Belasco's Latest Success

"The Wizard of the Stage" as David
Belasco is called, has just scored
another triumph In Washington, d. c.,
where, ON December 26, Mrs. Leslie
Carter presented "Adrea," the latest
production by the authors of 'The
Darling of the Gods"
Something of the play and the well
come it received may be gained from
the following extracts from the review
of it by Fred f. Schrader of the WASH
ington Post:
Mrs. Carter was called before the
footlights at the end of every act; Mr..
Belasco and his collaboration, Mr.. Long,
joining hands with the star, were called
for. and at the end of the fourth act,
a speech from Belasco was Forthcoming
in which he briefly thanked the Wash
ington public and the district officials,
and declared that he was in a. mood
to be charitable even toward his enc
mics, the theatrical syndicate.
"The production proved a personal

been seen in anything showing more

Here they stand face to face. 1t is
the queens first sight of him she has
loved so well. He answers to her blind
ideal of him in all manliness, so that
she is temperate, forgiving, loving. For
a moment he seems to respond. She
pours out all her heart to him, only to
be dazed by the declaration that his
remorse is not for her and her plight,
but for his lost ambitions. He tells her
that he knew of her spelling, and let it
be; that everything has been subjected
to his ambitions. Rising to her feet,
the queen calls in her court. And this
is what she says:
Set him upon a horse of state,
dressed in a robe of gold. Strew his
way with roses Carpet it with Ty-
rian tapestries! Let heralds go before
and cry him conqueror! Imperator!
Let maidens chant him songs! And
if any one so much as soils his gar
ments, he shall answer to me in
chains! And when he has reached
my gates and his men and galleys are
in sight, whip him! Whip him to his
empty camp and hold him captive there
till the manner of his death is fixed
1.-The fourth act takes place in the
queens cabinet. Here Kaeso Is brought
on the way to execution. Even now she
would save him If she could. But aft ter
he comes she knows both how impos-
sible that is and all that Is in her heart.
A frenzied mob surrounds the palace,
maddened with the story of her wrongs.
Grim hands push in through doors and
windows, and are only kept at bay by
the spears of the still faithful Arcissus
and the chains on the openings. And
now she must tell him the manner of
his death, for she has reserved this ex-
quisite vengeance.
He had thought to die a soldiers
death, upon his sword; but it is to be
the death of dog beneath the iron
hoofs of the horses Yet when the first
pale horror of it is past he tells her that
he deserves it and that he will try to
die as a soldier. And then, with death
only a moment off, he tells her how
he has always loved her, but how he
put love aside for ambition, only to
meet this just retribution. She offers
him the sword of Menethus, the symbol
of Justice in the realm, with which to
kill himself. But his hands are chained.
'Youl' he begs. The thought is unen-
durable. She turns her back upon him.
But suddenly turning again, she cries
out "Yes!' and. eye to eve, lip to lip,
so that she may catch his last breath in
the Roman fashion, she puts the sword
through his heart. Are you yet dead?'
she whispers. 'No-again! And SO
again the sword, and then the last
word on his lips, ,Arcadyl' And that is
the echo on hers as she leaves him
there dead. covered by her veil. while
the mob breaks in. 'Areadyr
