nay necessary. for Mr.. Hunter to return to
Nevada. for there is flaw In hts title to
the Silver Girl mine. He prepares to set
out immedia tely. but his wife fails him at
the last moment. telling him he may as
well bury her as to take her back to the
west. He goes alone. leaving her and the
children In New York.
Then Hargrave. wicked and deceitful as
ever, pleads with Mrs Hunter to fly with
him. She consents. and plans are made for
the departure. The governess. who loves
and Is loved by the son of the family. over
hears the conversation. and in her love for
the son goes to the father who, by the
way. has missed his train and comes back
to wait for the next. and tells him the
whole sad truth. He will not believe her.
The scene which follows, wherein Hargrave
challenges Hunter to duel with pistols,
creates one of the strongest situations of
the play.

tense interest and one that will make a
strong appeal to lovers OF the realistic in
dramatic productions may be CLEANED from
the following brief synopsis of the most In
teresting portion of the play:
Mr.. Jefferson Hunter George Fawcetb
has a stroke of luck In connection with his
mine. The Silver Girl 1t yields abundant
ly, and he Is made wealthy. He has mar
ried for the second time. his wife being a
very beautiful girl, who has been petted
and spoiled and humored by all about her.
and he idolizes her. making OF her a per-
feet doll. They have a yearning to travel
and agreement Is entered into between
Mr.. Hunter and his partner Chuck Wilson.
whereby the former may live in the east
wherever he chooses, and the latter will
stay at the mine. SO when the play opens
we find the Hunter family-there are also
a grown son and daughter by a former

them; the noise the excitement of the bust

pleasure-bent throngs. Mr.. Hargrave,
man about town. and Mr.. Hanson a young
lawyer. call on the family on business and
soon become fast friends. MIR. Hargrave Is
fascinated by the loneliness and charm of
Mrs Hunter. and he proceeds to show her
all the places of interest. taking her for
long trips in his car, to the theaters operas,
lunches. and everywhere. She is pleased
and fattered by the attention showered
upon her. and for the time her head Is
turned. Ii is all new to her that she Is

New Academy.

When Charles f. Blaney presents his lat
est and most successful melodrama. From
Sing Sing to Liberty" at the New
Academy this week the public will
have an opportunity of seeing two very
novel scenes. The play was written by
Harry Clay Blaney. in which he has woven
a story of heart interest. while the comedy
element has not been overlooked. The story
of the play begins in the office of the Nor
gan Safe Company. where the hero is &C
cused of crime by his supposed best
friend for which he is condemned to death.
The second act shows the interior of Sing
Sing prison with dungeon cell and a steel
cage fitted with Yale and Towne locks,
which is exact reproduction of the cage
and locks used In that famous prison, from
which the hero escapes in full view of the
audience, with the stage lights all up bright,
so as to show how he gets away. The third
act shows ward In New York state in
the regulat ton straitjacket that is used
at Bellevue Hospital. which IS fitted with
paddock buckles, from which he again
escapes in view of the audience. 1t is
claimed by hospital authorities that 1t Is
impossible for man to get out of one of
these straitjackets. still Cunning" the
great jail breaker. who plays the hero does
this at every performance. In the fourth
act, the scene of which is laid in Dago
Joint in the East river docks, with the East
river and Brooklyn bridge for a background,
he is again found making his escape from a
packing box in which he has been securely
nailed. and through the fidelity of the hero
inc everything ends happily. Mr.. Cunning
invites the police department or any one
else to bring handouts or shackles to be put
on him in the great Sing Sing scene.
On Friday night he will be securely nailed

Is by David Wark Griffith.
"A Fool and A Girl Is described as
human play, a designation which perhaps
better than any other fits Its description. as
the story is a tale Of human emotions love
and frailty, laughter and tears being
blended In its telling. The opening act
takes place in San Francisco. In summer
time before the earthquake came. There Is
a gay party In q private dining room OF a
famous restaurant. The music lends added
charm, and careless voices are heard above
the orchestra. Perhaps this little party
might b, considered trfle noisy. Into this
place a young man. the Fool of Mr.. Grit
fith's story, wanders and drinks deeply OF
its glamoured atmosphere. Having plenty
of money at his command, the FOOL easiiy
becomes a victim. and two of the livery
party, sisters, the younger or Whom Is ths
Girl begin to weave web into which the
Fool quickly walks and becomes en-
tagied In it's silken meshes: The second act
brings them, both the Fool and the Glri, TO
the hop fields at Niles Canyon.
Here a change appears in the attitude
of the Girl Her slangy talk. her dashing.
perhaps bold, manner have disappeared. and
she Is a demure. bashful. innocent little
maid who apparently knows nothing of
the world. With nothing to do but sit be-
meath the moonlight and watch his pretty
little ensnarer. the Fool falls In love. All
