There la one happy result from such a
part an actor has only to play himself
and he is thus portraying and depleting
an actor, iiut there are handicaps, too.
There Is no eccentric make-up to help out
n comic effect; no antic lens dad In
tiht; no armor a.s in "El Capitan;" no
scholar's rcbe us in "Dr. Kyntax." So, if
these advantages aro gone, be.nj genulncl
and legitimately fumy Is, therefore, mc.ro
(if an achievement; lesa tricky and more
huiiiHily arjstlo. And funny Mr. Hop
per Is.
Tho actor of the old school Is easy to
burlesque. He had pronounced mannerisms
ai.d he often over-acted. Accordingly, when
it cullies to make fun of him there is a
ni'cut temptallun to exaKeraie these ina.ii
.itilsnis und to parody hid over-acting to
the point of Bheer rant. One Is rather
grateful to Mr. Hopper for exercising due
. txtralnt in this mutter.
Tho appearance of u Ie Wolf Hopper
n a eeiect boarding school for young
,omen han at first a flavor of "It. Syn-
ax," and a hundred comedies and farces
..Itli boarding nehool geoKtaphy are called
.o mind. Iiut If tho utene Ih not new and
.f a great deal of the comedy of the offer-
lig comes from mlHtalten Identities, these
jld InKrcdlents are mixed In new propor
.lons and rather newly flavored so that
the wiiolo lu not hackneyed to the taste.
Tho funniest thing In "The Matinee Idol"
comes when Hopper Is forced by clrcum
Ktunces to pretend to be a physician and
Is called upon to treat a youth who Is
shamming Illness. A little collusion pro
duces as quick a euro as Is guaranteed by
panacea advertisements The quack doc
tor attributes his skill to mesmeric In
fluence and there 1, after a little more
domonsti atlon. afforded the chance to
bring in the chorus for an hypnotic dance,
which Is ono of the prettiest things In the
melange of farce, comedy and singing.
Musically, "A Matinee Idol" Is highly
pleasing. There are an abundance of tune-
Y ful, catchy songs, with the Inevitable
whistling accompaniment from the high
gods, and there are several silolxts with
sweet voices, chief of these being Miss
Harriet Hurt, a handsome young woman
who commanded attention by her ward
robe as well as by her physical and vocal
charms. The dopth of the back V In one
of these gowns would make even Iotta
Fauat envious. There Is much dancing
through the comedy, Mr. Hopper cavorting
with wonderful grace for his size and
Miss Berta Mills, who also sang with a
pure and txpresslve soprano voice, trips
a most graceful toe. George Mack, a
diminutive comedian, about as big as a
minute, is a constant foil for Mr. Hopper,
who bulks enormous alongside him. Hop
per, for once, escaped reciting "Casey at
the Hat."
"The Convict's Syr eetbeart" at tUm
Kroa;.
When Owen Davis wrote the dramatic
nn-ials of his hero, Frank Templeton, he
endowed him with the cunning of Natty
liun.po. the venturesome agility of D'Ar
tagnan, the luck of Jean Val Jean and a
stveetheart.
This interesting young man shoots and
plots his way through an apparently Inex
tricable maze of villainous machinations,
wins his way from prison, escapes twice
and slays Ills persecutors, marrying the
girl of his love In the end.
"The Convict's Sweetheart" loses noth
ing of the thrilling Interest that the play
wright designed in Its presentation at the
Krug, where the company will close the
week. Crape Wilbur in tha role of Frank
Templeton satisfies the audience almost ss
completely as does his firm but frivolous
friend, Terry McNeil, represented by W.
E. Browning. Terry Is a better comedian
than a tragedian. One likes him best
when he laughs. Frederick Curtis as the J
villain, Horace Wayland, gets h!sslng
