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
