Bold Bllll Man atul Co·tJle of Villains on This Week's Bill Lew Welsh as an invalid, Henery Smith, did one of the best jobs of character acting of his career with the Evanston Players . when that excellent stock company presented . '·The Bad Man" Monday, this week's bill at the New Evanston. Karl Way, the company's director, was right up at the top with his interpretation of the Mexican bandit, Pancho Lopez, the bad man of titular mention. Richard Ward as Morgan Pell and George Pembroke as Jasper Hardy, villains both, played their parts well. U!ually the outstanding figure of the weekly production, Charles George. the company's leading man, was off his u.;ual form Monday and did the character of the defrauded ranch owner, Gilbert Jones, with far too much staginess and declamation. The leading woman, Margaret Fuller, was more than passable as Lucia Pell, wife to Morgan. As a character actress, Ann Dere seems to be better and better each week. In the role of the sloppy M exican cook, Alverada, Miss Dere again shows up with distinction in the current production. It's a good show with a busy-body u!lcle ; ~ bold bad bandit, who recog~ mzes Gdbert Jones as a friend just as he is about to kill about the whole cast! a little shooting; a little love makmg ; a good deal of comedy and some rather tense dramatic moments.
