George Arllss Is an event of importance in the entertainment world, and each characterization is so flaw less that it seems at the moment to blithe best he has given. His Alexander Hamilton-is in marked contract to his other roles, for screen audiences have grown used to him as middle-aged or very old men. 'In "Alexander Hamilton," which comes. to the Elsinore to day, he is barely past his thirties, a man vigorous and as passionate ly eager for individual adventure as he always was for the common rights of. humanity. . It Js with Hamilton, the man that- the. play deals, rather than with Hamilton the financial gen ius -who established the credit of the young republic, rrote its Con stitution and became its first Se cretary or the Treasury.' Great questions like the assumption of the Revolutionary War debt, the establishment of credit and the choice of a site for the National Capitol were occupying the mind of Hamilton, . At i this moment, Reynolds, a malcontent bent on the ruin of the great -statesman, sent to him hisrnptorious wife with a plea for money, that she might return to her father, thus escaping the sup posed cruelty of the crafty Mr. Reynolds. Claims made by Reynolds that Hamilton has made use of public moneys to help the woman, bring Jefferson,. Monroe and other. not ables of tbe day to accuse him. His disposal of the false charge of dishonesty and his confession of 'personal surrender to the charms of the alluring Mrs. Rey nolds: makes one of many intense ly dramatic scenes. Scenes are laid in and about Philadelphia, Washington and the first First; Lady , of the Land Chief Justice John Jay Jeffer son Monroe r - Count Tallyrand and other famous characters are Lseen In the ruffles, laces, powder- ed wig3 and silver buckles Of the day, and half a thousand -people-take part in the picturesque se quences as soldiers and citizenry. One scene of memorable beanty is Washington's farewell to his troops. Those who support Mr are Doris Kenyoh, Dul Alan Mawbray, Rol June Collyer. Charle Montague Love, Liohel Belmore, Morgan Wallace, CWendolin Lo gan, John T. Murray, Evans, John Larkin, Russell Simpson and kin. John Adolf i's notable. !
