continue in "monoIogue." But the siren
song OF the drama tempted him. and he
turned his back resOlutely on these older
loves. The result was an impersonation
which excited at least as much laughter
as his old-time "monologue" and had the
added merit of character and consis-
tency. He is not yet a great comedian.

NatiOual-"A Message From Mars"

National-"A Message From Mars
Charles Hawtrey in "A Message From
Mars" will open a weeks engagement
at the National Theater tomorrow night.
Early last fall. when there was in
New York an almost unbroken success
sion OF problem" and so-called ''ro-
mantle" plays, founded on popular
books. a Message From Mars YVES
presented at the Garrick Theater and
won instant enthusiastic favor on ac-
count OF it's refreshing novelty. whole
some toIe. and the brilliant acting of
Mr.. Hawtrey and his company. 1t was
TO small triumph for American play
writing. as Richard Gauthony. the au-
thor. is native OF this country, al
though he had to 90 to an English actor
manager TO find recognition for his
work
The play is not 50 much OF fantastic
fable as might be presumed. but COM
edy OF modern London life, suggested. as
the author says. by Dickens Christmas
Carol" The same kind OF lesson in
goodwill is taught. but instead OF an
an old Scrooge 70 be bettered BY a dream
we get young Horace Parker. This
embodiment OF selhshness is a rich and
lazy lover Of himself, regardless OF 9th
ers. He is 20 marry a fond and true
girl. and his seIhshness is extended TO
her. He will make no sacrifice OF his
own convenience to crafty her. but
readily lets her defer to him.
It is "A Message From Mars" that
cures Parker or his egOtism. Very much
as Scrooge was made TO see plainly his
own bad behavior. so are Parker's eyes
opened 10 the truth. Under the guidance
OF the Mars monitor he goes into the
streets, looks through the walls OF
houses upon persons who discuss his
faults. becomes a bankrupt and sees his
aflanced bride turn from him in disgust.
AT length. ragged and hungry, sympathy
for other sufferers moves him and when
he awakes he is reformed.
