enterprise, in which noise masqueraded
as ability. she was accordingly put on
half salary and little later dismissed.
Arthur Cover in the meantime has
also disappeared, and it transpires that
he has become member OF the pro-
fesson so that he may be able to re-
gain Roses affection. Tom Wrench,
the general utility man of the wells
company, has comedy which he has
unsuccessfully tried for years to have
presented, and by a very cleverly con-
ceived device the vice chancellor is in
duced to supply the necessarily capital
for the exploitation of the untried play.
In the fourth act everything is of
course Strengthened out satisfactorily
in perhaps rather a conventional but
none the less pleasing manner.
1t is almost needless TO speak of the

decade some men and women whose

the country it is doubtful if there was
ever an organization controlled by Mr.
Daniel Frohman more evenly balanced
or more competent to exploit the par
ticular class of plays in which his
clientele seems to delight than the
present one. The cast of "Trelawny

MORGANTOWN NOTES.

Morgantown, w. Va, December TO-
The law class of the University held
their annual election this morning.
Col. James Frazer, of Martinsburg, waa
elected president; Robert White, vice
president; Ed. Anderson, of Latrobe,
secretary, and Richard Welch, treas
urer. Mrs. James c. Frazer was
chosen as one OF the prosecuting at
torneys of the mock court The cleo
ton, as usual, was holly contested, a.Nl
the honors are considered as amt
the greatest of the school year.
The society people of the town SO
a very enjoyable dance last night
the Wallace House In honor of MiN
Husband, of Scottdale, Miss Harper, OF
Pittsburg, and Miss Knight of Rich
mond, Va. A very large crowd was ii
attendance and the affair was an elaD-
crate one.
Trouble is brewing at the University
between the president and the students
over the matter of dancing. For sew
eral years IL has been the custom to
give dances in the gymnasium every
Friday night. Since DR.. Raymond
came here he has opposed the move.
and the students have been forced to

members of the faculty and tbair
wives, who have been psomlnept ar
the affairs, have been given a u'ss~s,s;.s-T-
that they do so at the risk OF receiving
the displeasure Of the president, and
they have ceased attending them.
The military ball, which has been
given each year for several years, will
have to be held down town II at all.
as the president will not allow the use
of room at the University. The bal
will be held, however, and will be one
OF the society events OF the year for

the colonel Take this little thread of
q story, with the inevitable side issues
which the most inexperienced play
wright could interject, shake them well
together and throw them indiscrimin
ately on to the stage, declare that it is
worth a million, and it will be
worth a Million"
II NJ Cranes play is worth mil
lion. what shall be said of 'Trelawny
of the Wells" which is the .reigning at
traction at the Lyceum theatre in this
city? If Mr.. Cranes play is worth
million, ''Trelawny of the Wells is
easily worth enough to buy the Phillip
pines and the Carolines and pay OFF
the national debt besides In other
words, while both are comedies, there
is absolutely no comparison between
the two plays. One is an example Of
how little it is necessary TO put into
stellar vehicle to permit fairly COM
petent company to give an inoffensive
the best types extant of the theory and
practice of light comedy writing OF the
very highest type. 1t has been SAID
that "Trelawny Of the Wells" is sat
ire upon the theatrical profession, but
any one who is given to the habit or
looking at things with his eyes wide
open will see at the first glance that
the play really satirizes the old school
of actors and not the profession in
general. 1t is difficult to say enough
in praise of Mr. Pinero's play without
exhausting the supply of adjectives at
the command of the best thing OF its
kind that New York has seen for many
years is fact which no good judge of
the drama will, l think, attempt to
deny.
1t is impossible to do justice to the
plot of 'sTrelawny of the Wells" in a
condensation of the story. 1t is one of
those plays in which the greatest charm
Lies in the many little turns given to
IAN otherwise commonplace story.
Most of the dramatis personae are peo-
pie of the stage connected with the
sBagnigge Wells, Royal Olympic and
Pantheon theatres in London.
The first act deals with the farewell
dinner rendered to Rose Trelawny, the

other members Of the company. She

William H. Crane does not appear to
have had very good fortune in the Sc
lection of his plays since he parted
company with Miss Martha Morton.
This lady, though by no means the
greatest dramatist in America, never
thel0ss possessed the faculty of exact
ly fitting him with stellar vehicles In
fact, he has had nothing in many years
to which he seemed better adapted
than Miss Morton's Brother john
and "A Fool of Fortune"
Mr.. Crane is now playing his annual
engagement in this city at the Knick-
er booker theater The play is COM
edy in four acts, entitled Worth a
Milion," by Eugene w. Presbrey, the
husband of Annie Russell At the be-
ginning it may be as well to state that
this comedy is not worth a. million or
anything like it. 1t is, in fact, very
sloppily constructed piece, with plot
as diaphanous as the drapery of skirt
dancer.
The role allotted to Mr.. Crane is that
eff Colonel Amory West, retired Chi
cago millionaire, with a prediction
for globe trotting.
When the play opens, Colonel West
has just returned from trip around
the world. He informs his friends
that he has had consigned to his care
100000 worth of diamonds, which are
c sort of conscience fund to be applied
to the support of Miss Phyllis Gregg,
whose father. it appears, had been
wronged by the man who had coEfded
the jewels to the care of Colonel West.
An ex-convict, John Gregg by name is
taken into the employ of a bank
through the influence of Colonel West,
and he is, of course, the father of
Phyllis Gregg, who is known as Phyllis
Gray. A portion of the plot dealing
with heart affairs makes him the sus-

|, for the young actress, who is inclined
to be bit wild and unconventional in
her manner and whose art, as Is de-
veloped later, is of that class in which
the ability to rant is considered con-
elusive evidence Of perfection.
In the second act Miss Trelawny is
at the mansion of the swell people,
as she calls them, and there she is a
constant source of irritation to the
testy old vice chancellor and his impos-
sible sister, Miss Trafalgar Cover. The
girl, torn from her more familiar and
more congenial surroundings and
transplanted into an exotic atmos-
phere, is, miserably unhappy, and
when some Of her former companions
call to inform her of the marriage of
two of their number she instructs the
bugler to admit theLI, despite the fact
that the rest of the family have retir-
ed The player folk do not seem to be
at all awed by their unusual surround
ings, and the male members proceed to
take off their coats, put their feet on
the chairs and tables, smoke pipes and
otherwise to make themselves thor
oughly at home. A quarrel ensues be-
tween two of them, the family is alarm
ed, and the aristocratic vice chancellor
almost goes into an apoplectic fit when
he discovers the actors in his sitting
room. 1t all ends with Miss Trelawny
declaring that she will ~ back tc her
old life, which she does.
