ParIk-NThe Heart Of Chicago..

1.-THE Heart of Chicago" another Of Lin
coin j, Carriers exciting melodramas,
opened at the Park yesterday for a half
weeks engagement. Whenever Mr.. Carter
takes his pen in hand to write play, thrill
ing. lines and intense situations are thrown
of like sparks from a black tnith's anvil,
while his brain seems fairly 70 TEEN with
stage-settings and scenic effects of the
most flaming character. But these things
crowd the playhouses and swell the box
office receipts so nobody but captious
critics will register objections against their
continuance. 1t is hard to tell just which
part of 1.-The Heart of Chicago causes the
most delight--the comic. the tragic, the sem
timental or the scenic. Perhaps it is the
skillful union of all four The cast is
rather above those usually employed to pro-
duce melodramas with elaborate scenic eff
tects. Barbara Douglas as Miss Alton
Ames. alias Coleman. pleases rather be-
cause of her beauty of face and form than
of any especial excellence in art Harry
English, as Robert Sage, the wronged mer-
chants son, has few lines, but into those
few he puts considerable force James A.
Devlin, as McFadden, made good Irish
alderman, while w. H. Evarts did equally
well in the role of Mcfarland, the faithful
gle. and Miss Vera Hamilton, as Molie,
contributed large share of the fun.
Evarts also played Bokee. a Bowery boy,
to advantage, being ably assisted by Frank
Weed as Swipes. Probably the most fin
ished impersonation was that given by Fred
Walton of Bradley, once confidential clerk
to the firm of Ames & Coleman. later be-
sotted tramp and blackmailer. Two scenes
are worthy of particular mention. One
closes the nrst act, portraying the Chicago
fire in very realistic manner, and the
other is the final scene of act four, repre-
senting the drawbridge and part of the
railroad tracks at Whiting, Ind. In the
play an attempt Is made to send the train
TO destruction, but this is foiled by the
heroine at the last moment changing the
signals from CLOSED" to Open" thus
causing the train to stop at the very en-
trance to the draw. THE Heart of Chi
cago" completes it's engagement with the
Wednesday night performance, and will be
replaced by "A Contented Woman" one of
Hoyts celebrated plays. the advance sale
