MEN IN BROTHER
OFFICERS ARE IT
FINE PLAY, WHICH THEY DO
WELL AT BELASC0
Harry GIazler Makes Bow at This
Theater; is Heartily Greeted.
Mason Presents Musical
Comedy

Brother Officers" which opened at
the Belasco for q week last night, is
mans play; the women have little
to do In It, and are of small import
ance in the development of its plot and
the telling of its story. Yet It is
play that will please and attract every
woman who Is fortunate enough to
see II.
The drama-a military affair-relates
the story of an English officer who has
risen from the ranks-an almost inn
possible performance there. The viii
lain has done him a great wrong in
that, early in life, he has eloped with
the officers mother. stealing his faith
er's money. This man has become
very rich in Australia, and is now in
so-called society" There the hero
meets him, and in the fine third act,
they battle with their wits for the
honor of another, weaker chap, who Is
to wed the girl that the hero loves; and
the hero wins by exposing this villain
and showing him up for what he Is.
This act is very strong. though very
calm and repressed one, and In 1t Lewis
Stone as Kinds, the hero, and Harry
Glazier as Hutton, the crude million
aire are superb in their work. Though
the act contains all the opportunities
for melodrama If overdone, it never
verges on that because of the fine and
careful acting which these two do.
Miss Gardner Is at her best as
Baroness Royden, though she has no
very great amount Of work to do. Her
share i'm the third act is splendidly
done, quite redeeming her last weeks
playing. Vivian hardly wins ones SYM
pathy as Pleydell, the weakling for
whose losses at cards Kinds compels
the exposure of Hutton not that he
doesn't do all he can with the role to
compel it, but because the character
Is that of a cad at best. Miss Howe has
another grand dame role which she
fills to perfection, Mary Graham is fine
in smaller one and Marian Berg in
the tiny part of Kate Johnson is par
ticularly sweet. The balance of the
men all do what is expected of them
and more, in the several parts intrust-
ed to them.
Tonight the Belasco will be turned
over to Roosevelt camp, Spanish war
veterans, who will have their annual
benefit there. The play is a particu-
lalrly fitting one, being of military
nature, and the affair has added in
terest because Mr.. Stone was himself
a first lieutenant in a New York regi-
ment and went to the front with his
command. He is the only veteran of
that war on the Los Angeles stage
and his appearance tomorrow night is
certain to arouse the audience to a fine
frenzy.

He went to Leightons state and after try

search. First he took out all of Leightons wearing
apparel and patted and pinched it inch by inch; he
squeezed up neckties, unrolled handkerchiefs, ex-
arnined shirts, and crumpled up silken hosiery.
Then he took the shoes, half dozen pairs He
had been suspicious of shoes since he once found
dozen diamonds concealed in false heels. But these
heels weren't false
Next he turned his attention to the hand bag, the
suit case, and the steamer trunk, all of which he
had emptied. Such things had been known to have
false bottoms and secret compartments These
had none He satisfied himself absolutely this
point by every method known to his art.

So saying, he wound up his musical box un-

then, feigning to pick up stone, he placed
the box (whose gritty surface made it look
exactly like one) on the boulder beside him,

order to frame magic spell by which the
buried money was to be discovered. From
that day he became very mysterious and
wonderful person in their eyes, and his
strange doings-which grew stranger still
every time they were told-were the talk of
the whole country round
But it unluckily happened that among the
many who heard and wondered at these
stories were gang of Arab robbers who
haunted the neighboring mountains; and it
struck those scamps that it would be, no
bad plan to get hold of this wonder-working
European, force him to unearth some OF the
hidden money for them, and so make them
selves rich for life.
One hot afternoon the professor had wan
dered to considerable distance from the
camp in search of a new spot to dig .tor
relics. He was sitting in the. shade OF a a
boulder thinking over all he had done and all
that he meant to do, when suddenly there
came gliding out from between two great
rocks right in front of him six. or seven tan
wild-eyed ferce-looking Arabs in soiled
white turbans and ragged blue, trocks, every
man with long gun on his shoulder ana
huge knife in his tattered crimson SASH.
Herr Altenstein knew at the hrst glance
who these grim-looking fellows were ana
what they wanted. But he had not lived 1or
wears in the East without knowing how 60
deal with Arabs. He never stirred from his
S1iace but only turned his head slowly round,
and looked full at them through his great
green spectacles, without utterlng word.
