25th, 1898 says of this company:
The presentation of the big spectacu
lar play, "Around the World in Eighty
Days," by the new and strengthened
stock company, was a bold stroke of
managerial ability, entailing a tremen
dous expenditure of time and money.
Many people take part in the perform
ance, and brand new and magnificent
scenery had to be provided. No better
show could have been seen regardless of
price. Mr. Readick is alwajs the big
part of any play in which ho takes part,
and during his short btny in Denver he
has shown himself to bo, not only a
finished actor, but a managor who
I knows how to get up a moBt enjoyable
entertainment every week at a nrico
that is in the reach of all . Among the
specialties of more than ordinary merit
is La Petite Reina, the child dancer
and tragedienne, who is a wonder, al
though only six years old, and has al
ready met with groat success in Europe,
New York and Chicago.
is eure to excite pleasurable anticipa
tion.
When a new star appears in the dra
matic firmatrent, the event is far too
important to be treated otherwise than
in a spirit of fervent thankfulness. "La
ToBca" may be regarded as -a typical
modern Faench play and a notable
example of the work of Dumas. "Fe
dora" is remarkable for its dramatic
force. Sardou employs the imagination
of his audience to picture scenes that
could not be presented, with the result
that the play, from the opening of the
first act, becomes one of absorbing in
terest. Miss Walsh is well known on the
American stage. She has successfully
appeared in many pieces and has played
a wide diversity of characters, but up to
the present time has never b tarred. But
the very training she has been through
has fitted tier for the work-she is-now to
ably performing. When it was decided
that through ill health Miss Fanny
Davenport was unable to go on with her
work, of all the leading women oo the
American stage, Miss Walsh was select
ed. It was no easy task to follow In the
footsteps of so distinguished an actress
as Miss Davenport. For years she has
been regarded as the leading actress in
America and her productions stood fat
beyond those of any other manager in
this country. But Miss Walsh haa
proved herself a worthy successor.
An excellent company has bees st
pecially choson with the view of making
the cast bb nearly perfect as possible.
