Wednesday night Joe Ott gave us
"The Star Gazer" at the Lansing. It
is substantially the same as last year.
Of its class it is along In the front rank.
Eflle Ellsler presented "As You Like
It" at the Lansing Thursday night.
Miss Ellsler Is not a favorite in Lincoln.
As Rosalind she had to overcome a de
cided prejudice. She did better than
some people expected. It Isn't an easy
matter to compete with young and
beautiful and graceful actresses like
Julia Marlowe and Marie Burroughs
In the interpretation of the comedy of
Shakespeare. Miss Ellsler lacks the
physical attractiveness of Marlowe and
Burroughs, and somehow one could not
forget in the Rosalind the Hazel Kirke
of yore.
Living pictures have been superceded
in New York. During Ave minutes or
so of the "Miss Pygmalion" pantomime
at Daly's theatre the spectators are
deeply interested. Expectancy and ap
prehension are mixed in their minds.
Very likely some of them dread what
they Imagine Jane May is going to do.
This is In the scene where, as the sculp
tress in love with the statue, she makes
seductive overtures to it. She does not
leave the fact long in doubt that her
love Is carnal. She begins by making
wide eyes and enticing gestures at the
Ptone man, but he remains unaffected.
Then she proffers flowers. He doesn't
stir. She offers kisses and embraces.
He Is still unmoved. In a fury of desire
she resolves to tempt the cold fellow by
uncovering her person. Miss May Is
a vivid pantomlmist, and she makes her
Intention clear beyond a doubt. What
the startled people wonder is how far
she will go in denuding herself. Up to
this time she has been wholly enveloped
In an ample robe. She pulls this down
a little from her neck, in amorous co
quetry, and readjusts it. She uncovers
her bosom, no lower than good women
do in evening toilettes, yet with a sig
nificance which gives a wholly different
character to the sight. Modesty and
deviltry fight a moment for the mastery.
Dertyliv ssdba ivre Jereco Hqoe an mh
Deviltry wins. She strips the outer
garment open from hem to hem, etaotn
garment from throat to hem, and shows
herself in white drapery, the lower half
of which Is so soft and sleazy that her
legs are plainly outlined at every move
ment of them. The statue evinces no
responsive emotion. She Is resentful,
discouraged, exhausted. Miss May
comes from Paris, where extremely
wicked things are done on the stage.
Will she amaze the assemblage by any
further exploit? No. She sinks into a
chair and falls asleep. The statue be
comes alive, steps from the pedestal,
and goes toward the ardent woman.
Then the curtain Is let down.
A notable coming attraction is the
Holland brothers In "A Social High
wayman." The play on Its first pro
duction in New York in October made
one of the most pronounced hits of the
current season, the Hollands being un
der the management of Richard Mans
field. Though the present venture Is
their first In the starring field, both
brothers are extremely well and favor
ably known to the theatre-going pub
lic. E. M. Holland has been for years
a member of A. M. Palmer's company
He will perhaps be best remembered as
the creator of Colonel Moberly in "Al
abama" and the detective In "Jim, the
Penman." But in addition to these char
acters he has appeared In a wide range
parts with invariable success. Jos
eph Holland was for years a member of
Augustin Daly's company, which left
to join forces with Charles Frohman.
While with Mr. Frohman he made a re
markable hit in the leading part of
