many requests for repetition.
The story is as follows: Prince Otto
and the Princess Seraphina married for
state reasons even before they have had
an opportunity to become acquainted
and q cloud has come between them as
consequence. The prince passes his
time hunting, while Seraphina dabb,es in
state affairs with the aid of her prime
minister who later not only tries to win
her hand, but to bring about revolution
In order that he may secure possession
Of the throne In fit of anger the prin-
cess stabs her minister to the heart and
is set upon by the populace, from whom
she is saved just In time by the prince,
who takes her to a farmers hut. where
the affection that was driven away by
the interference Of state returns once
more to both their hearts.

hurst's "The Man. of the Hour which has
been playing for the past year in New
York city and is now In its second year
there. The Man of the Hour" is a play
of politics, and the characters around
whom the chief interest centers and which
it is said Mr. Broadhurst has been most
successful in drawing are politicians. The
action, it is stated, occurs In any large
city in America. The story of the play is
as follows: Alwyn Bennett is a young
man of wealth and breeding who IS
spurred to political ambition by his love
for Dallas Wainwright, the niece OF
Charles Wainwright, a capitalist and
street railway magnate. He is elected
mayor through the influence of the poli.i-
cal boss, who intends to use him as an In
strument in pulling through a franchise
bought and paid for by the capitalist.
Once elected, Benefits eyes are. opened to
the real purpose of his hackers, and he
makes a stand against them. In this he is
assisted by James Phelan. the rival boss.
This political battle. waged with all the
weapons of modern politics. is said 20

the genuineness of his performance is

PLAYS ARE MARRIED
TO PLEASE PUBLIC
VTTtTH1N the past fortnight two plays
wv have been presented upon local

TTTtTHIN the past fortnight two plays
wv have been presented upon local
stages which embodied in their
construction the managerial idea of
what the people want" Both had been
rewritten in an effort to secure for them
a wider popularity and each, in its orig
inal form. was a much more artistic
work than the subsequent product of
box-office evolution. ,
These plays were 1.-The Primrose
Path" presented at the cBelasco week
before last. and 'In the Bishops Car
riage." done at the Mason the first half
of last week. The mangling of the first
was almost a crime; of the second. per-
haps nothing more serious than mis-
demeanor
THE Primrose Path" as originally
produced In New York with Margaret
Wycherley in the leading role, was
very different drama from that intro
duced to us at the Beasco. In the orig
inal the artist, Templeton though mar
ried. falls in love with the daughter Of
his millionaire patron and prepares to
divorce Joan SO that he may marry her.
In the Belasco version me girl is in love
with the artist but concern seems
to be entirely for his career"
Even the big secene of the play was
changed. In the original version, when
Joan appeared before her husbands art
class as a model. the husband vented
his little spite by criticising her. calling
the attention of his pupils to unlovely
lines in her face and figure and other
wise ridiculing the woman who, a few
years before, in Paris, had sacrificed for
him her honor. At the Belasco some few
of these lines were retained, but they
were put in the mouth, not of the hus-
band. but of girl art student.
Author Was Responsible
These eliminations and others of sim
liar character doubtless detracted much
from the strength of the play; yet the
changes were made by Bayard WELLER
himself. in Difference to what he was
'persuaded was the public wish. The
play, he decided. must have a happy
ending If 1t was to have a success; and
so, in the end, he wrote meodrama in
stead of tragedy.
AS presented at the Belasco 1.-The
Primrose Path was still a strong play
but as given in New York it must have
been immeasurably stronger. Writing
down to the public is bad business at all
times, particularly when the prejudices,
likes and diSlikeS OF the New York pub
lie are taken as the barometer for the
rest of the country
Louis James manager, in the course
of brief talk before he left the city,
declared New York to be the biggest
Jay town" theatrically in the country.
Yet we, several thousand miles distant
from the boasted great white way" have
to suffer for its vagares and WITNESSES.

changes made in that dramatization al

spirit and will to work on, 1t was an easy
matter perfecting him. He accepted every
suggestion made to him, submitted for
our opinion every bit of business and
pantomine that suggested itself to him as
possibly appropriate, and, as is generally
known, stirred critics and public to en-
thusiasm on the first night
Termed "Creation"
AS is always so, there were writer's who
spoke of the new actors Creation"
Patiently the creation was Mr.. Broad
hursts. He knew what he wanted as
author but needed a medium to develop
it. That medium was Mr.. Brady and l
as stage managers
Now, in McVicars we had a good ex-
emplar of the actor who obeys. Other
actors there are in plenty who do the
same thing, of course; but not many Of
the good ones do so willingly or gra-
ciously, and nearly all of them, when they
get results like McVicars got, deny haV-
ing obeyed at all, but, au contraire tell
how they overrode author and stage di-
rector and insisted on putting forward
their own creation"
We got this sort Of piffe from dozen
well known high salaried players we re-
hearsed in the part after McVicars' un-
timely death. The protest of one against
our discipline symbolizes the attitude of
most of them. That may be Broad
hurst's idea," he said, "but do not agree
with him. 1 prefer my conception of the
character" That Broadhurst could pos
sibly have clear idea of his own about
the role never, seemingly, occurred to the
actor, who withdrew with the lofty obser-
walton that as man who had always
been given free rein for his Creations -
he could not chance failure.
The actor in plays-in plays-who says
that he Creates anything is either liar
or fool. The actor in specially prepared
vehicles is of different case, but to con-
slider them is to get away from our
premise that the play is the first consider
alton.
