THE LOVE ROUTE"
Strong Play With Miss Odette Tyler
 at the Hynerlon.

Strong Play With Miss odette Tyler
 at the Hyperion.
 At the Hyperion last night "The Lcve Route," a play by Edward Peple, wh, is also the author of the very suc- 2essful Prince Chap" was received with good show of approval. It is a play that bears the marks of good play writing and what is more inter- esting, good American play writing There is an abundance of life and strength and wholesome outdoor fun and lovemaking. The story is laid, for the most part, on a Texas ranch. A phase of life that seems to be appeal ing to writers of plays to-day, witness the two present New York successes aThe Great Divide" and '1EI3se of the Rench." "The Love Route" depicts that life in a manner interesting and artistic.
 Miss Odette Tyler as Allene Hous- ton, owner of the ranch, plays the role of the strong willed girl of the plains, with a distinct charm and grace. Miss Olive May as Miss Lily Belle Hazel, a girl from the east is as breezy and delightful as a morning in May. The work of Mr. Ingersol as John Ashby was thoroughly strong and convincing. The cast throughout is competent. George Woodward as

They were able to keep up with the others, for by o'clock the race had developed into procession, due, it was said in a number of the training camps, to an agreement of the contestants. They claim that they have been un- fairly treated and have agreed not to work until the management makes some arrangement by which their ef- forts will be properly recognized and recorded. Arm in arm, members of ri- val teams slowly pedalled along the level floor at the base of the bowl, reading the morning papers and joking with each other.

The request of Powers to go faster was completely ignored.
