"THE PENITENT" HAS FIRST
WORCESTER APPEARANC E

"The Penitent," which had it's first
worcester appearance at the Worcester
| Theatre last night has a distinctive
Hall Game atmosphere and was much
| better than seemed to be expected
TO Judge by the size of the audience
| The piece is carried through by Its
plot, rather than by any literary merit
though from a dramatic standpoint II
has many features that will make II
popular. The plot is most complicated
as those who have read the story will
know. and 1t Is not until the close of
the third act that the audience Is sure
of the relationship of several of the
characters.
The climaxes of the four acts are
well brought out, though those of the
third and fourth acts are melo-dram-
attic and the third act went rather
fiat. There is plenty of comedy through
out the piece, some Of it a little bur-
lesqued, but all clean and thoroughly
wholesome.
E. L. Davenport in the double role
of Paul Ritson and Paul Drayton
proved a good actor and made the most
of the part. Louis Leon Hall as Hugh
Ritson, the younger son, had a thank
less part and put into 1t much energy
and skill. He was a william of the
weak type and not altogether villain
Gus. Myles Mccarthy as Josiah Bon
nythorne, Walter N. Cook as Sol Go
blofsky, David Hanchett as Parson
Christian, Maude Claire Shaw as Gerta
Lowther and Edith Domby as Mercy
Fisher all are deserving of special men

out Park Avenue to Goes Square ano
there was barely a break until Pleas

Then the leaders pulled away but there
was no decided break until Elm Park
was reached when the final squirt was
started.
The course from the corner of West
and Highland Streets to Goes Square
and return, via Park Avenue, Offered
the men what might appear good
course, but the distance, four miles
was factor in cutting down the num-
