DRAMATIC NOTES
It is u considerable stop from lav; to tho
stage, and Mr. Walker Whitesides does not
yet seem to huvo accustomed himself to tho
change. Tho Richelieu who stalkod about
tho stage of tho Lansing thoatro last week
was not the Richelieu of history or of art.
Young Mr. Whitesides seems to have drama
tic ability, but ho is dovoloping it in tho
wrong way. Ho pitches the koy of his work
too low and the key of voice too high. Ho
has tho one great fault of western actors, ho
rants. Ho lacks tho delicate taste and dis
crimination to know where oxcessivo emotion
becomes grotesque. Ho is a Keene without
Keono's lungs to shout or his wonderful ability
to rant. Of Mr. Whiteside's leading lady
little need be said, and that little is said in
all charity and sympathy. Sho has missed
her calling. Her faint we will try to forget,
let us remember her as wo last saw her in
health. - Richelieu is a poor play, yet it can
be endured; Mr. Whitesides is a poor actor,
yet ho can bo borne; but Richilieu and
Whitesides together !
A great play is a great experience. To
have seen Clara Morris in Camillo is an ex
perience not to bo regarded lightly or soon
forgotten. Perfect art does not come to us
so often thai wo can go over it lightly, and
when it comes to us in the form of Clara
Morris it takes us several w.eeks to ge over
it at all. We look upon her advent as tho
approach of tears and sorrow, and yet wo
spend days in looking forward to those two
hours and a half of solid agony, knowing
that we get more pain for the money than at
any other period of our natural life. It would
be a neat and appropriate idea for Messrs.
Church and Oliver to distribute souvenir
handkerchiefs whenever Clara Morris plays.
To criticise Clara Morris as Camillo is im
possible, sho h Camille. If one has any
criticising to do, thoy must do it on the
character or the drama itself. That Clara
Morris can play that play night after night
and suffer as she suffers is tho standing
St-to.
