"Brown of Harvard" Tonight.
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

In thla hero'a room, haa a quarrel be

"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

cultured one. Is also excellent aa to
that Cambridge accent.
"Brown or Harvard win piay at ine
silix tonight and tomorrow night. It
will appeal to a very large claas or
Portland theatre-goers as a comedy and
tha work of some of the members of
the company will please those wno on

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

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.

could hop to see, the gentleman of th
cloven hoof and the budding horns has
steadily grown in popular ravor until
now one finds everyone writing de
fenses of him and hla works.
Ha la a very eiltterlnx and resolend
ent devil this week. He haa a lot of
very comely and very aeductlva-looklng
chorus ladles with him and there is a
constant blase of electric spectacles
from beginning to end. 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.
