ALL-bTAIt ICi:VIVAI, OT "LOUD AM LADY ALCiY" COMIN(i TO tin; OMVKll Corning to South HcnJ from the Garrick theater, Chicago, where an encasement H now in I roKress, the "William Faversham-Maxine KlliottIrene l'enwi' k-Maelyn Arbuckle all?tar ca.t in. the revial of II. C. Carton'ü com'i'.y, "Iord and Jxidy Algy." will be een at the Oliver theater on week from tomorrow r.Uht. It was Feb. 14, H'jd that "IxTd and I -ad Aly" was produced in New York. That wan before William 1'aver.ham had become a star. He was the I,ord AlKy of the ca?t. Miss Jessie Milliard was the Iady Aly, row acted by Miss Maxine. Elliott. The Urabazon Tudway of 1 S f S was K. . Rickus. In the revival Maclyn Arbuckle has the i.rt. Hlanche

Burton was the Mrs. Tu i way, nowacted by Mi?3 FVnwick. Mr. Faversham's revival brings fieort'e Fitzgerald as B'lrcf s-or to "W. Jf. Crompton, Lum-den Hare to Guy Standing1, Frederick Lloyd to J. H. Henrimo, Philip Leigh to Joseph Wheelock, jr., Eva La Gallienne to Lillian Thurpate and Florine Arnold to Iay Kobson. Mr. Carton's play is a comedy In three act. The Lord Algy of Mr. ravprsham -aas on of his early and very pronounced 5ucce.csem. It was Dec. 2 4, 1917 the revival was made under all-tar auspices. Having acted often in South Ilend Mr. Faversham is familiar to most theater-poera of this community. He was hern In "Letty." "The Squaw Man," "The Faun," "Julius Caesar," "The Hawk" and "Getting Married." O. I Hall of the Chicago Journal has htm In his list of tho 10 best actors In America. A long time about 10 years has elapsed since Maxine Klliott was last in South Bend. She had not acted in thld since 1910 until she came back from Kngland and appeared In this revival. Mips Klliott first came here as a co-star with Nat C. Goodwin when the Auditorium was opened in the fall cf 1S98. "An American Citizen" was the bill. The Cloodw ln-Klliott combination was also at the Auditorium in "When We Were Twenty-one" and "The Altar of Friendship." These offerings are all recalled with Kreat satisfaction by those who saw them. In 1903 Miss Klliott became an individual star in Clyde Fitch's play, "Her Own Way." Another Fitch play, "Her CJreat Match," was produced in 1903 and before fdio abandoned it she filled an Auditorium engagement. "Under the Greenwood Tree" was her vehicle in 1907 and "MyselMlcttina" the following year. Very late in 1908 Miss Klliott went Into the Maxine Elliott theater. New York, for the dedicatory attraction. "The Chaperon" was her play. Then came "Deborah of Tods" and "The Inferior Sex." Leaving the American stage she went to London, lived In retirement much of the time and after the war broke out gave her services to Kngland. There are many playgoers in South Bend who will welcome Miss Elliott back and also many who are eager to take advantage of their first opportunity of seeing her act. Maclyn Arbuckle first came to town with Stuart Ftobson in a revival of "The Henrietta" at the Oliver in 1902. He then played William H. Crane's part of Old Nick. At the Auditorium on the afternoon of Aug. 29, 1903. Mr. Arbuckle created the role of Hon. Jim Hackler in Georgo Ade's comedy, "The County Chairman" a great success. Then he played "Slim" Hoover, the fat sheriff, in "The Roundtip" and Illme Iok in "The Circus Man." Following came vaudeville engagements. Three years ago Mr. Arbuckle played Rev. Murray Hilton at the Oliver in the William H. Crane-Thomas W. Ross-Maclyn Ar-trjckle-Amelia Ringham-Mabel Taliaferro revival of "The Henrietta." then called "Tho New Henrietta." Early this season he was cast in "Misalliance." a Oeorge Bernard Shaw flay produced by William Faversham. It did not win sufficient popularity to warrant a long tour, although Mr. ArbueUIe's acting was unusual. After the failure cf "The Old Country." in which Mr. Faversham was starring, it was decided to revive "Lord and Lady Alg" and Mr. Arbuckle was chosen to play Tudway. Iren Fenwick i new to South Bend. She began her career, it is sail, as a chorus girl In "Peggy From Paris." Jn -'The Song of Songs." a daring play, .-he acted notably. That "Lord and Lidy Altry" is worth the revival it has been i;iven and that the revival its. If is worthy. Is ei.ier.t from the following opinion expressed in conru i tion with a review by O. L. Hall of Mu Chicago Journal : "Here is a handsome revival of a worthy comedy. with much pood acting in it. Faversham again rinds In Algy a happy opportunity for doing well the sort of thir.-r which h" always does with distinction. His is a most incratiatinc performance, fine in its contrasts and tine in its balance. Quality faces ouality when he and Maxine Elliott, a radiant Lidy Algv with a genius for weiring clothes, play vis-a-VM in Carton's delicately graceful eer.e. Arbuckle confronts Miss Fenwick's romantic yoang Mrs. Tudwuy with a believably r tl Tudway. ar.d I.umsden Hare takes position with thes' starred leaders with a first rate im; a rsonatiun of Algy's brother, the manjuis cf Ouurmby.

"IORD AND IiADY A LOY." "Lord and Lady Algy" brings to the stage a notatde quartet of stars and a supporting company of more than ordinary brilliance. William Faversham, Maxine Elliott, Irene Fenwick and Maclyn Arbuckle will be seen at the Oliver theater Monday. May 2 0. in this comedy by R. C. Carton. It was in "Lord and Lady Algy" that Faversham first achieved a brilliant success as something more than a well-dressed actor, by his finely conceived characterization of the young English nobleman, who has quarrelled with his wife and is accused of going from bad to worse In consequence. His reappearance in the role of Algy is of unusual interest, seconded as he Is bv Maxine

Elliott, who has returned from the neven years' retirement which threatened to keep her away from the theater forever. Irene Kenwiek i

:h Mrs. Tudway is seen in a char- j

acter entirely different from any i ft?.

?he has o far played, while Maclyn Arbuckle now appears in English comedy after a long period in American plays. Lord and Lady Algernon Chetland have separated because of the lack of ready money and differences of opinion as to the values of horses. Algy invariably backs the wrong horse, while his wife is more fortunate. They are, however, about to be reconciled, when Algy's brother, Quarmby, begins a flirtation with Mrs. Tudway and seeks Algy's aid. Through his good graces, Algy is eventually drawn into the complication. Algy's wife discovers him in a compromising situation, but takes the trouble to find out the truth of the matter before judging him. In the end she takes a hand in the game and straightens out matters to the satisfaction of everyone, including the jealous Mr. Tudway. Supporting the four stars is a company of exceptional interest, including Lumsden Hare, Florine Arnold, George Fitzgerald, Ronald Byram. Herbert Belmore. John Rogers. Daisy Belmore, Grace Ade and Mary Compton.

QUEER lU'IUAL CUSTOMS. For the latest edition of Lyman H. Howe's travel festival, which comes to the Oliver theater the last of the month, cameramen have captured some strange burial customs. Mr. Howe's tour of China, which headlines the new travel festival, for instance, includes glimpses of the century-old tombs of Chinese nobles, whose servants were executed and buried with their masters. Mr. Howe's trip through Alaska, another feature of the new program, includes views of Alaskan native graves, which are surmounted by tiny tents, in which are housed the clothing of the deceased. A great variety of other interesting things will be plctorially revealed in the two-hour presentation.

LASALLE

Roy Stewart, who ranks next to William S. Hart as an actor of western roles, dots his customary elective work in today's five-reel LaSalle feature entitled "The IJos of the Lazy Y."

"THi: BEAST OF BERLIN." A happy Belgian maiden, seeing her prospective husband clubbed to death with the butt-end of a musket, under orders from Gen. von Kluck; her father shot down and herself torn from the arms of her aged grandmother by a German officer, who fortunately was unable to accomplish his evil purpose; these experiences of Ruth Clifford, provide but a slight idea of the atrocities of the German barbarians in their advance through Belgium, that are faithfully and nuthentlcally shown. with many heretofore unknown insights into the private life of the German emperor, as played by Rupert Julian, in his sensational screen expose of the German brutes. "The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin." Is to be shown at the Oliver theater, starting Monday.

AT THE CASTLE

An O. Henry story is sure to contain f surprise. The Vitagraph feature shown at the Castle today and entitled "An American Live Wire," is no exception to this rule. Karle Williams, a popular matinee Idol, is the star of this five-part picture which divides its scenes between Central America and the United States. The rdot. while melodramatic, contains enough of the unusual to add comedy relief to the heavier situations. This rascinating story of love and diplomacy was adapted from the late O. Henry's "Lotus and the Bottle." San Fernado Mission, one of the most famous and nitv-t visited spots in southern California, is filmed In several scene?. Not only does this Mission provide an extraordinary and artistic and beautiful setting, but to easterners who read the railro.iii guides, it will recall all the charm and romance of the spot. "The Marriage Lie" featuring Carmel Myers is tomorrow's excellent five-reel offerinc at the Castle theater. The story is novel in theme and tells of a young man who desirous of obtaining a certain position on his? merits as a married man picks out a girl at random and introduces her as his wife. Returning from South America several vears Liter he meets and falls in love with this same irirl under most extraordinary circumstances. She ha sremained true to him in his absence and the picture finds a happy culmination in the love of these two people. "The Ragle's Rye" is also shown on the same procrxm On Tuesday "In the Hands of the
