita original Intensity by being aub- acted, or, perhaps, submerged Is tha better term, to a long Una of 'Juliets, with tha result that Romeo's Importance to " the story bad been lost ight of in tha interest that Surrounded the youthful' daughter of ' tha Capulets, who bursts Into womanhood over night, as It were. " "Quite my nation," said Mr. Bothern. "Romeo should be mada a leading character, as ba was originally Intended to be, and It is one of my desires that X may soma fay ba permitted to play Romeo as tha Important character of the great tragedy." That was long before his engagement with Miss Julia Marlowa had been broached, but that fortunate arrange- . "t-f to gratify his ambition to restore Romeo to his clace as a hero, and this without In any way detracting from tha ' Importance: of Juliet as a heroine, : Air. W. I. Hubbard, tha conscientious and generally sane re viewer for tha Chicago Tribune, says of tha part as presented by Mr. Bothern: . Mr. Bothern If one may judge from tha rortray&l ha has offered this week sees in Romeo a man of fino, sensitive nature, gifted both with brains and with a soul peculiarly responsive to approaching con ditions. His Is a prescient nature, and the ultimata tragedy which Is to overtake and crush him, although not yet in sight, reaches forward and darkens him with premonitions. The keynote of Mr. Both- em's Romee, It would seem, is to ba found in tha lines in Aot I: "For my mind Misgives ' Soma consequence yet hanging in tha stars Shall bitterly begin his fearful date With this night' revels, and expire the term Of a despised Ufa closed In ray breast By some vile forfeit of untimely death." . This making of Romeo a kind of fatalists is not without Its justification In the text. The line when Mercutio is slain: "This day's blaok fate on more days doth depend; ' this but begins the woe," as well as the final, "Then, I defy you, stars," when word oomee of the death. of Juliet these are but two of several lines in the text which might Indicate that Romeo is a man to whom, forebodings are uual. By making prominent this presctenoa of . "Romeo, as well as by eliminating . the ' strongly passionate and animal In Romeo's love for Juliet. Mr. Bothern has raised the character to the plan of tha truly tragic .The omission of most of tha lines of merry banter with Mercutio has made this treatment of the role possible.- and has rendered Mr. iothern's portrayal con sistent and artlatlo. The merry, passionate Romeo is not revealed, but the pennlve, re- fined, sincere one la. Watching Mr. Both ern, no one can doubt the nobility and the intensity of Romeo's !ov for Juliet, and to accomplish this is to elevate the tone of the whole love tragedy. There seema to be only one raise note in the actor realizing ' of such a oonoertlon of the character. Anl this finds Its origin In a mere matter of stage business. When the scene of the lover's parting Is revealed, Juliet is dis covered stretched at full length on a bed, and Romeo ts just rising from a seat be side her. He crosses the stage, picks up his girdle, and prepare to put it en. She springs to her feet, and la seen to be wear ing a white gown unnecessarily suggestive of a nlghtrobe. This undressed ooudltlon of both the lovers seem a touch of "real ism" which could well be spared. It may be -true enough to nature, but .it la an un- . deniable hock to the spectator, whoss poetic sensibilities have been appealed to by-alJ that has preceded. It sounds a note of passion and eensuality which Mr. Both ern and Miss Marlowe have kept absent from the harmonv of thHr ImnerannntltnM In all the foregoing scene, and which Is not heard again. The Shakespearean text sounds it. but correct revising has ellmln- sted it, and to moat excellent purpo.e. The Shakespearean direction for this scene doei not Justify moreover any such costuming, for the farewe'l Js supposed to be played the balcony, not liv Juliet's chamber. Surely both Mlas Marlowe and Mr. Bothern can afford to do away with a "realistic touch" which detracts from the poetlo beautv of their work. , It would be interesting- to know also how Mr. Bothern would Justify his Immediate and almost complete unmasking when first he meets Juliet: Romeo Is a personage well known by sight to thos In Jhe Capulet house, and It is scarcely reasonable to be ieve that he would dare uncover so fullv In the presence of hit sworn foes. A slight lowering of the mask for an instant might be In place, but not such a revealment of the face to all the guests a Mr. Solhern offers. And Is it probable that he would tn lk with the nurse so long ns he does in the present performance without aektng it ii m juuBi s laanury ana learning that she was a Capule-tT The aarru itv of the nurse would hardlv tava left h nii hisuV Jullrtuntold If given Sue? ft opportunity. Here is a point where "real ism- ana It methods would b well in place. , . . , If Mr. Hubbard will read again tha un edited text of the play ba may And com plete justification for the bit of stag bal nesa ha complains of. and atill ba enabled to exculpate the lovers from any implied -wrototuoln At any rata, that la a minor point, and at It beat or worst, is not at ail out of keeping with the general atmos phere of tha story. Of Mls Marlowa' part Mr. Hubbard writes: ' Praise virtually unqualified must be the : tribute to Miss Marlowe's Juliet as It stood 1 mvealed on Thursday eveuUig. 'i he open !ing night the earlier scenes did not fully jjailrf. There was too much ol the studied Wnd the finluai.

Manager- Burgess will offer ;at the Boyd theater for four nlghta and two matinees the latest comedy success, "Bird Center," by Glen McDonough, based on the famous cartoons by McCutcheon. Tha staging 1 by Julian Mitchell. McCutcheon'a cele brated aeries of cartoons depleting octal happenings in the "Bird Center" have achieved such vogue and popularity that It was , a foregone conclusion that they would ultimately be dramatised by somd astute claywrlght. "Bird Center cartoons" are the most amusing and novel series of pictures that have emanated from an Ameri can humorist of this generation. If the new play doe justice to McCutcheon'a crea tions it is sure to bring delight to tha play going population, of the continent. One fact is assured, however, by the announce ment of the new production here, and that la that "Bird Center," in It stage form, will receive a most careful and conscien tious presentation by artists of repute and versatility. Julian Mitchell, who is un questionably the greatest living stage man- ager that this country can boast, has xhnaen a east of nlavera that includes Ed- chosen a cast or players mat inciuo.es ward J. .
