At the Garrlck they are presenting
dramatic horse OF quite another color.
"The Little Gray Lady" In short,
drama by Mr.. Claiming Pollock, which
has made an instant appeal, purely on
the score of It's simplicity and charm.
The scenes Of "The Little Gray Lady
are laid in the treasury department,
and In the backyard OF Washington
boarding house. Anna Gray. the hero
Inc, is an employee In the treasury de-
partment. She loves young Perryton
Carlisle, q name which ought 10 speak
for itself, as matter OF fact he Is all
that II implies. for in addition to prov
ing false to Anna, he steals 500 bill,
and In the big scene of the play, Anna,
to save him. takes the blame OF his
crime upon herself, Later, Of course, he
repents, comes back to his first love,
and all is as serene as II ever can be
in a Washington boarding house. This
Is the merest outline OF a little story
which Is told with infinite tenderness
and wit The character OF the boarding
house keeper and her vulgar daughter
are inimitably played by Miss Eva Vim
cent and Miss Dorothy Donnelly. Miss
Donneily's success was the more re-
markable considering that the last time
she appeared In New York IL was I'm the
role of Candida" which she created In
the original Daily production. Few ac-
tresses have recently made the Jump
from leading business to character
work so successfully, but Miss Donnelly
has had long experience In stock In her
brothers company at the Murray Hill
to thank for her wide range, Miss Ju-
liza Dean plays Anna Gray" with a
good deal OF charm, though at times
she overacts unnecessarily. This little
play Is likely to keep the Garrick filled
for a long time to come.
Another play which scored a hit on
the same evening as these two already
mentioned was Richard Harding Da-

q story OF the Turko-Grecian war, and
Mr.. Hitchcock appears In the role OF
Copeland Schuyler, brach young New
Yorker who poses for time as a war
correspondent. It's first act Is capt
tai. In the second the interest drops TO
some extent. but the finale, although
quite beyond the bounds of possibility,
brings the piece to a very jolly con-
cluslon. Mr.. Hitchcock, Daniel Fraw-
ley and Edgar W. Davenport and Miss
Nanette Comstock are among the prin-
clpal members Of the supporting COM
pany.
