ST. JOHNS, y. f., Oct. S.-The fail
urc of the Peary exploring steamer
Windward to return from the north leads
local observers to believe that the ex-
plorer will not attempt TO get back this
fall. Probably the season just passed

that have been the case Lieutenant Pe4ry

AT THE THEATER.
Admirable Production of Zangwilrs
"ChiIdren of the Ghetto"

Israel Zangwills great play, THE Chill
/ dren of the Ghetto" was presented at the
Theater last night 10 a large audience
and one that seemed to be fully satisfied
with the production, if applause was an
;s-ication of appreciation.
The play has been SO much discussed
and written about that nearly every one
knows the story and the plot. The scene
is laid in the East End of London-called
1.-THE Ghetto from which the title Is de-
rived-and the action cakes places about
a generation ago. The story is natural
one, told in a simple way, and deals en-
tirely with Hebrew life and characters.
The old Hebrew law with its many STRIFE
lures forms the basis for the story and
to the lay person, whether he be Jew or
Gentle. there is much of instruction in
the play. 1t appeals strongly to those
who are taught to revere the Jewish re-
lgion, even though they do not practice
it as the orthodox law requires
The play abounds in strong characters,
but the one which is really dominant is
the character of Pinchas, the poet, the
egotist, the humorist, the socialist 1t is
a wonderful creation, and in the book Mr.
Zangwil expended much care In its max
ing. Pinchas Is a rare genius, man of
many sides and varied characteristics He
is type of the Ghetto poet, strongly
drawn and admirably pictured. Mr.. Will
liam Norris, who cared for the role, was
as nearly perfect in its portrayal as he
well could be. The character Is one that
might easily be overacted but not once
does Mr.. Norris overstep the limit He
seems to have been moulded into the
character, and the representation was
superb
Mr.. Wilton Laclkaye, who has gained
much fame and reputation as character
actor OF strength, invests the role of
'Reb" Shemuel with dignity, fervor and
virility, while there Is a finish to his act
ing that Enthusiastically proclaims the ar
fist Mr.. Lackaye is not seen 10 such adj
vantage as he was as Svengali and DIR.
Belgref, but he is nasterful in the Dor
trayal nevertheless.
Miss Rosabel Morrison, as Hannah Ia
cobs the daughter of Reb Shemuel. does
exceedingly fine and clever work but
what less could be expected from a Young
woman who can play Marguerite and Car
men-two such diverse Enthusiastically
well.
The entire company was strong and was
excellently cast.
