New National Theater.

Just Out of College was presented last
evening at the New National before a
crowded house.
While In no sense Juvenile pantomime,
there is that buoyant. genial, youthfulness
which makes all the personages of an AIDE
farce distinctive. Fledglings from college
and the girls they fall In love with, an
errand boy, a bank agent, an insurance
agent, stenogra pher. bookkeeper and a
news stand girl. all have the impershable
impertinence and slang of youth. Even the
pickle nagnate and the maiden aunt who
control the fortunes of the young people
retain go and vim equal to the zest of
the souvenir collectors appetite for pickles,
which Is llmftless.
The play is not OF the mature sentimental
order, but the satire which hits off the

Belasco Theater.

The initial production of money Talks, -
| a new American comedy by Cleveland Moi
felt, was received at the Belasco Theater
last night with degree Of approval that
promises well. Several things contributed
to making last evenings performance one
of exceptional interest. In addition to its
being the premier presentation of a new
playwright's first bid for favor and the ap-
pearance of that old favorite character
actor, William H. Thompson. in the leading
role the performance was a benefit by the
Daughters of the American Revolution for
the building fund Of their new continental
hail. and the playhouse was crowded with
members of that organization.
Mr. Moffett's comedy may be classed as
a society play, presenting on the one hand
types of men and women who have in
herited wealth and social distinction, and
on the other hand those who have gained
their millions by individual energy through
long period of arduous effort and who are
ambitious for recognition among the elite.
But, unlike many plays of somewhat SINH
lar theme, Money Talks" does not depict
the newly rich In a ridiculous light A
western millionaire, Lucien Merri-
more, determines to secure as a husband
for his idolized daughter, Helen, the son of
distinguished old family, Schuyler Liv-
ingston, whose inherited money has been
absorbed by unwise Investment. Merri-
more selects this young man after careful
inquiry into his character. The daughter
meets Livingston while Incorporating as
Helen Wheeler and mutual affection springs
up between the couple: The selfshness Of
Livingston's sister and a set of involving
circumstances develop complications that
serve to hold the interest Of the auditor un-

The piece contains many clever lines and
deal of epigrammatic keenness which
| commends 1t to lovers of refined comedy.
| AS the western millionaire Mr.. Thompson
| is seen In most congenial role. He de-
pets the character as a shrewd man of
business, frank and honest, and possessing
| great big heart. capable of much tender
| ness. Throughout the piece his wholesome
| wit was delightful, and on several occa-
| sions his appeal to the emotions was strik-
| ingiy effective. Mr. Orme Galdara gave a
| most creditable delineation of the role OF
| Schuyler Livingston, and Miss Amber Law

Merrimore. Miss Lawlord displayed intel
