Norman Hackett ia “A Doable
Deceiver*\
After the m.my problem plays
that .have bten ciaiming the at
tention of ihaater goejcs lately,
it Will be a relief to see Norman
HacKett in his refreshing, new,
comedy-drama, “A Double De
ceiver,” at the Piedmont ThuriS-
day evening, November 20. Mr.
Hackett^s play tells a cheerful,
thrilling entertaining story, that
has for its background the beau
tiful tropical Spanish setting of
South Amer]^. It is embellish
ed with special music, rich color
ing and the fascinating
phere, associated with that ro
mantle country. Delightful Com
edy punctuates the action of the
play throughout and in the role
of “Ambrose R. Fitzgerald'’
Mr. Hackett has an opportunity
to display his versatility for light
comedy ^touches which reveals
this talented actor’s personality
in a new and most attractive
light. The play has b^h found
ed on one of O. Henryfamous
stories by Donald Qlive Stuart
who is on the faculty of Prince
ton University. It has been one
of the substantial successes of
the season and bids fair to pre
cipitate an 0. Henry vogue on
the stage as its author has al
ready been commissioned to adapt
other 0. Henry stories
for dramatic purposes.
“A Double Deceiver” deals
with the love affaii' of an Amer
ican soldier of fortune and a
South American beauty. It is
garnished with the tinkle of
guitars, the languor of soft Span
ish eyes and the treachery of
Latin American nature and is
not,a melodrama as its title might
suggest, With the eyes of the
world focussed on Mexico, Pan
ama and other sections of^.that
country “A Double Deceiver”
comes ata most opportune time,
and maybe said to be a faithful
picture of Spanish America. Mr
Hackett will receive the support
of an excellent company, inelud
ing the well known actor Herbert
Fortier, Ilka Earie Deihl, Blanch
Seymour, Burton R jbbins^ Ed
ward Susdorf, Anna B. Price,
Carl Reed, Andrew Streng and
Alice Morton.
Already ample preparations
are being made for Thanksgiving.
The annual College Dinner will

tertainment. The Music Depart
ment will give its Fall Term

expected and withal a gala time,
with athletic events and social
diversion thrown in for good
measure.

0: HENRY OH THE SrAGL
Undoubtedly the best popular
short story writer since the days
of Edgar Allen Poe is conceded
to be O. Henry, who in ptiyat©
life was knows a,s; Wm. Sydney
Porter. 0. Henry died two years
ago, bi>it hi8^!ji|i8 is destined
to live and brin^ t® his name the
postumous fame it deserves j as
the demand for his booka has
steadily increased and is now
tremendous. He is regarded as
the American Kipling—the Am
erican master of the short story
—the fciunder of a new style -a
hew literature. Other nations
are going wild over him. Mem
orials to him are being prepared.
The text books of English litera
ture iare includitig his stories,
colleges are disciwsing his place
ih literiaiture, while theatrical
firfltts are at last awakening to
the dramatic possibilites of his
stories and vying with each oth
er for rights to. dramatic them.
His first story to reach the
stage was “Alias Jimmy Valien-
tinfe” which s^red, with a re
markable succejsts its vogue is
now a matter of theatrical his
tory. To Norman Hackett is
how due the credit of giving to
the stage the second O. Henry
story “A Double Deceiver”,
which he will present in this
city under the title of “A Double
Deceiver” at the Piedmont Opera
House on Thursday evening,
Nov. 20th.
The dramatization of the parti
cular story was made especially
for Mr. Hackett who first realize
its possibilities; by Donal C.
Stuart, a brilliaiit yOiing drama
tist who is on the faculty €f the
Princeton University. So suc
cessful has the play been that
Mr. Stuart finds himsel f already
besieged by Manjagers to drama
tize other 0^ Henry stories, so
that it looks “as if we were in
for a run of 0. Henry fables on
the stage a welcome prospect to
to the manifold lovers of his
unique fiction.
The scenes of “A Double De
ceiver” are laid in Texas and
South America and affords ample
scope for beautiful stage pictures
of Spanish life and tropical ver
dure, all of Which have been
taken full advantage of by Mr,
Hackett’s managers who have
provided a magnificent mounting
for their clever young star and
his newest triumph. While “A
Double Deceiver” tells an absorb
ing stor> which holds the specta
tor thrilled to the final curtain it
is filled with delicious comedy,
cheerful scene, bright ;costumes
and fascinating Spanish music,
all of which appeal strongly to
audiences who want amusement
as well as sensation in the theatre.
