I Ocutor. It l
"The Prisonor of Zenda," tho latest of
Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theatre suc
cesses, comes to the Lansing theatre for
one night, Wednesday, November 18.
"The Prisoner of Zenda" was adapted
by Edward Rose, from Anthony Hope's
remarkable romantic story of that
name, and on its production by Daniel
Frohman at tho Lyceum, proved one of
tho biggest successes in tho history of
that pretty little play house, and it held
the boards there for over 200 nighki. It
is said to bo one of tho most picturesque
and pleasing plays that Mr. Frohtran
has ever placed before the public, whoso
appreciation of its sterling dramatic
qualities, aa well aB the masterly and
artistic manner in Thich it is staged
and acted by his specially selected com
pany has been thoroughly demonstrated
by the marvellous patronage bestowed
upon the attraction in all tho cities in
which it has been seen. AH tho origi
nal scenery, costumes and effects will be
used here.
It takes but a glance at the peraonnelle
of Daniel Frohman's Lyceum company
which will appear in "The Prisoner of
Zenda" to convince the most exacting
theatre-goer of the Btrength and artistic
ability of the organization. Mr. Froh
man is ono of tho best known managers
in America or England. He has over
been identified with successful enter
prises and stock companies, and has
piloted some of the finest attractions
that have gone out of New York; among
them might be mentioned "Tho Charity
Ball," "The Wife," "Sweet Lavender,"
"Lord Chumley," etc. But everybody
who loves a Btory of the heart, whoso
blood will run a little faster at the sight
of a gallant deed, or whoso mind will
respond gratefully to a poetic sugges
tion in word or person, will be glad to
know that "The Prisoner of Zenda" con
tains all these elements, is beautifully
staged, excellently acted, and in a word
the most attractive play seen in years.
The scenes which are laid in Ruritania
offer ample opportunity for fanciful ef
fects in costumes and scenery, and the
artists in thesa two departments have
justified the lavish expenditurtb per
mitted them. Hence it is that "The
Prisoner of Zenda," as it will be pre
sented at the Lansing, will be clothed
and environed more sumptuously than
any of Mr. Frohman's other plavs. It
was this production which has given
the Lyceum players a better opportun
ity to display thoso dramatic qualities
fo'r which they have become so well
known in all tho principal cities. The
story of the play is in a prologue and
four acts and hinges op the coronation
of Rudolf V, King of Ruritania, and tho
plot toget him drunk and let the crown
co to a Bcheming rival. Tho prologue
is supposed to have its action in 1733.
The play proper opens in tho forest
near Zenda, tho time being 1894, where
a young English artist who is at work
beneath the outstretching branches of a
creat oak, and to him comes Rudolf Ras
sendyll, the hero of the story. The
meeting with Col. Sapt and Fritz Van
Tarlenheim followB, and then the intro
duction of tho unfortunate king-the
coronation of his double-colored with
a dash of humor here and there, which
Kives it spice, takes place in the second
act During the action of the third act,
the bogus king meets Hentzan. the
henchman of the conspirator, Black
Michael, at the castle, and before leav
ine Hentzan stabs Rassendyll. The
last act showB the dungeon at Zenda
where Rassendyll rescues the real king
and returns him to the throne. In the
meantime, however, the strongest dra
matic emotions are developed in tho
love that springs up between tho im
poster king and tho beau'.iful but real
Princess Flavia. The parting between
the two lovers which ends the play, is
one in which the strongest emotions aro
displayed and is infused with unusual
pathos. The curtain will rise promptly
at 8 p. in., on account of length of per
formance, and no one should miss the
prologue, as it contains ono of the most
dramatic incidents of tho play. Remem
ber the date Wednesday evening, No
vember 18, at tho Lansing theatre.
