IMR IRVING'S FINE ACTING I
MR IRVING'S FINE ACTING Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is not a play that could be produced by any company. It is too much like a hideoua nightmare in the actual unfolding of its weird story. But i with Mr. H. B. living in the dimcult double character it met with a nne reception at the New Theatre, Cardiff, on Monday. Mr. "Ionda r. Irving revels in heavy drama. He was suited to a nicety in representing the man of mystery and impaired health in the scientific doctor, with his crowd of friends. respected by the world as a leading light in his honoured profession, and in the bestial, mad, murderous Mr. Hyde. The marvellous manner in which he threw off the one charac- ter and assumed the other was most con- vincing. As Dr. Jekyll he was thoim?gh in every act and word. For an i?itator it would be said that the part was overdone, but with Mr. Irving it was a touch of that genius which is represented by hard, soulful work. He reached the greatest his- trionic heights as Mr. Hyde. and the drawing- room murder scene was terribly realistic. Again, in Hyde's lodging, the manner in which the drug transformed him to his better self as represented by Dr. Jekyll was elec- trical. and many in the well-ailed house found it impossible to restrain a startled exclamation at the shock. Then, in the last scene, when the minions of the law thought they had got their prey, he changed again into the respected Dr. Jekytl. It was a fitting climax to a great effort, which meant much concentration, almost endless energy. and not a little subtlety. In his make-up he produced a!" Dr. J&kyll the impression of a sleepless, absent-minded man of science, and as Mr. Hyde a wild beast in the dishevelled shape of a degraded man. At the end of each act he waj3 called before the curtain, and at the final responded to the call for a speech by simply thanking the audience for their kind reception of the play. and asking for their support in the production of the entirely new piece. The Princess Clemen- tina." on Thursday. As Mrs. Jekyll Miss Dorothea Baird had not a great part. but she was sublime as the blind wife. and her beautiful faith in the mad, distracted husband was pathetically convincing. The other important character I w&s that of Lady Carew. made uncommonly l attractive by the acting of Miss Grace Croft. This lady also found favour in the one-act play. The Maid of Honour." and there is no doubt that she is carving a name that will soon be familiar and beloved to all play- goers. Mr. Charles Sugden's presentation<of Sir Danvers Carew was delightfully fresh. while Mrs. Stanislaus Calhaem was most amusing.

LAUGHTER-AROUSING MATCHI
LAUGHTER-AROUSING MATCH I For a really popular music-ban turn it would be hard to excel Fred Karnos celebrated company of comedians in The Football Match." presented at the CardiBF Empire this week. It is all genuine comedy, and the fun waxes fast and furious. There is supposed to be a final cup-tie between the .Midnight Wanderers and the Middleton Pie- cans. and a bad, wicked gambler endeavours to bribe Stiffy." one of the goalkeepers, to lose the match. Unlimited comedy issues from this attempt by Hugh FitzHugh, the bold villain," who performs his part with a keen sense of humour. His other name is Mr. George Preston. Mr. Will Poluski. as Stiny," is also exceedingly good, and so also is Mr Jock Preston, as "Ratty," the forward. A real football field is laid out on the stage. and a real football match is played, and in the end the villain is dis- covered and tossed in a blanket in midiield, to the intense delight of the onlooking mul- titude. Terry and Tambert are a distinctly clever couple from the other side of the herring pond. and without giving the slightest 'Offence they present English types through American eye?." Mr. Terry'a delineation of a foppish English lord proposing to !tn American girl with millions of dollars is very nneiy done. qtid the appreciative audience I&ughed incont)nenUy. Artistes of genuine talent are Terry and Lambert. This was not their nrst visit to the Cardiff Empire, and the audience gave them a cordial re-welcome. EHa Retford. the popular comedienne, gave a, couple of delightful songs. entitled. Mr. McKay and By the light of the silvery moon." She has a pleasing stage presence, and dances as admirably us she sings. Sydney James's Strolling Players present a. charming pastoral entertainment, which is full of melody, for they are a company of highly capable vocalists. I)) their late-t absurdity. 'The Burglars of New York," the Alex. Piccard compa.ny of pantomimists Lrave a very fnnny turn, their knockabout atyte creating a great de.a.1 of laughter. On the bioscope some interesting pit urea were shown of scenes in Egypt. Germa-ny, Paris, Ac. The other turns are Little Keeno, comedian and da-noer; Rica.rdo and Salving, acrobats; and Bert Weston, comedian a-nd dancer.

Then she fell in love with a journalist, to whom she confessed her secret. At this moment M. Mencbikon' went over to the revoIutionarieR, to whom he gave a list of 'his cotlaborators.

"UNCLE TOM'S CABIN." -1 I Strikes and the genera! election may a6Tect I some people and places, but Stoll's Pauopti- I con still holds the favour of the populace, and crowded houses are the rule at this, Car- diff's picture palacf. This is not to be I wondered at when the general excellence of the programme provided is taken into con- sideration. A constant change of pictures. and those of the best. gives the spectator iUI I value for his money, and a little over. The piece de resistance this week is a pictorial production of the world-famous story. 'Uncle Tom's Cabin." Few stories have equa.He Mrs. Harriet Beecher-Stowe's for emotional and dramatic situations, and the tllms I present a thrilling series (in three parts) cf pictures of this great drama. Another Ameri- can picture which gained the enthusiastic approval of the house was a drama, entitled, "An Unfair Game." in which ara depicted the wiles of a society woman in ensnaring an unsophisticated backwoodsman. An exciting Western production which carried the audience with it was "White Fawn's Devo- tion." Humour waa not forgotten, and Tontolini as a Dentist" and "Wifnes Wants a Quiet Sleep raised laughter that did one good to listen to. Other good films were "The Struggle of Two Souls." "Wait Till I Catch You." and "Love Me, Love My Dog." Mr. Bert Williams maintains his popularity as an elocutionist, Mr. Ja,mes Hope sings to illustrations, and Mr. Bert Maddison gives an amusing travesty of how to dance. Miss I Hetty Hocking accompanies throughout, providing most acceptable music.

"Taken in time,' that chill can easily pass off with no bad reautte. Neglected—to what a variety of iUnesMN & simple chill paves the way! Our cUmate is particutar]y prone to beetow chiUa, because of its almost perpetual damp- ness. Most peopte know the neceasity of I dressing M-annly ard "according to the weather." but how to "xhake oft" a chill is an art not fo thoroughly mastered. an art not "I've tSl.keTl Mich a, chiU." say the Yictinm. and promptly resign themselves to an illcaas —giving up the ngbt for heath right at the time that the sharpest efforts are necessary. a One reason for taking Halt's Wine at euoh a time is that one's nerves are usually "on edge" when a chill or cold is present. The nerves need sootMng, invigorating, noarish- ina:—in a word. regulating. Hall's Wine is a nervine of great value. Its action is therefore twofold: certain of its properties operate directly on the nerves, while others set abott the replenishing of the blood with rich red corpnaclef, and thereby the rebuild- ing of the bodily tissue?. Medical testimony amply testifies to this twofold ability on the part of Hall's Wine. Twenty-nve years of careful medical research have fai'ed to and a more valuable prepara.- tion for the accomplishment of these results. That if why one should take home a bottle of Hatl's Wine, taken iDjmediately the chill or co}d started, have been the means of preven'ing prolonged iDnesp—innaenza, and the like-in thousands of capep.

Weatgate-street, Car- j diff. will be closed for 8ka.ting this evening. owing to Mr. Ltoyd George speaking there. The morning and afternoon sessions wi<[. however, be beid as usua, and the cafe will i be open. The splendid condition of the noor at the American has always made it a. prime favourite v.-ith Cardimang, and since I the reduced prices have been in operation the rink ha,s been comfortably filled at all three sessions. That the roller-skating craze sti!l holds the British public there is not the slightest doubt, and with the maximum of comiort and the minimum of those ills to which rinka are heirs to, it is no wonder that the Weatgate-street rink still holds the position it obtained in the early days of the sport. Keen interest was taken in last Satur- day's hock°y fixture, when Cardiff met Barry, and beat them by four clear goals. .toii Wednesday evening the management are providing a grand sports programme for their patrons, and on Friday the Cardiff Cricket Cruh are holding a Continental Carnival, for which handsome prizes are offered. Enjoyment at the Central I This t'tnk still draws crowds, the Sue con-) dition of the floor making it more enjoyable than ever for the skater. Although a fort- night must elapse, the keenest interest is bein? ev'nced in the grand masquerade car- nival 'hich ia to be held on December 14. The proncieacy of the frequenters of the rink makes it an ideal place for the spec- tator to while away an hour or two, and the pastime is so fascinating, and takes place under such pleasant conditions, that he who goes to see very often remains to skate. Each session finds the house well patronised. its size preventing that crowding which makes the sport unpleasant to participate in. Cheerful surroundings, a good band, and a management which is up-to-date are the things which make the Central one of the best in the district.
