THE WASHINGTON HERALD TUESDAY OCTOBER 4 1910 I iII L I 4 THE COLUMBIA New York It Is with mixed and very probably tumultuous emotions that the average spectator will come away from the latest drama by William J Hurlbut whloh he has called New York Presented to a large audience at the Columbia Theater last night It certainly evoked applause and admiration but equally as certainly- It awoke expressions of disgust The of its comedy caused the un thinking to laugh the ribaldry of some of the lines was undoubtedly offensive to some the stark unconventionality of most of the situations made many gasp And yet with all this what a grip this play has Tonsely dramatic even border Ing on tragedy here are situations worthy of a Balza or a Victor Hugo and when you admit this you will come to see why It is that the author of this piece has not quito succeeded This is strong meat this drama but then Mr Hurlbut is so pitiably young He makes- It so evident that he has been bitten by the craze of the age socalled realism Meeting with a halfpopular success with- a realistic play Salvation Nell which owed all the esteem It gained to the genius of Its star he has evidently tried to go himself one better and to delve deeper into that underworld He has made a fairly welldone picture of certain phases of It ho has drawn characters and they are beautifully played but the trouble is not with the playing not with the construction but with the fundamentalsthe entire motive is wrong base Inartistic New York betrays a dramatist with a morbid imagination grafted on to a certain knowledge of what boys so love to call life with a capital L It is such a terrible mistake to think that this such plays as this are lift There are undoubtedly such people M Mr Hurl but causes to walk across the stage such frightful situations as he has conceived are by no means impossible not even Im- probable tho mistake Is that these things Bhoufti be dragged to the glare of the footlights To dwell gloatingly in the name of on the evil side of life is to distort life to picture it not wholly but biased on one side only and that the worst side Wh n we know that life is full of beauty and clean things high thoughts and noble des why should w theatergoers or raad r or viewers of paintings admirers of art in what- ever fnrm b asked to commend the ig noble the mean the vicious Is it for the tha svpooead moral Surely- it were wiser sans to prwich von with the theater for the pulpit from more healthy texts So iwioh by way of protest against the tendency of all such dramas as this of Ir Hurlbofs In regard to the pre- sentation of New York there can be nothing but pwis Scenically few plays haro been more fittingly staged realism here has said the last word even from tho solidity of the antique and beautiful furniture to the wollfllled bookcases As for the acting it oould not have been surpassed Hero Is a writable tri- umph for that strikingly clever actress Miss Laura Nelson Han Those who re- member her work in The Easiest Way will not need to be tokl of the geat promise she showed if only a larger op- portunity came her way It has come she has grasped it and there will never be any doubt hereafter as to the quality of here genius It is true that the exi- gencies of UM part of Nora Nelson re- quire her acting throughout to be pitched- to a high key but no matter how high I vul- garIty art las ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ the demands she reaches then Ingults them makes them her own and even in the most poignant scene the scene In which she describes her escape the man who would have ruined man she had to carried her audience with her daring and even shocking as the scene is A wonderful artist she is in very truth Almost as strong a part as that of MISS Halls is that of Mr Orrin Johnsons who is always a fine manly player but who has seldom if ever had a part that allowed him so fully to grasp the range of his possibilities It is not a light task for a modern man in tailored garments to express emotions so deep as to ap proximate those of classic tragedy but this player does it and does it with fine convincingness It was great acting Another great part is that played by Mary Shaw It ia the part of a woman of the underworld a second Mrs War- ren such as Bernard Shaw drew Utter ly vile and vicious as tho character is without one fair lino or redeeming trait Mary Shaw drew tho character to the life nothing extenuating Her drunken scone in the last act was so close to actuality as to be disgusting nauseating Prank Craven ns Chris McKnight did very well He was for a long time with the Columbia Stock Company and is well remembered hero He did some clever work And so too did Mortimer Wei den as Wendall though ho appeared only in the nrst act I shall not go Into the story of the is too sordid and wretched It is not an impossible story but it is a wretched one the same sort of a story that comes out in police records and except In the worst type of journals does not get into the columns of the newspapers It is a story of sin and shame and punishment but if it teaches a moral it is clumsily drawn for if the wretched mother sinned and wont from ain to tho gutter so too did the father sin equally yet by the grace of the dram- atist h is allowed to go from sin to reward Mr Hurlbut has written some finely strong lines and some very bad ones In the first act Orrin Johnson has a speech to his Illegitimate son a speech designed to warn him that life the only life the son knows not bound with cafes not habited with roues and evil women It Is a bit curious that Mr Hurlbut has not thought to apply the moral of that speech to his own play You the sewn that gathers rtapwat- wU TOwferfulty bowtUal in odor iridescent like peo k taU hut as rob a

little slow In gathering humorous force It Is so permeated with the personality of Gertrude Quinlan and winds up with such an irresistible burst of merriment as to come well within the bounds of healthy amusing entertain- ment The play is principally about Miss Patsy a companion to Helen Burrello the leading woman of a theatrical com- pany playing a summer stock engage ment at Annapolis Md the same Miss Patsy being a wholesouled and devoted little creature with a penchant for fix- ing all matters pertaining to the busi ness of her friends and that of Miss Burrelle particularly She invariably succeeds In mixing things however and hence Is the prime cause of most of the ludicrous things that happen and there is a constant succession of them in the play The dash of pathos Is added when she realizes that she has been wearing the cap and bells and she finally marries the best man In the story as a sort of recompense The ideas of the piece are very clever especially the bringing together of circumstances cal culated to create hilarious mirth and the weakness to lie in the dialogue which at times seems a trine strained- a fault which is easily remedied The life of the performance is un questionably Miss Quinlan In her delin- eation of Miss Patsy She is full of spontaneous humor which bubbles In cessantly has a emarkable personality- and the art of putting character into oven a farcical role She Is ably assisted by the whole company and notably by Wallace Worsley who gets lots of com- edy out of the part of Lieut Crawford a gay young naval man and Dorothy Tennant who appears as Helen Burrelle and is charming as usual by reason of her striking personality and attractive face There are numerous other good character sketches including Hardye KIrkJand as Admiral Getroy a testy old seadog Dan Mason as Beckman an eccentric Teuton connected with the theater Jennie La Mont as Mrs Lynch an irrepressible Irish wardrobe woman and Edna Conroy as Minna Black a sarcastic chorus lady while Ruth Chat terton ns Clara Gllroy lone Bright as Pansy Hoffman Maude Earle as Ada Pauline Winters as Ida Annie Buckley- as Cassandra Frank Dee as Jacoby Joseph Graybill as Dr Gentry and Robert Kelly as George Graham were all clever The play Is intended to be a rollicking farce and when it gets well under way amply fills the bill Thanks principally to Miss Quinlan no stagna- tion is allowed and if one desires to laugh away depression of spirits caused by anything either real or imaginary- a visit to this production is heartily recommended These wholesome come- dies however incongruous and however susceptible to technical criticism are In- finitely more attractive as a means of healthy diversion than the morbid prob- lematical or salacious THE NATIONAL The Echo Dancing dancing dancing classic and grotesque clog and eccentric Hawaiian and American single double and ohorus an epitome of The Echo which Bessie McCoy made use of to open the National last night Everyone dances from Miss McCoy to the humblest of the chorus chorus men are hum bleand they all dance well Of course MJss McCoy is the premier danseuse of the production and she well deserves tho position has been some time since the dainty Bessie has been seen in Washington but those who saw The Spring Chicken some three years ago will certainly re member Miss McCoy and her dancing only at that time she made a specialty of the toe work In which she falls to return In this piece It Is hard to class her dancesthey are all different and all beautifully graceful Indeed when one watches her Spanish fandango near the opening of the first act one can not but think of the lines of old Sir John SucklingHer little feet beneath her petticoat Like tiny mire stole in and out As if they feared the light Bat ob she dances such a way No tun upon en Eater day Is half so flue in eight In the course of the evenings entertain- ment Miss McCoy gives half a dozen dances In the first number aided by Johnny Scannell she allows him to at tract the greater part of the attention of the audience with his eccentric work but she comes into her own with her beauti- ful and weird Spanish fandango and ends the act with a grotesque hobble skirt dance In the second act she con tributes a pretty number near the open ing a Yoodle Doodle Guards selection slightly reminiscent of her nevertobe forgotten Yama Yama man and con- cludes a comic number with a bear In all of these Miss McCoy is graceful and In all of them she captivates the audience But the leading lady Is not the only one who trips the fantastic Johnny Scan nell whom we are told has just grad uated from college does a number of eccentric steps which while palpably imitations of a dancer seen at the same theater two weeks ago are every bit as well done as the original It Mr Scannell Is a sample of the product of the grad uates of New York University we should look forward with pleasure to next years graduation class John E Hazzard who will be remem- bered here for his work In The Girls of Gottenburg and The Prima Donna has the leading male role and although he does not do much dancing he has the song hit of the piece HeighHofu and also takes part in the only two really funny bits in the play the burlesque newspaper interview and the dictation to the stenographer Mrs Annie Yeamans who seems to be sixteen Instead of The local enthusiasts had an oppor- tunity to encore when Miss Delia Foster made her first appearance as Molly Brewster With her only song Its Never too Late to Learn a duet sung with Douglas Stevenson she made an immediate and lasting hit and her encores were numerous Miss Foster is possessed of a soprano voice of excellent range and clarity and her acting and charming per- sonality made one of the individual hits or the evening dt is to be hoped that she will get a part in the near future in whfdh she will have n better opportunity to show her talents Others In the large cast who added to the general enjoyment were Georgia Drew Mendum as the newspaper girl Ryan and White recent j workIs menand dan wth sev- en tysix Mine scorns It ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ graduates from vaudeville who with the Dolly sisters contributed the novel and difficult clog dances and Edgar Halstead as the echo The chorus is a large and well trained one and measures fully up to the standard set by the principals CHASES Polite Vaudeville There Is another one of those winning bills at Chases this week It is full or fun and highclass entertainment from beginning to end The classy feature of the bill Is Vllmos Westony a Hun garian piano virtuoso whose playing Is in every way equal to that heard at some of the firstclass concerts He has won- derful technique and power of expression His manner is flexible his tempo excel lent Opening with Bizerts concert fan- tasy Carmen he so far succumbed- to his vaudeville audience as to play sev- eral lighter selections but In response to repeated encores he concluded with a selection from Klchard Wagner that more than any other served to show his qual ity Music lovers of Washington will miss a treat If they do not hear this Hungarian pianist The laughable hit is mado by Mrs Gardner Crane Co in an entirely novel sketch The Little Sunbeam The scene Is laid In the Interior of a Pullman car and the sketch shows the passengers getting up just as tho train is pulling into Chicago There IB a cleverly told story bright dialogue and good acting The little play Is a roar of laughter from be ginning to end and Is worth the price of admission alone Tho bill opens with DeRenro and La due gymnasts who do a daring and exciting act Hal Merritt an old favorite- at Chases does somo comic drawing and some imitations that evoke laughter The Cooleys and Fays do a blackface tons and dance quito in the old manner that is full of snap and go and Rosina Cas sell presents a welltrained group of Chihuahua Mexican dogs The conclud- ing act on the bill Is the Namba Troupe of Japanese acrobat who perform some rather startling equlllbristlc feats Tho bill is a wellbalanced one as theta is not a dull or uninteresting act on it THE ACADEMY- A Ministers Sweetheart After an absence of several weeks melodrama of the good oldfashioned variety once more holds the Academy stage and the welcome accorded the cur rent offering A Ministers Sweetheart would seem to indicate that the patrons of the house have lost none of their relish for dramatic excitement- In the present instance Robert Wayne has tempered tho action of play with- a rural New England setting and none of tho familiar characters so dear to the heart of the dramatist is absent There is Dora Stanton the beautiful village schoolteacher Apparently she is also blessed with a remarkable dis- position for merely to please the play- wright she refuses to disclose her per- fectly proper and thereby stirs up a full share of trouble There Is Victor Orme the brave young minister who do tends the sorely tried heroine before all the parish Not content with his Sunday efforts he carries appropriate sermons up his sleeve for daily use and produces them with the ease of a magician Likewise w have Doras innocent brother accused of crime by a scheming lawyer and tho woman with the ser- pents tongue who aids the lawyer In plotting Doras downfall Of course with out success for after three and three quarter acts of obliging silence the schoolmarm speaks unfolds the story life and claims both a husband and a father It is an old theme but appar- ently one that yet retains its power please Grace Valentine as Dora looked the part and won the sympathy of the audi- ence She deserves credit for lien bravo struggle with a hopeless role Edith Gray made a hit with her specialty In the schoolroom scone May Gerald appears as the adventuress and appears in some striking gowns Houston Richards does well In tho part of Dick a fugitive from justice and Harry Hughes contributes- an effective character bit Louis Hart man as Judge Loster might tone down his voice to tho advantage of his Imper- sonation The play is adequately staged the last scene showing an apple orchard- in bloom CASINO THEATER Vaudeville The bill at the Casino Theater this week contains several Interesting vaude- ville acts not the least of which might be mentioned Huddlestons Animal Cir- cus consisting of twenty dogs and mon- keys The best of the human artists was Mile Annette de Lestare who sang sev- eral songs illustrated by artistic tab leaux small scenes appropriate to the song set behind a representation of picture frame Mile do Lestare seen in change of costume for each Others who contributed to the en- joyment of large audiences yesterday were Samuel Howard Co In a comedy sketch entitled A Woman Hater who was made to change his viewpoint by the wiles or a charming woman Murray and Hunt comedians who sang played the piano and in general

presented a singing and talking sketch from Incidents taken from the second act of The Traveling Salesman The mo tton picture plays were unusually inter esting and materially rounded out an ex- cellent entertainment THE COSMOS The Torleys the advertised added at traction of the Cosmos show proved to be a real headlIne act Theirs Is a cy cling act which introduces several teats never before

THE COLUMBIA
New YorkIt Is with mixed and very probably
tumultuous emotions that the averagespectator will come away from the latestdrama by William J Hurlbut whloh hehas called New York Presented to alarge audience at the Columbia Theaterlast night It certainly evoked applauseand admiration but equally as certainly-
It awoke expressions of disgust Theof its comedy caused the un
thinking to laugh the ribaldry of someof the lines was undoubtedly offensiveto some the stark unconventionality ofmost of the situations made many gasp
And yet with all this what a grip thisplay has Tonsely dramatic even borderIng on tragedy here are situationsworthy of a Balza or a Victor Hugoand when you admit this you will cometo see why It is that the author of thispiece has not quito succeeded This isstrong meat this drama but then MrHurlbut is so pitiably young He makes-It so evident that he has been bitten bythe craze of the age socalled realismMeeting with a halfpopular success with-a realistic play Salvation Nell whichowed all the esteem It gained to thegenius of Its star he has evidently triedto go himself one better and to delvedeeper into that underworld He hasmade a fairly welldone picture of certainphases of It ho has drawn charactersand they are beautifully played butthe trouble is not with the playing notwith the construction but with thefundamentalsthe entire motive is wrongbase Inartistic
New York betrays a dramatist witha morbid imagination grafted on to acertain knowledge of what boys so loveto call life with a capital L It issuch a terrible mistake to think that this
such plays as this are lift There areundoubtedly such people M Mr Hurlbut causes to walk across the stage suchfrightful situations as he has conceivedare by no means impossible not even Im-
probable tho mistake Is that these thingsBhoufti be dragged to the glare of thefootlights To dwell gloatingly in thename of on the evil side of life isto distort life to picture it not whollybut biased on one side only and thatthe worst side Wh n we know that lifeis full of beauty and clean things highthoughts and noble des why shouldw theatergoers or raad r or viewersof paintings admirers of art in what-ever fnrm b asked to commend the ignoble the mean the vicious Is it forthe tha svpooead moral Surely-it were wiser sans to prwich von withthe theater for the pulpit from morehealthy texts
So iwioh by way of protest against thetendency of all such dramas as this ofIr Hurlbofs In regard to the pre-
sentation of New York there can benothing but pwis Scenically fewplays haro been more fittingly stagedrealism here has said the last wordeven from tho solidity of the antique andbeautiful furniture to the wollfllledbookcases
As for the acting it oould not havebeen surpassed Hero Is a writable tri-umph for that strikingly clever actressMiss Laura Nelson Han Those who re-member her work in The Easiest Waywill not need to be tokl of the geatpromise she showed if only a larger op-portunity came her way It has comeshe has grasped it and there will neverbe any doubt hereafter as to the qualityof here genius It is true that the exi-gencies of UM part of Nora Nelson re-quire her acting throughout to be pitched-to a high key but no matter how high

the demands she reaches then Ingultsthem makes them her own and even inthe most poignant scene the scene Inwhich she describes her escape theman who would have ruinedman she had to carried heraudience with her daring and evenshocking as the scene is A wonderfulartist she is in very truth
Almost as strong a part as that of MISS
Halls is that of Mr Orrin Johnsonswho is always a fine manly player butwho has seldom if ever had a part thatallowed him so fully to grasp the rangeof his possibilities It is not a light taskfor a modern man in tailored garmentsto express emotions so deep as to approximate those of classic tragedy butthis player does it and does it with fineconvincingness It was great acting
Another great part is that played byMary Shaw It ia the part of a womanof the underworld a second Mrs War-ren such as Bernard Shaw drew Utterly vile and vicious as tho character iswithout one fair lino or redeeming traitMary Shaw drew tho character to thelife nothing extenuating Her drunkenscone in the last act was so close toactuality as to be disgusting nauseatingPrank Craven ns Chris McKnight didvery well He was for a long time withthe Columbia Stock Company and is wellremembered hero He did some cleverwork And so too did Mortimer Weiden as Wendall though ho appeared onlyin the nrst act
I shall not go Into the story of theis too sordid and wretched It
is not an impossible story but it is awretched one the same sort of a storythat comes out in police records andexcept In the worst type of journalsdoes not get into the columns of thenewspapers It is a story of sin andshame and punishment but if it teachesa moral it is clumsily drawn for if thewretched mother sinned and wont fromain to tho gutter so too did the fathersin equally yet by the grace of the dram-
atist h is allowed to go from sin toreward Mr Hurlbut has written somefinely strong lines and some very badones In the first act Orrin Johnsonhas a speech to his Illegitimate son aspeech designed to warn him that lifethe only life the son knows notbound with cafes not habited with rouesand evil women It Is a bit curious thatMr Hurlbut has not thought to applythe moral of that speech to his own play

THE BELASCO
PatsyWhile the farce ixllss Patsy by
Sewell Collins may not be technicallyperfect and a little slow In gatheringhumorous force It Is so permeated withthe personality of Gertrude Quinlan andwinds up with such an irresistible burstof merriment as to come well within thebounds of healthy amusing entertain-ment
The play is principally about MissPatsy a companion to Helen Burrellothe leading woman of a theatrical com-pany playing a summer stock engagement at Annapolis Md the same MissPatsy being a wholesouled and devotedlittle creature with a penchant for fix-
ing all matters pertaining to the business of her friends and that of MissBurrelle particularly She invariablysucceeds In mixing things howeverand hence Is the prime cause of most ofthe ludicrous things that happen andthere is a constant succession of them inthe play The dash of pathos Is addedwhen she realizes that she has beenwearing the cap and bells and shefinally marries the best man In the storyas a sort of recompense The ideas of thepiece are very clever especially thebringing together of circumstances calculated to create hilarious mirth and theweakness to lie in the dialoguewhich at times seems a trine strained-a fault which is easily remedied
The life of the performance is unquestionably Miss Quinlan In her delin-eation of Miss Patsy She is full ofspontaneous humor which bubbles Incessantly has a emarkable personality-and the art of putting character intooven a farcical role She Is ably assistedby the whole company and notably byWallace Worsley who gets lots of com-edy out of the part of Lieut Crawforda gay young naval man and DorothyTennant who appears as Helen Burrelleand is charming as usual by reason ofher striking personality and attractiveface There are numerous other goodcharacter sketches including HardyeKIrkJand as Admiral Getroy a testy oldseadog Dan Mason as Beckman aneccentric Teuton connected with thetheater Jennie La Mont as Mrs Lynchan irrepressible Irish wardrobe womanand Edna Conroy as Minna Black asarcastic chorus lady while Ruth Chatterton ns Clara Gllroy lone Bright asPansy Hoffman Maude Earle as AdaPauline Winters as Ida Annie Buckley-as Cassandra Frank Dee as JacobyJoseph Graybill as Dr Gentry andRobert Kelly as George Graham wereall clever The play Is intended to be arollicking farce and when it gets wellunder way amply fills the bill Thanksprincipally to Miss Quinlan no stagna-tion is allowed and if one desires tolaugh away depression of spirits causedby anything either real or imaginary-a visit to this production is heartilyrecommended These wholesome come-dies however incongruous and howeversusceptible to technical criticism are In-
finitely more attractive as a means ofhealthy diversion than the morbid prob-lematical or salacious
THE NATIONAL
The EchoDancing dancing dancing classic and
grotesque clog and eccentric Hawaiianand American single double and ohorus
an epitome of The Echowhich Bessie McCoy made use of to openthe National last night Everyone dancesfrom Miss McCoy to the humblest of thechorus chorus men are humbleand they all dance well Of courseMJss McCoy is the premier danseuse ofthe production and she well deserves thoposition
has been some time since the daintyBessie has been seen in Washington butthose who saw The Spring Chickensome three years ago will certainly remember Miss McCoy and her dancingonly at that time she made a specialtyof the toe work In which she falls toreturn In this piece It Is hard to classher dancesthey are all different and allbeautifully graceful Indeed when onewatches her Spanish fandangonear the opening of the first act one cannot but think of the lines of old Sir JohnSucklingHer
little feet beneath her petticoatLike tiny mire stole in and out
As if they feared the lightBat ob she dances such a wayNo tun upon en Eater day
Is half so flue in eightIn the course of the evenings entertain-
ment Miss McCoy gives half a dozendances In the first number aided byJohnny Scannell she allows him to attract the greater part of the attention ofthe audience with his eccentric work butshe comes into her own with her beauti-ful and weird Spanish fandango andends the act with a grotesque hobbleskirt dance In the second act she contributes a pretty number near the opening a Yoodle Doodle Guards selectionslightly reminiscent of her nevertobe
forgotten Yama Yama man and con-cludes a comic number with a bearIn all of these Miss McCoy is gracefuland In all of them she captivates theaudience
But the leading lady Is not the only onewho trips the fantastic Johnny Scannell whom we are told has just graduated from college does a number ofeccentric steps which while palpablyimitations of a dancer seen at the sametheater two weeks ago are every bit aswell done as the original It Mr ScannellIs a sample of the product of the graduates of New York University we shouldlook forward with pleasure to next yearsgraduation class
John E Hazzard who will be remem-bered here for his work In The Girls ofGottenburg and The Prima Donnahas the leading male role and althoughhe does not do much dancing he has thesong hit of the piece HeighHofu andalso takes part in the only two reallyfunny bits in the play the burlesquenewspaper interview and the dictation tothe stenographer Mrs Annie Yeamanswho seems to be sixteen Instead of
The local enthusiasts had an oppor-tunity to encore when Miss Delia Fostermade her first appearance as MollyBrewster With her only song ItsNever too Late to Learn a duet sungwith Douglas Stevenson she made animmediate and lasting hit and her encoreswere numerous Miss Foster is possessedof a soprano voice of excellent range andclarity and her acting and charming per-sonality made one of the individual hits orthe evening dt is to be hoped that shewill get a part in the near future inwhfdh she will have n better opportunityto show her talents Others In the largecast who added to the general enjoymentwere Georgia Drew Mendum as thenewspaper girl Ryan and White recent

CHASES
Polite VaudevilleThere Is another one of those winning
bills at Chases this week It is full orfun and highclass entertainment frombeginning to end The classy featureof the bill Is Vllmos Westony a Hungarian piano virtuoso whose playing Isin every way equal to that heard at someof the firstclass concerts He has won-derful technique and power of expressionHis manner is flexible his tempo excellent Opening with Bizerts concert fan-tasy Carmen he so far succumbed-to his vaudeville audience as to play sev-
eral lighter selections but In response torepeated encores he concluded with aselection from Klchard Wagner that morethan any other served to show his quality Music lovers of Washington willmiss a treat If they do not hear thisHungarian pianist
The laughable hit is mado by MrsGardner Crane Co in an entirelynovel sketch The Little Sunbeam Thescene Is laid In the Interior of a Pullmancar and the sketch shows the passengersgetting up just as tho train is pulling intoChicago There IB a cleverly told storybright dialogue and good acting Thelittle play Is a roar of laughter from beginning to end and Is worth the price ofadmission alone
Tho bill opens with DeRenro and Ladue gymnasts who do a daring andexciting act Hal Merritt an old favorite-at Chases does somo comic drawing andsome imitations that evoke laughter TheCooleys and Fays do a blackface tonsand dance quito in the old manner thatis full of snap and go and Rosina Cassell presents a welltrained group ofChihuahua Mexican dogs The conclud-ing act on the bill Is the Namba Troupeof Japanese acrobat who perform somerather startling equlllbristlc feats Thobill is a wellbalanced one as theta is nota dull or uninteresting act on it
THE ACADEMY-
A Ministers SweetheartAfter an absence of several weeks
melodrama of the good oldfashionedvariety once more holds the Academystage and the welcome accorded the current offering A Ministers Sweetheartwould seem to indicate that the patronsof the house have lost none of their relishfor dramatic excitement-
In the present instance Robert Waynehas tempered tho action of play with-a rural New England setting and noneof tho familiar characters so dear to theheart of the dramatist is absent
There is Dora Stanton the beautifulvillage schoolteacher Apparently sheis also blessed with a remarkable dis-
position for merely to please the play-wright she refuses to disclose her per-fectly proper and thereby stirs upa full share of trouble There Is VictorOrme the brave young minister who dotends the sorely tried heroine before allthe parish Not content with his Sundayefforts he carries appropriate sermonsup his sleeve for daily use and producesthem with the ease of a magician
Likewise w have Doras innocentbrother accused of crime by a scheminglawyer and tho woman with the ser-pents tongue who aids the lawyer Inplotting Doras downfall Of course without success for after three and threequarter acts of obliging silence theschoolmarm speaks unfolds the story
life and claims both a husband anda father It is an old theme but appar-ently one that yet retains its powerplease
Grace Valentine as Dora looked thepart and won the sympathy of the audi-ence She deserves credit for lien bravostruggle with a hopeless role Edith Graymade a hit with her specialty In theschoolroom scone May Gerald appearsas the adventuress and appears in somestriking gowns Houston Richards doeswell In tho part of Dick a fugitive fromjustice and Harry Hughes contributes-an effective character bit Louis Hartman as Judge Loster might tone downhis voice to tho advantage of his Imper-sonation The play is adequately stagedthe last scene showing an apple orchard-in bloom
