A busy update from New York theatres highlights Henry Miller’s evolving art scene, Miss Marlowe’s ongoing public scrutiny, and Emma Janvier joining the Wester company. Major players include James ONeill era and Laughlin operas with new works by Rex Beach and Schubert premieres. The season features touring talent, European legs, and notable revivals at Belasco, Stuyvesant, and National venues.
Columbia Theater opens with James O'Neill in Virginius Monte Cristo and Julius Caesar alongside a prominent company. The program recalls Macready and Forrest era prestige, notes O'Neill's long Monte Cristo run and his famed disguises, and references Beulah Poynter's Lena Rivers dramatization and Belasco Band at the Ellery Band fundraiser.
A notable concert bill arrives for the night at the academy with talent secured through a Baltimore agency. The novelty includes the Three Wilsons and Ed Allen with new songs and parodies. Shepard's Moving Pictures will screen new comedy and dramatic features.
The column surveys a dense slate of New York stage offerings including O'Neill's Antony interpretation, Shakespearean fare at the Columbia with Virginius and Julius Caesar, Mrs Ponderbury's Past as adapted by Carle, Mary’s Lamb with Jeannette Lowrie, and a chorus of noted performers. It previews Chase's Ellis Island burlesques, Gaiety Girls at the Gayety, and a major two act musical Married by Telephone with Healey White and Warren, plus piano maestro Josef Hofmann and violinist Fritz Kreisler at the Columbia.
New York April 17 Franklin Fyles reviews E H Sothern in a dense stage adaptation of Don Quixote. The production stacks effects from the pump scene to a haunting death on stage, with Sothern portraying a cultured gentleman Quixote through mist, light, and whispered finales. The piece notes the distancing of windmill exploits and the risky, reverent finish where Sancho and Quixote drift from stage life into memory.
