DAVID LA ROGUE"
Robert Downing Presents George $.
Johns New Drama.

Robert Downing Presents George :.
Johns New Drama.
A large audience sat patiently through
three swelsering hours of serious emotional
drama at the Ac ademy last night, and it
was u telling compliment to Mr.. Johns, the
author OF David La Rogue which re-
ceived its first production, and TO Robert
Downing, who played the title role. There
they sat, interested nearly all the time,
really absorbed for moments, and gener-
Gus in applause when the curtain fell on
the act ends.
David La Rogue is four-act emo
tionai play, mads fro m novel OF George
Ohnct. In novel form tits modern, in the
play 1T hesitates about affiliating itself
with any period. Some of the time the
ladies Wear empire gowns, some of the
time dresses from up-to-date fashion plates
Some CT the men wear directorate suits.
aud u comic French colonel wore an
American uniform of the colonial period
There was no denotement IN the scenery Or
the properties Of any period or nationality
David Is a play OF hum an breadth, how
ever, and does not fret under geograp phic
or chronological limitations.
1t is the story of an innocent father
who finds his wife unfaithful to him For
the love of his child he does not banisiI
her, and for the same motive and because
her eyes are opened TO her husband $
devotion, she abandons her paramour
The husband asks her TO live with him
only until their child is married. 1t is
discovered that the wife's lover is clan
destineiy winning his way into Che af-
fections of the innocent child. This is
too much for the father. He encounters
the villain on bridge and hurls hisn in to
the abyss. The reconciliation with his wife
is detail Mr. Johns has welded this
simple story together with fine appre
citation OF human emotion. His scenes are
very dramatic, and some very talby, but
they are all full OF the analysis of the
| consuming problem between the nus
band and the wife.
| The first act is the best OF the four
| In this there is an introduction of harm
less talk while the audience Is being seated,
and then husband and wife confront each
other in o scene which is intensely ro-
mantle and absorbing. tt strong enough
| to end the act. The introduction OF the
! srnpering girl, for whom the audience had
