increase in salary. They were also
, agreed that the teachers older In ex

Mr. Grimth Is no stranger to char

welcome. Much was , expected last
night and It Is enough to say that ho
one was disappointed. Mr. unmtn

of great action, the pan which he has
to play. The picture of the ambitious
and unscrupulous monarch resorting
to the most barbaric deeds In order
to accomplish his selflh ends, was as
fine as ever witnessed In the city. Es
pecially was this true In that scene
where, with the blood of the murder- r
cd King Henry the Sixth still on nts
hands, he woos and wins the widowed
Lady Anne, only to cast her aside a
Khort time after. The last act was
admirable. In the. scene In Richard's
tent, on Boeworth Field, where the
ghosts of those whom he had mur
dered visit him, was fine: so was the
duel scene with the Duke of Rich-
mond that closely followed It. All In
all, Mr. Griffith is an admirable actor.

play and never slow.
While the play was essentially of
but one role, the star was given fine
support;' William Lloyd, as Earl of
Richmond and Duke of Buckingham.
Claude Boarea, as King Henry the
Sixth, and George C. Gunter, as Lord
Stanley were all good.
Little Miss Gloria Moore, as the
child Duko of York was excellent.
She made a charming picture and was
heartily applauded. Mabel Htandlsh,
as Lady Anne, Anna Boyle-Moore, as
Queen Elizabeth, Mary Has well, aa the
Duchess of York, and Helene Wesley
as Edward, Prince of Wales, were far
above the average.
"Kins; Richard tho Third" Is a play
that is essentially Instructive from

The whole was well staged, admirably
