be thankful enough that did SO. put
in the entire afternoon studying the con-
struction of play that has been thrill
ing the Bowery for long time.
In this play a maid with feather
buster is seen at the beginning of the
first act busting the parlor and trying to
think Of her piece. This is well done
and dramatically accurate. The plot
now proceeds to unfold itself. In the
second act villain appears with pink
whiskers made for smaller man. He
moves about the stage to melancholy
music.
The piece all the way through is SO
dramatically accurate that could go
out for an hour and know exactly where
they would be when came back. But
I went there mostly to see Eva Hamil-
ton. I wanted to see how she would
succeed as an actress. I thought if she
acquitted herself nicely could write q
play for her next year. But she did not
do very well. She wore yachting clothes
and scared look, but her voice was as
devoid Of emotion as that of John L.
Sullivan, and her statements were as de-
void Of sympathetic effect as those made
by the man who calls trains in the Union
depot at Chicago.
Go home, little Eva. Go back to your
old life, whatever it may be. Do not at
tempt to be emotional when an east side
audience frightens you and your lines
light out like scared jack rabbit at the
early dawn. It is high time you called
halt. GO not to the quiet grave of
that deluded man whose name you are
pasting on the deadwalls in order to get
new clothes and bait the OLD deadfall for
new victims. am glad the press united
on this wretched woman, this evil angel
Of soft hearted man whose life was
ruined by her.
Such women also hurt the stage. They
bring the blush of shame to the face OF
the profession and do much to discour-
age q young dramatist like myself from
writing the great American play. Let
us change the subject.
