The marquis starts la to give Trobiaher
a lecture, but . Instead . of ' finding him
placid, and receptive , receives in turn-a
lecture which drives him f rora the
bouse. Then approaches tha climax of
the play. ' Froblsher give orders to bis

Mr. Sutro as a Dramatist
There you have tha play Jn outline.
The crlspneaa and cleverness of the dia
logue. Us rude power and atrength In
pots ba not been even suggested how.
over. That climax of the third act,
melodrama or whatever you car to call
it' where Froblsher arraigns society
is tremendous. A man- who saw It in
London, wrote that when t came, "the
audience was still as death, held not
so much by th quiet vigor and force
of Bourchler (who acted Froblsher)
aa by .the daring truth of the words.
Tou can have no idea of what a London
audience would think a bit of awe In It
at such a cutting description of their
nobility." -
Strength and powerandanu evident
alncerity, all thla the play possesses.
Moreover It has Idea and. mentality
behind It.- If it does not grip sn Ameri
can audience In quite the same way as
It does an English one, that Is because
we have no illusions about tha nobil
ity and are In no way In awe of them.
Tet It carries even .us by the sheer
strength and power of its recital. -
When It comes to ths portrayal of
character, Mr. Sutro seems to; succeed
better with his women than with his
men. As a matter of fact there ars few
dramatists who draw men well. His
delineation of the light frothy Althea
wun tne undercurrent of real woman
hood always In the background was
very felicitous, while the portrait of the
Slater, Lucy, was excellent and fresh.
A word remains to be said about the
acting. Mies Mannering has pot ap
peared to such advantage In many sea
sons. Bhe was arch, delectable, woinan
ly, charming, and .he vitalised th char
acter. Mr. Hackett was not so ' sue
eea.ful a Froblah.r and aeemed to lack
authority and weight At time th
feeling waa of a negative rather than
a poaitive character such a Frobtaher
must have been. Hla work wa there
for satisfactory though not ' particu
larly distinguished. As for the com
pany, Mrs. Harriet Otis Dellenbaugh
played Lady Weaterby with charm and
Intelligence and MUs May Blayney wa.

The Bad - Bamarltan." Mr. Oeorra
than three weeks ago has already been
withdrawn, thus registering Mr. Ade's
first failure. On last Wednesday how
ever a new comedy by Mr. Ade entitled
"Just Out of College." was cre.ented
at the Lyceum theatre snd while It has
not met with the reception of "The Col-

of Mr. Adee new piece; it 1 a play

sometime conltncy.
