NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-A guyed drama
may be a highly successful drama If none
of the guying is done out in the auditorium
and the only guyer back on the stage is
the actor of the hero. This is not only a
mere theory, but positive fact proved by
Ralph Stuart in by Right of Sword" In
the character of a young American in Rus
STA he goes through this new play jester
under conditions of gravity as we'll as
gaiety. making sport of his own bravery
and others murderous enmity, chatting the
girl he loves and the scouhdrels who seek
to destroy her; fighting a duel smilingly
and facing death without a frown-. The
piece would be a strong but quite usual
melodrama if it were not for Mr. Stuart s
behavior, which makes il novelty. We
have had thousands of debonair heroes IN
stage fiction. know, but / recall none with
whom audiences have had so jolly time as
they do with Ralph Stuart's Jack Hamil-
ton. They laugh at his wooing and his
fighting, his reckless dashes into danger,
and his hairbreadth escapes; and, mind
you they are not making fun of him, but
are enjoying the fun he is making for them.
