Theater David Warfield Pleases With Genuine Portrayal Of "The Auctioneer To comment upon the acting of David Warfleld seems futile if not, indeed, presumptuous. There Is so much which miht bo said rind yet so little, unless one is to give up to ranting superlatives. For after all that might be said, it simmers down to .omethin& like this; the art of this man simply approaches to within a degree of rhe ideal in genuine portrayal of li'e. When one goes to the theater and pees presented there a bit of the life about one, with lights and shadows intermingled, so deftly and artistically that one does not realize that it i. theatric iu.stead of real; well, one is likely to o asain. That, it is reasonable to suppose, is the secret of the popularity of David Warfield, the popularity which makes him undoubtedly the greatest attraction of a season and that with box oMlco prices .ky-high and "times" none too gracious. As his art is genuine anil faithful so is Warfield simple and plain, but lovable. The character in the few plays to which he has wisely restricted hlmsolf are very similar and doubtless some of the appeal lies in these characters as well as in the artist. While it is true that the academic definition of the drama lays down the Qualification that it must hold the mirror up to nature there are few instances in which the drama and the player both seem to approach so nearly the real spirit of that definition. "The Auctioneer", in which Warfield appeared at the Oliver before a crowded house last niht, is a play of peculiar appeal, not extraordinary, however, and certainly not a vehicle for any but such a star as Warfield. Just a wholesome bit of life with lots of laughs', some tears, and no sermonizing:. And because there is no sermonizing it drives home with Rreatcr force the philosophy of Fimon lvi. a philosophy in which sympathy, courage in infinite measure, and that other virtue, greatest among humanity, perhaps because it approaches most nearly tli divine example, forgiveness, are Mended into an hannonions whole. Of the cast outside of Warrleld it would be wasting words to say more than that it was fully capaWo. There Is obviously little opportunity outside the star's role although Marie Kates in the role of Mrs. Kagan presents a familiar enough character with more than ordinary success and therel-y ttands out from the re.t of'tho supporting company. Jennie Muscovite wa very well cast in the part of Mrs. levl and Harry Leuellyn played the part f the rapeirt 1-rother of Simon Ia1 convincingly. tiii: ham tki:i:." It would 1 e h.ird to find a more popular team of stance performers than art; Melntyre and Heath, who will fomo to the Oliver Sunday evening, in John (Tort's stupendous revival of their f,rcate.t success.

Hy it strange chance both wtro alto in their early youth taken to the couth, where probably were laid the seeds of their future careers. After having each 'for himself obtained some experience upon the boards chance finally, in 1ST 4, brought them together and they have never been separated since. It seems that they were the first to introduce buck and wing dancing to theater patrons, making their first great success in this novelty in Chicago and later repeating in Xew York where they set the audiences of Tony Pastor s wild with their act. Later they gradually forsook dancing and began their famous delineation of the negro comedy type, in which to this day they stand preeminent. In former days the name of their successful sketch was "The Georgia Minstrels." It was a vaudeville offering of the usual length. So successful, however, were they with it that upon their appearing on the boards of the legitimate theater they did not drop it, but surrounded it with the trappings of musical comedy, thus enlarging it to the proportions requisite for an evening's entertainment. The title, "The J Iain Tree" is taken from one of the funny portions in the lines of the original sketch. mistki:ls today. John W. Vogel's minstrels will be the attraction at the Oliver theater this afternoon and. night playing at popular prices. A special bargain matinee is announced with a ten cent price for children and twenty-five cents for adults. A street parade will be given at noon and concert in frcnt of the theater just previous to the performances. tiii: ArmroKii M. The Patsy IVolivar series on for today at the Auditorium is called "Patsy cn a Trolley Car" and is filled with thrills and sensations throughout. Patsy certainly has his troubles amicreates lots of fun for everybody. The other pictures for today are "The Vision of the Shepherd"; a two reel Selig drama featuring Kathlyn Williams; the Pathe daily nws with many interesting scenes of current events; "The Combination", a Vitagraph comedy with Sidney Drew and 'The Leopard's Lair", a Selig wild animal picture. Sunday's bill will include "The "Trapper's Revenge", a two reel Lubin: "When (Ireek Meets Ore'. a Vitagraph comedy; "The Woman Who Paid", a Kiograph drama; "The Bugle Call", a Selig wild animal picture and "Ham and Sausage Factory", a screaming Kalem comedy. AT THi: OKIMIFA M. The Diving; Nymph?, with their spectacular performance have proven a great drawing- card for the orphou m hill which continues until Sunday iiiht. The other acts coiisi-tir of the Four llubes. in th Hicks 'lie: Minstrels": Jerome and ('arson, in an eccentric comedy act: Claire Vincent and company in a dramatic sketch and Ziska. in comedy magical trb-ks and patter, have given splendid satisfaction.

Tiie film play starts . in peaceful country scenes and it ends there. Doris, the decoy, innocent, unsuspecting, trustful, is craftily, lured from her home and the, side of her gentle clergyman-father to undergo a harrowing series of adventures in the great city; but at length she llnds her way back home to peace and happiness and the play therefore ends as it began, in a delightfully poetical environment. I?ut. between the beginning and the end. the drama and tragedy of the intenscst, most lurid kind punctuated by some diverting comedy, are concentrated. On the same program is shown, "Love and Dough", a Keystone comedy. at Tiir: M..n:sTic. Final performances of '.he Majestic Musical Comedy company will be given Sunday night of the present bill called, "A Jolly Time". The many song numbers, the lively dances of the girl chorus and the efforts of the comedians have furnished an attractive closing bill. Beginning Monday the Majestic will show five acts of vaudeville and motion pictures. AT THIS SFKPRISi:. "The Me.rgain," a stirring story with an unusual plot, is shown at the Surprise today. A rich girl, disappointed in love and deserted at the altar, hires a poor, but handsome young workingman to take the place of the missing bridegroom. The resulting incidents and scenes are interesting. The same theater shows "Mabel. Fatty and the Law", a Keystone comedy. AT Till: COLONIAL. The Colonial offers a three feature bill today. "The Love Pirate." a story of a beautiful adventuress; "The Sea Nymphs," a two-reel Keystone comedy with Fatty Arbnckle and Mabel Nonnand; "The Dog Catcher's Hride." a funmaker with dogs, actors and lovers mixed up, all making a delightful program.
