Eva Sorel.- Peg is suddenly transform

senger from Mars, played by Henry
j. Hadfield. Mr.. Hawtrey is on the
stage throughout the entire second act,
nearly all of the first act and practically
all of the third. 1t is in the second
act, when he learns the lesson the
messenger from Mars insists on teach
ing, that Mr.. Hawtrey's task is most
exacting. The actor is required to sim
ulate varying emotions, from trivial
annoyance to dire distress of mind and
body, and that Mr.. Hawtrey makes the
illusion SO vivid and convincing is a
tribute to his unquestionable skill as
an actor. Such realistic acting indeed
is rarely seen, so moving, so effective,
yet marked by SO little apparent effort.
Mr.. Hawtrey was ably seconded by
Mr.. Hadfield, who is his supernatural
companion throughout that second act.

E'ranlxlyn F'yles appears to have defined

Nance O'Neil," he writes, "had she

"PRETTY PEGGY" AT THE METRO
POLITAN

'Pretty Peggy is a play by Miss
Mathews, in which Jane Corcoran will
appear in the role of Peg Woffington,
and Andrew Robson as David Garrick,
at the Metropolitan opera house to-
night.
In Pretty Peggy" the author treats
of the love affair of Peg and David
during the years that the two were
the most celebrated players in Lon
don. The story begins at the time
when Peg was playing at the little
circus booth in Dublin, presided over
by Nine. Violante. Garrick visits the
show and is at once captivated by the
"saucy faced Irish girl''-as she was
called by Horace Walpole Pegs warm
heart also proves quickly vulnerable,
and the upshot of the rencontre is
Pegs Introduction to London and its
stage.
The keynote of the early scenes is
Pegs unfailing gayety, her delight
fully girlish vivacity and charming
sauciness. The tenderness of her
love for Garrick is suggested, however,
as the action progresses, while in the
brisk repartee of the coffee house wits
and critics. which supplies portion of
the comedy element to the piece, we
have something more than a hint of
the life of theatrical, literary and in
tellectuaI circles of London nearly two
centuries ago. Peg becomes as noted
among the London players as Garrick
himself. She has an unbounded inno-

1T was a dramatic and impressive
tE lesson in altruism, that taught by
III the three-act play, "a Message
From Mars presented at the Met
ropolitan during the first half of the
past week. Lest it prove dull and mo-
notonous as lessons do when taught in
didactic- fashion and with dignified
solemnity, Richard Ganthony, the au-
thor, clothed it in a comedy garb. and
appealed to the sense of humor rather
than the fountain of tears to exploit its
teachings. Consequently the chief
character. Horace Parker, the embodi-
ment of Selfishness, is shown as a COM
edy character, with keen sense of hu-
NOR. 1t is said that in the play as orig
inally written the character of Horace
Parker was that of a serious minded,
morose, melancholy individual, as des-
titute of wit and humor as the Mar
tians themselves. With such a per-
sonage in the foreground, it were a
tedious difficulty to make the play at
tractive. This mistake was realized
and rectified by molding Horace Parker
on directly opposite lines and creating
a modern clubman hopelessly selfish
and eminently satisfied with himself,
but with pleasing personality good
natured exterior and a lively apprecia-
tion of the humor of things. Thus we
have a comedy, not tedious lugu-
brious melodrama, stuffed with mawk-
ish sentiment. Laughter, not tears,
emphasizes every telling point. 1t is
not tragedy, but a comedy, excep-
tionally entertaining = amusing to an
extraordinary degree, sustaining inter-
est to the very last moment, appealing
to the better nature. to the very heart
of the coolest nature
1t was finely acted by, Mr.. Hawtrey
and his company. Upon two charac
ters falls the brunt of the task-Hor-

MAXINE ELLIOTT IN "HER OWN
WAY"

Maxine Elliott in the successful Clyde
Fitch play, 'Her Own Way" will
appear at the Metropolitan next Thurs
day night. The coming of Miss Elliott
in this comedy, which enjoyed the
prestige of run at four different New
York theaters in succession, is one of
the events of the season, and the box
office indications are that Miss Elliott's
engagement will be notably successful
Her Own Way" is a story of modern
life, and the characters are all rep
resentative American types, such as
one might meet In real life. The at
mosphere and treatment are distinc-
lively American. Georgiana Carley,
played by Miss Elliott, is a splendid
type of the modern Independent Ameri-
can girl, while the roles of Dick Cole
man, her lover, and Sam Coast, the
unscrupulous millionaire, are said to be
true examples of reality.
Georgiana Carley, the girl, is loved
by both men, but she really shows her
preference for Dick, in a delicious com
edy scene which takes place in the
children's nursery. In this scene Miss
Elliott rompS with the children, plays
blind mans bluff, and hides under the
table. But the love making of Sam
Coast in his rough, rugged way, inter-
ruptS the fun. Coast deliberately lies
to Coleman, in order to make him be-
lieve that Georgiana is already engaged
to him, and Coleman then goes to the
Philippines as volunteer. Meanwhile
Coast finds that he has a hard task be-
fore him to win Georgiana and he then
pursuades Georgiana's weak brother to
gamble away the entire fortune of the
family so that Georgiana, in her pow
erty, may be led to accept him and his
millions. How Georgiana insists upon
having her own way, and resists the in
f1uence of friends and family in order
to be true to her absent lover, is charm
ingly and convincingly told in the sue
ceeding acts. Even when news comes
that Dick has been killed, she still in
sists upon having her own way and in
the end happiness rewards her.
Incidental to the love story there are
many clever scenes and bits of satire
dealing with social matters and current
life, treated as only Fitch can treat
society. Manager Charles B. Dilling-
ham presents Miss Elliott here with
the same cast and production seen in
New York. In the supporting COM
pany are Charles Cherry, James Carew,
r. c. Herr, George Lawrence, Nellie
Thorne, Fanny. Addison Pitt, and little
