Tonight and . tomorrow night at the Helllg theatre, Fourteenth and Wash ington streets, the attraction will be the clever young star. Henry Woodruff. and his excellent supporting company In tne college piay Brown or Harvard. Seats are aelllng at theatre box office, tn tneatra. By J. F. S. "Our Kindergarten melodrama,'' was th way Henry Woodruff smilingly re ferred to the. efforts of Rlda Johnson Toung entitled "Brown of Harvard' last night. Mr. Woodruff waa making a very neat little curtain speech and actora are never responsible for what they say in curtain speeches. But it waa evident that he appreciated tne shortcomings of his college play. "Brown or Harvard len t exactly a kindergarten melodrama that's being a little too extreme. Mr. Woodruff la a Harvard man himself and la therefore apt to see the thlnx.as the extreme end of the syllogism. But to the ordinary mortal it isn't quite aa bad an that. It'a melodrama with a girl's finishing school education and with all the aston lahing faith in the goodnesa of some men and the wickedness of aome others that the first year out In tha bold, bad world la apt to give an impressionable young taoy. l nose wno aren t rrom narvara can go and aee the play and probaoiy enjoy it with an amused tolerance, aa it isn t their own school that la being held up to the acandalised eyes or the rest or the world. But to have Imbibed the traditions and the ethica of four years in Cambridge and then to see '3rown of Harvard! ' Shades of the aacred cod fish! It len t surprising that the ahower of oranrea, bananas, grapefruit and lemona with which the Initial per formance of the play waa greeted in Boston excelled all prevloua errorts in that line. Mrs. Toons? has written tne stereo- tvned collexe play that most women get off at aome time In their careers. She displayed a woeful but not unusual lack of appreciation of what a man's college stands ror in tne way oi tair piay ana honor. Sh waa bold and original be nauaa aha dared to annex the name Harvard to what otherwise might have been any old school. Tha dramatist snent all of on week being piloted In and about the sights of Cambridge and Harvard. She took six daya to do what the ordinary mortal does in an afternoon. She discovered that Harvard has some funny old brick hulliltnas. that there la a "social atmos- kv,a .. th.t v. 1 trVi 1 v linlmia feattir an "oid clothoa man" most badly dono by the way ; that some men are In sohool for fun and some are there aa grinds; that Harvard haa a healthy ln- terest in rowing and a boathouse on the Charles river. With that aa her stock In trade she waded boldly In where angels would fear to tread, haa a rather foolish hero who la made very human and Interest ing by Mr. Woodruff, locks a girl up In thla hero'a room, haa a quarrel be tween the hero and the poor but cul tured wo auppoae that cultured waa a op to the disgruntled Harvard element young woman with whom he la In love. The cultured younc woman'a brother la responsible for the plot he of reea to aell out hla crew for (he aake the money he needs to pay hla debts. Taxe tnia and aeason it iiDeraiiy wnn "cuss" words, thrown in here and there and everywhere aa though to complete the attempt at "atmosphere" which was relied upon to Justify Mrs. Young's week spent In Cambridge, and you have the Hellig'a play. And yet that's not quite fair, either. Mr. Woodruff la very delightful and he has some good people In nis company. His work won over the audience last nleht after the second act and at the third the curtain calla were eo many and ao frequently repeated that he spoke his thanka to the houae. He has a most engaging personality, a certain wlnsnmeneaa of features and Of Voice that no one wants to resist, and he did his best to make Tom Brown a natural and lovable fellow. Eugene O'Brien, too, wno piayeo wax- ton Maddern, was very pleasing. Me wears a. negligee snirt wun tne gay ana carefree air of the true college man and hla work throughout waa much better than acting It waa life. The other members of the 'varalty crew and tha student body were up to standard, and some of them were able to give an aafitiw raoA imitation of true Harvard anobblshneas. Of the women Miss Helena Byrne Is to be most distinctly congratulated on her accent ahe says really as tnougn sne naa learnea u i the Oilman school one of the best bits of local color in the piece, uiancna Weaver aa Mra. Kenyon, the poor but cultured one. Is also excellent aa to that Cambridge accent. "Brown or Harvard win piay at ine silix tonight and tomorrow night.

This great play from the pen of George Broadnurst, author of "The Man of Mhe Hour," which created such a sensation all last week In this city, bids fair to be received as the greatest play ever produced In stock In this city.

H cemed, In the latter piece than In Its more famoua predecessor. The work manship perhapa Is not so good, but the main human interest is far deeper, and if anyone In "The Man of the Hour" company had shown anything like aa good acting as that of Auatln Webb's yesterday It would have ben a matter for congratulation. i - ' Court room scenes ar. dangerous, or they would be -rare It not for th fact that nine out of ten people who com pose the audiencea have but the re motest and haxlest conceptions of what the procedure and arrangement of a court la like The converted throne under a dais which served aa the bench In the court room acene was a bad piece of stage setting. James Gleason'a imperson ation of a lawyer wasn't very good, and there were aome other anachronisms. The scene, begun none too good, ended worse with an address to the court by Mr. Webb, who was playing James Clark, the confessed embezzler. When he be gan to spealv the orchestra struck up Traumerle, but of course that wasn't hla fault But the easy grae with which ha recited the story of his crime. told how he had robbed hla employer to send his dying sister to the mountains was bad art. He made up for It all however In th third act He took himself out of the lethargy lethargy is a trifle sever but it almost amounts to that which characterises much of his work, and throughout the entire scene with Mr. Homans. who waa playing Payton, was most excellent Through the earlier part or tne encounrer wun payton ne displayed an understanding of what was expected of his part that was most ex cellent, and as it grew in dramatlo qualities the unusual reserve force which the leading man has at his com mand came in with splendid effect. It was an unusually fine piece of work. As much cannot b said of Mr. Ho mans' Payton hla acting was uncon vincing throuprh much of the scene. Miss Barney was excellent as Cather ine Gordon, the sister of the weak Roy (iprdon, played by Howard Russell. Al though her part la not an especially nromlnent one. "The Mills of the Gods." like "The M-n of the Hour" being es sentially a men's play, yet what she did. he did well. Miss Seymour was rood n the stenographer with an astonishing vocabulary of slang, and Mr. Dills gave a remarkably finished little piece of comedy work in the part of San Fure ush. the man who studied how to be a detective by mart. The play at the Baker Is well worth aeeing this week. The members of the company all display a painstaking care in their work that Is sometimes absent, and as a result there is not a break in the lines and nothing to mar the con tinuity of the performance. A good deal of praise Is due someone, probably Mr. Dills, as stage manager. But th other members of the company should also come In for their full share. Marquam "Devil's Auction." That delight of iiorrlfied childhood, "The Everlasting Devil's Auction," re turned to the Marquam Orand last night for a week's engagement and promises to be Just as enticing as ever.

The ballets ar aa e-ood as ever. nerhaDS a little bit bet. ter. while there is any number of choruses, dances, pretty aongs and far deal stunts. The cast la a large one and the principals hold up their own very well. For those who enjoy a con stant whirl of Stage pictures and danc Inr girls nothing better than "The Devil a Auction" could be imagined. "Desperate Chance" at Empire. "A Desperate Chance," which IS a sort of glorified carnival of murder, assault and robbery is being given at the Em pire, and recounting as it does the story of how two convicts escaped from a penitentiary and created a little excite ment for the community. It will no doubt please mlghMly. It was thrown tosrether hurriedly by the author, Theo. dore Kremer, so as to secure all tha benefit of the notoriety given the Bid dle affair and has outlived the fondest expectations of its creator. The com pany presenting the melodrama seems to work very diligently and won ap plause in both Ha tragic and comic endeavors. "Kidnaped" at the Star. A very satisfactory sort of melo drama. "Kidnaped," was given by the French Stock company at the Star last week and seemed to please those who saw It. The French company Is com posed of very hard-working people, who get out all there Is In a melodrama, and '"Kidnaped" comparea very well with their other offerings. A good oppor tunity is given the individual members of the company to shine in their favor ite roles of very good heroines . and very bad villains. Kidnaping ia an in teresting sport when followed as an avocation, not a vocation, and it Isn't probable the man who did all the work yesterdav Intends taking it up as a life work. Frank Seaward plays the part of Nosey, a good-hearted thief, Charles Conners plays a German comedy rart, Mr. Daglenn does the kidnaping, while Kathleen Taylor is the kidnaped one. The scenic effects this week are said to be especially good. Building Permits Peter H.
