Tlddlsh is one of the many languages
which the ordinary theatergoer does not
speak, but illitersry in this tongue Is net
diAQnaliflcatlon to the enjoyment of th
acting of Madame Kenny Liprln. who.
with her company, presented "Mlrele Ef
fro"' last evening. The drama bear th
sub-title of "The Jewish Queen Lesr." a
caption which would lead to the correct
supposition thst the drama, which Is by
Jacob Oordln, ts a study In fUlal revolt
and Ingratitude. There la, cf course, a
change from the Shakespearean tragedy
named. In the sex of the principal char
acter and likewise the Gonertl and Regnn
of the Gordln play are sons Instead of
daughters. There Is one other fairly Im
portant divergence from the old tragcdyi
for the ending cf "Mlrele Effros" is happy.
It la hardly too much to ssy that just
as one need cot be proficient In French to
get an evening's pleasure when Bernhardt
holds th boards, or In Italian when Dues
plays "La Toeca," so similarly the acting
of Madame Llpsln has an universal ap
peal. During her first scene, when she
rules the home, imperious, dominant, al
most regal; during another scene, when
her sons rebel and clamor for a division
of th estate left by their father, the
mother now at ence affronted and grieved;
sgaln when she recites how the father
really left nothing but debts and bow she
trcrght the estate to affluence all the
varying emotions she felt could easily bs
read upon a mobile countenance, what was
passing in her mind was made clear
through gesture, Intcnatlon and accent.
It must not be thought thtt the author
who wrote th drama lrnown a "The
Kreutxer Sonata" has really copied the
Shakespearean plot, for except In the gen
eral way indicated there Is a wide diverg
ence. The discord In the home begin
whn Joseph, the elder son. has Introduced
his bride there and also her good-for-noth
ing father.
It la tb daughter-in-law, Schendele,
P'-ayed by Miss Schoenhols, who proves to
be the serpent in Eden. Once the money
is secured. Xochemse Chan Dvore, the
father-in-law, proceeds to make ducks and
drakes of it, the daughter stirring up all
the trouble she can, and Daniel, the other
son, helping things along by becoming
thoroughly dissolute. Wbst really forced
the harrassed mother to leave the bom
was, however, sn accusation of dishonesty
against Schalman (Mr. Hirsch) for thirty
years her bookkeeper and confidential as
sociate In business. After a nerve-racking
scene in which time. Lipiin rsn the gamut
of anger, sorrow snd heart-deep grief, she
goes away to find a refuge In Schalman's
home. With him she re-engages In busi
ness, snd thus by th Um her sons hsve
lost all their money she is once more In
opulent circumstances.
The medium of reconciliation is a grand
child. Mlrele Effros dwells Brain where
formerly she hsd swsy. snd with a firm
command of the domestic exchequer and

Vaadevllle at tke Orphean.
Bo tense and gripping is the sketch. "The
Operator," at the Orpheum this week, that
when sn engine's whistle signified that the
feared horrible wreck had not happened,
an audible sigh went up from the audi
ence. A fine-spun debate might be held
as to whether or not the sketch Is melo
dramatic. At any rate, for ninety-nine
out of every hundred spectators it is far
more thrilling than any "Dip of Death,'
or "Slide for Life" could possibly be. Ly
ter Chambers plays the telegrsph operator,
who. at the end of a seventy-hour con
tmuous trick lets two trains come near
smashing head-on. Clara Knott is Sally,
th operator's wife.
The situation Is tense enough with a col
lision imminent, but Just to mske It thor
oughly harrowing Charles Kenyon, the
author, causes his hero to resolve to shoot
bis wife, bsby and himself If, when the
clock strikes eleven, the whistle does not
signify that the catastrophe has been
averted. As the cIocS strikes, the half-
erased man raises his revolver tnechanl
ca:iy and as the hour is tolled off the sit
uation becomes almost unbearably taut
strung. It is a tribute to the acting of
the man and woman that the climax li
thus so convincing thst the sound of th
whistle is a veritable relief. The sketch
Is admirably staged and ths simulation of
the sounds of an approaching and depart-

the richest of good natured comedy In It,
so that it is in all ways enjoyable.
Mr. Grew is presenting the role of a
young American sculptor who went to
London, leaving In New Tork a girl who
hsd pledged her heart to him. He struggles
with fortune, keeping his heart true and
his hand open to every one. A woman
comes to his studio dying, and begs him
to care for her baby girl. He promises, and
before he has time to regret the woman
dies. Th little one easily finds her wsy
into his heart, but after three years the
girl he left In New Tork calls on him to
demand that he make his choice between
them. He declines to send the little one
away, and she charges him with being
fall hi ess and leaves him to wed snother.
Ten years later shreturns a widow and
seeks to win blra back, but he discovers
that ward, grown to be a woman, hss be
come more than a ward, and the play end
both logically and happily. It requires of
Mr. Grew that he be simple and natural,
and h- is. easy and accurate in his work
and making his points with great cer
tainty and without apparent effort. It is
pitched in a minor key, and is very well
rendered. Incidentally, he proves thst he
Is not altogether unfamiliar with ths wsys

act to call him a "mother In trousers." He

skill of a paterfamlliaa of experience
Other little touches add much to the ex
cellence of the characterisation.
To make Claudia properly it will be light
to treat her in an ascending scale, even as
did tha author. LllUe Mercedes Spong. who
is a cousin once removed of Hilda Spong
ahows traces of the ability of her better
known cousin. Shs was a tremendous sue

"prodigy." And Cecilia Margulta, who Is
trifle more familiar with play acting.
was very charming as the -year-oil
Claudia. Her preparations as well as her
aspirations for the coming of Ssnta Claus
and her solicitude for "Daddy" and Puck
ers and all the rest evinced a natural sp
tltula for sssumlng a part. To say Miss
Ellott gives to the 18-year-old Claudia the
graces snd girlish sttrsctlveness of the age
tells It mildly. She is still the artless girl
at ber entrance, but suddenly developes
Into a woman under the impulse of a love
that la not discovered until snother asks
her to marry. Then aha realises that she
is no longer a child. The closing scenes of
the plsy are between Miss Eliott and Mr.
Connor and Mr. Grew, and are delightful.
To change from th role of Camille to that
of Claudia is a complete reversal, and to
do it as well aa Miss Ellott has dons
speaks much for the adaptability.
Ths comedy Is furnished by the other
members of the company. Mr. Connor is
very good in the role of Jack Rodney,
otherwise the earl of Canterbury; Mr. Clls
bee makes a bully good serving man and
general factotum around the studio; Miss
Jeffery hss a character that gives her fine
chsnce for her bent for comedy, aad Messrs
lngraham, Todd snd Bacon are a trio of
happy-go-lucky artist chsps who help the
prince chsp to lesd a merry life la the
studio building. Miss Btesrn ha th only
thankless role In th Wll, that of tb girl
who Jilts the prince chap, but she does
her part welL Miss Downln has the role
of Claudia'a mother and ker short scene
is effectively done.
