" -'X 'f-rr rlAJLJD) VOL. -1. 1R 4 71 III II L Hi II 1 1 1 II r III I r IIUUILISUL THAN PLEASED Mrs. William Calvin Chilton who appeared at the Auditorium last night in her great Monodrama, "Polly of the Citcus," captivated the entire audi reputation Mrs. Chilton deservedly this powerful play. From the wide rAtation Mrs. Chilton deseveatly eiy,js, it was confidently expected - that4 she would offer something well worth seeing but no one was pre pared " for a performance of such pleasing proportions as the one of fered last night. . " After a fiftten minute prelude by the band, the curtain was rung down to prepare the stage for the setting af this play. From the rise of the cur- tain for . the beginning of the Mono drama until the final denouement when Polly and the Minister are unit ed,, interest in the play never flagged but " grew more intense - as the plot progressed. For nearly one hour and a half Mrs. Clifton commanded such attention from the audience that you could almost have heard a pin drop anywhere in the large Auditor- ium. It requires a powerful person ality combined with remarkable his trionic ability to secure and hold in a compelilng grip for such a length of time an audience made up of all classes - of people. No more powerful testimonial of the real Tnerit of: the performance could be offered than this. If other evidence: were needed it could easily have been . found in looking over the audience during the more crucial moments of the play and seeing the handkerchiefs furtively raised to the eyes.-"" The different characters, some thir teen, in all, were portrayed witti-a - Tealism which was startling at times. Especially goad was the impersonation of 'Mandy" which could never have been distinguished from the real liv ing character had a "make-up" been possible.- - Her laughter, her dialect ; and her postures in this character have neyer been surpassed on the stage. Almost equally as good were the Minister, Polly, Uncle Toby, Fath er Jim, and in fact every individual character of the play. of this type is ex - carry to a successful A production tremely hard to conclusion but the star of last night really grew stronger as the plot thickened and the final act found some of the best and most expressive imoe-" sanation and mimicry ever sees in UU.lt u Ll Liii ' t OF THE The announcement, made exclusive- EX s SfASON : ly in yesterday's Daily Herald, of a great auto parade and . hill climbing content here, has aroused the great est interest- v -' .
