BelaSco.

Brown of Harvard is essentially an
atmospheric play. Although adequately
provided with plot and incident, they are
subordinate to the picturing of college
life as 1t exists today, at least In the
popular mind that is a mixture of college
yeIIs and stein songs, with d little learn
ing on the side. About the only sugses
ton in the play that Harvard is not en-
tire!y given over to athletics is a pile OF
books on the hero's study table. But 1t
is a good, wholesome play, with melo-
dramatic twang and enough heart inter
est to harmonize the whole. There was
present last night d balcony full of stu
dents from the local universities who car
ried the college spirit beyond the foot
lights and relieved the tedium of between
acts by rah. rahing! and indulging in
other antics of a like kind dear to the
student. Their applause did much to
stimulate the players, and Brown Of
Harvard was probably never better pre-
sented.
Harry Woodruff as Tom Brown, the
kid who saves the Harvard crew from
defeat, Is the ideal college man, of up
right principles and calm self-controi un-
der the most trying conditions, who can
pull an oar or write a thesis. but with
lust enough lapses to be human The
play is presented with its original com
pleteness of detail and the supporting
company is entirely adequate.

The impersonation of characters from
Dickens by Edwin Stevens, assisted by
Miss Tina Marshall, is a delightful feature
of the bill at Chase's this week. The
cordial reception of Micawber Dick
Swiveller. Uriah Heep and Grandfather
Smallweed testified to the keen apRre-
citation of the present generation not only
for Dickens, but also for first-class i'm
personation. Mr.. Stevens work was done
with the fidelity of the student as we'll as
with the charm of the actor. He was
well supported by Miss Marshall as Agnes
and the Marchioness. Master Gabriel and
his mimic bulldog Spike made their usual
hit with the audience, and the debut of
Miss Sabry DOrsel in vaudeville con-
tributed to trio of numbers that made
the bill exceptional Miss D'Orsell ap-
peared in the bright Scottish kilt and
sang three familiar Scotch ballads. Her
voice is remarkably clear and strong. at
