Alan Dale, the celebrated dia- I niati;^ critic on the New York Ameri can. is probably the “coldeat-b'ooied’ reviewer in the country. Hi? iien seonis to ’:e stfeeped in pure s^rcasai. His review of a ‘first ^ight’ is a thing of horror to the average producer. Of Bailey and Austl nlh “The Top O’ Th’ World” he said (New York American, issue of September 5, 1908)—“To be jjeructly candid I expected for the most part to be bored. I acknowledge treely that I was not. It is really a won derful show—and I say wonderful ad visedly, It has Eo many novelties. And everybody now^adays se^ms to have run out of noverties. The scenic ef fects are astonishingly' good. Bailey and Austin, seen as two strange me chanical toys, a “Jack-In-The-Box and a “Candy Kio” did almost everything in the repertoire of amusement. They danced—many times an,d excellently— they juggled; they played musical in struments—they fell down—and fell down excellently—they ‘gauged’ (I think I have tihe correct expression)— they were almost always evid^t, and I laughed—laughed heartily. It iJroved my contention that’you must go to ‘the varieties’ fon clever comedians. I understand that they have served a long apprenticeship in ‘the varieties’ and It was evidenced by their most ex cellent stylg' of entertaininfi. I think “The Top O’ Th’ World’’ will stay at the Majestic for many months to I come.”— Scene From ‘‘OVER NIGHT.” ‘‘Introduce Me.” An important theatrical event in the local season is the engagement of the new coniedy, “Introduce Me” that will be ^een at the Academy of Music soon. This comedy was written by Della Clarke, the well known young author-actresa and she will be Been in the star role here with her original New York cast. Miss Clarke has evolved what is said to be a story of gripping interest from the theme of the wife who is & stronger mental vessel than her band or yet the world estimated; She has drawn a novel story and has built a play that is said to abound in heart interest and to be rich in com edy. The stori' of “Introduce Me” hinges on the family affairs of George Nichol and his wife. George is an unsuccess ful author. His wife, under the name of Francis' Everton and wholly un known to her husband, is also an au thor and a successful one. She has written a book called “Susan” that has created a sensation and her actress friend, Edna Somers, wants it dram atized for her. They arrange for George to make the book into a play, he of course still being in ignorance that his wife has written it. George and his wife become gstranged and are not brought together again until the night the play Is produced and is a great success. He then learns the true value of his wife and all is happi ness at the end. In the presentation of- this strong and beautiful story Miss Clarke has surrounded herself with an exception al cast. Among those supporting her are Harry W. Pemberton, for seyeti j'ears with Willi&m A. Brady’s attrac tions, Clara Krall, who is kell known in New York and who recently starred in “The Great Divide,” Gordon De Maine for many. years with Charles Frohman, A. C. Hi Rivers, for several seasons prominently associated with David W’arfield and Jo§ie Morris Sul livan, who-^recently scored a big hit under David Belasco in “Is Marriage a Failure?” • i»u THHT'iTDU 5i\Y l^PiY - ISKV • U/KE.! 15RY” TO EVCRYTHING I artf !’ IP I DO 5AY" ISflY- IT ILL BECOMES YOU TO SAY I S/\Y- OH’ I SAY- EXCUSE 1 SAY” TO EVEKYTHING ISAY- BECflUSg- I SAY \T IS ALL • HEARSAY 7 ■m ■A The Passfon Play.” At the Academy of Music in th6 near future Mr. Henry Ellsworth, the American traveler, will givfe his pic torial reproduction “Oberammergau. Its People and Their Passion Play of 1910.” Mr. Ellsworth has recently re turned from his eleventh summer at Oberammergau. His 304 superbly and correctly colored views are not con fined to the Passion Play alone. On the contrary he takes his- audience through the streets of the village, to the homes of all the principal players, to te little stores and shops, then to the King’s Castle at Lihderhof. He shows how the Passion Play was given before the erection of the present the atre (1899), tourists going to and returning from the play. Then fol lows a series of marvelous ^iews show ing every scene and tableau in the Passion Play of 1910. A special fea ture of unusual interest to all intelli gent persons will be the introduction of some of the original Passion Play music of 1910. This music has never been published. Mr. Ellsworth obtain ed a manuscript-copy of several of the most interesting numbers and they .will be rendered during the view of the scene or tableau for which it was com posed. One of the selections has been rendered in every production of the Passion Play for 200 years. Singers, cathedral chimes and organ will be in troduced during the beautiful views of I the Oberammergau church. Mr. Ells worth’s entire entertainment will be given here precisely as it was pre sented at the New York Hippodrome. Charlotte, Dec, 9, 1911. Dear Santa Claus.
