Perhaps this was the schooling I received in old Daly's Theatre,' said Sheldon Lewis, who is a featured member of the cast in 'The Hidden Hand,' the Pathe serial which will be shown at the Victoria Theatre on Thursday, in which Miss Doris Kenyon is being starred. The old Daly was as much a dramatic school as it was a theatre. Mr. Lewis has the reputation of having played more parts on the legitimate stage than any other actor in America. These parts number above five hundred. In the halcyon days of stock in New York City, Mr. Lewis was a favourite. He supported Ada Rehan at Daly's theatre in Shakespeare's comedies such as 'The Taming of the Shrew' and 'As You Like it' and in Sheridan's 'School of Scandal.' After Mr. Daly's death, he went on tour with Ada Rehan and played leads opposite that famous actress. Mr. Lewis was a member of the company of the first endowed play-house in America. His first screen work was in a Pathe production and he says it feels like home to work under the Pathe again.
