New York. Sept S.-America has no dramitists to rank with England s Henry Arthur Jones and Arthur Wing Pinero; nor have France and Germany among their men now writing for the stage; and SO Broadway is theatri- cally proud this week ith plays which are, by common agreement, the very best of the two Englishmen's work In this example of Pinero, the name of John Drew is added to the elect. and Johns name is one to conJure modish attention with; and although Jones piece has no starred actor, the ado over It's introduction in New York ahead of London is helped by the presence of the author. So autumn starts in this town with literary and artistic distinction in drama.
 "The HypOerites."
 The portion of Henry Arthur Jones "The Hypoerites" which makes it q marvel, is less than a minute In du- ration, and Is not reached until the end of the third act, The preceding two hours have been occupied by the efforts of an English county family to suppress a scandal It's low for tunes were to have been lifted by its son's marriage to an heiress. Sud denly the prospect of prosperity was obscured by the intrusion of pititul girl whom he has led astray. If the heiress learns what he had done. she would refuse to become his wire. Therefore his parents consipred with their lawyer, physician and pastor hypoerites all with unreal piety-to kill the truth and honor. The culprit swore that he as guiltless The girl was brided by maintenance for her and the forthcoming child, to sign declaration that he was not its tath- CT.
 The only opponent to these meas ures was a young curate. obdurateIy conscientious,- and rcsolutcly deter mined they should not prevail against truth and honor He was coaxed anh berated; he was offered the rewar or a pastorate if he yielded. and the pen alty of expulsion from the church if he stood fast; but he would not be

He brings in a sister-in-i law, with an ad- visory brotherin-law. father-in-law and mother er-in-law-blood relatives of the dead wife. and unafiliated ith the live one-to keep his house in order So the Ellington bride is ignored. snubbed. browbeaten and bullyragged while the memory of her predecessor in wedlock is hung with garlands and circled with a halo. She Is of too spir- ited a nature to endure the cruelty calmly, but her rebellious outbreaks are futile. At length she hits upon the unsuspected fact that the sancti- fled first wife was an adultress. That gives her eapon with which she may vanquish her prosecutors. But she foregoes its use, and instead, gains by admirable renunciation. her proper place in her husbands esteem and at the head of his household. The play is a brilliant Pinero experiment, and Margaret acting in it is a corruseating outburst,

 T thank you" he said to the au- dience on the opening night. aNl then hesitated with a quizzical smile; 'I thank you for-another season"
 In the abundance of new stage mat ter. I have no space for details of this Pinero play. And. anyhow I think you would rather read how Margaret H. lington has to appear against her will as smoker of cigarettes, Some ac- tresses are not averse to the assump- tion of smart loaferism. but most of them dislike to yield to the tobacco habit even in make believe. Pinero's heroine doesn't smoke in sight; but a cigarette case belonging to her Is point in the plot. It isn't an essential point though, and Miss Ellington beg ged to have 1t omtttpd But why should she object to doing in New York what Irene Vanbrugh had done in London? Pinero never valves his reserved right to have his little bit alloyed by dread that because she figures in public as a smoker of cigarettes. people may imagine she is addicted to them in pri- vatc life.

 finger of stage language. There is a James Forbes, who equals him writing the Idiom of Toughland, and excels him at utilizing it in a play. Rose Stahl gave utterance to orbe's parlance in a vaudeville sketch. last year. and this week The Chorus Lady" is a full-length play in a dramatic theatre, Is emotional as Mrs. Fiske or Mrs Carter, but with the fluent diction still defiant of dictionaries Such takers have been horse jockeys. prize fight CTS and other cafe heroes until they are no longer novel, but here is a heroine. a chorus lady" with lips so ungrammatical that you wouldn't ex- pect her to kiss in correct English Patricia OBrien, Pat for short, doesn't kiss recklessly, however. even though she is a showgirl; for she Is wise to the game, cuts the Johnnie joker out of the pack. deal the cards straight and plays them to win out with a hus- band for keeps.
 The orbes assay of showgirl metal is that nine-tenths of 1t is bad as brasFs, but the exceptional etnth is good as gold Pat O'Brien is that one in ten. but whether her younger and prettier isster, Nora turn out brass or gold is a question that Is kept doubt full long enough to provide a third act climax, Need I tell-you should guess it-that a lbertine lures Nora to his apartments, that Pat goes there to res cue her. that when their parents come. the daughters hide in closet, and that when Pats honest lover throws Nora's away from the door and opens 1t, Pat steps forth to declare hersefo an ton. thus saying Nora's reputation and losing her own. Forbes ought to be ashamed Of that lack of originality.
 What makes an amusing comedy of The Chorus Lady" is the same inside view of a slum in stageland that made the sketch humorous in vaudeville. Rut the exhibition is much enlarged and elaborated. A theatre dressing room is occupied by young women looking fit to line up in the beauty row of About Town" or The Man From Now" the W Aek's new plays of feminine enhancement, Asmodeus doesn't lift the roof to let the public look in-he kindly removes a side wall-and the exposure is satisfying deplora ble It isn't that the girls are less slightly than when in footiight- ed action; or that they are disillus- ionizing in their toilet processes; but they are shameless jades, talking freely of their vice. bragging of their liau-

hypocrite and they formally doomed him at a meeting of all the parties concerned. That brought the actt ln up to the minute of the dramatic con vulsion.
 You are hypocrites and liars" the curate cries, in absolutely hopeless denunciation of those who have de- feated him; "all damned -hypocrites are liars-even you" and he holding out his hand towards the miserable girl.
 He has been exceedingly kind to her, and his righteous anger is more than she can bear. She falls into the arms of her recFeant lover, the sight of her distress makes him manly, he blurts out a confession, and the au- dience's applause couldn't be heartier if what they see were actual life.
 The hypocrites' is a triumph of masterly singularity. But If an un- known John Jones, instead or the aupthoritative Henry Arthur. had writ ten it. no theatrical manager would have capitalized the seemingly forlorn hope of a play in W hich right up to the end of the third act. all the char acters save one including the prlnei- pal lovers, are contemptible.
 "HIs House in Ordcr."
 Who says that no play can succeed without lovers? Here is His House in Order" taking the town and nc one in if saving T love you" The author is Arthur Wing Pinero. and from no dramatist less authoritative would any manager have accepted it lack of amorous interest. But the point is that having got to the public. 1t en- tertains strongly notwithstanding, that presumable weakness. That IS the most salient fact about the new Pinero piece. Another peculiaritY IS that it presents Pinero's first ahso- Iu+elv stainless heroine. Margaret H. Iington is she. I use that name rath- CT than that of the fictional character. because you may have the actress. and know what a vital healthy, handsome human creature she is. Yet she is the centre of family cyclone with no phe- nomena of courtship, or divorce.

She enters in plain street attire. throws off her hat, cloak and frock. and lets us see how a show girl puts things on-from complexion and hair to an evening gown and gloves and gaiters. All this is done with no coquetry or guile of manner. And one of the things that the girls don't put on is the dental smile which comes off when the curtain is down.

 "About Town"
 One of the incidents in About Town takes clothes off chorus ladies; hut it alarms the sensitive spectator moro at the start than it shocks at the finish. At this time the chorus represents Parisian wives and grisettes fighting over husband in a wine garden The girls claw and scratch like cats, and the fur that flies is raiment, until all the gowns are torn off and strewn around. But ample covering is left on, and even the seeming eorsets are mere outlines of ribbon,
 More audacious is another display 4 dozen showgirls exactly alike in Gib- son tallness and shapeliness stand well apart with their backs towards the audience. Their long white skirts cling from hips to feet. There are no sleeves, nor any waists worth con. siderine, as the oorsages are not only | very low, but are cut out freely al the armpits, and not so much as ribbon crosses the shoulders. The i light is dimmed. which makes the pow dered baroness match the white oi the tightly drawn skirts. thus giving the look of a dozen plaster images from one mold, ready to be boxed TOT shipment.
