A lady whose loyalty TO her father is
equaled only by gentleman's loyalty to
her is the heroine of the play in which
| Mary Mannering Is now appearing at the
Belasco Theatcr. When it comes to de-
plotting a heroine whose fortitude and
sweetness command the truest devotion.
there is no actress more dependable than
Miss Mannering Admiration for her
qualities may even survive play of OBJ
scure merits and uneven performance by
the supporting company.
"a House of Cards" Is a response TO the
interest which has been manifested in
dramas dealing with high finance The
heavy financier is well played by Char es
f1arbury, but the author leaves the audi
ence in some doubt as to whether he is
an innocent victim of circumstances or a
natural crook who finds 1t so easy to
stack the cards that he cannot let a
chance so by. Indeed, the motives which
animate the various characters are so
much clouded al times that there Is need
of beautiful crcdulity and obstinate, sub
lime faith. such as could be made plaus-
ible only By an actress of Miss Manner
ing's Graces. The hero WHO is imper-
sonated by Mr. Frederic rruesdell. with
ardor and It the same time with dignity.
also has certain strains placed upon his
trusting nature: but as he is required TO
do no more than believe in the noble
worthiness of Helen Wentworth. and AS
&
task is not severe.
James Spot:swood plays the part OF a
yonng-a very young English blood. whose
relations with the sister of the heroine
are quite enough to make drama indie
pendent of the main story. There is a
great deal of melodrama: some of it
worthy OF piZZicato in minor key from
Mr.. Rakemans orchestra mark the

in this case YOU daren't say anything
against the burglar. for the houSeb' caking

with an entirely idudabie purpose. Tie
object is to prevent the father from stea J.
Ing some bonds The daughter would re-
turn them to their rightfuP owner. but the
father would hold on to them in order to
bolster up a crooked insurance concern
The apartment she burslar.zes belongs to
the young English blood. who has been
financially running himself for a Young
woman in Paris. who has. she explains
herself. quite innCcently contracted the
habit of accepting large loans and da-
mond dog collars. The situation is en-
harrassing for the two sisters. but the
playwright straightens it all comfor: bly,
in a way that is quite clear. YOU see it,,
although you may not be able to renem-
her the precise details.
The play lacks tine simple drectncss in
story and character development tina
means strength. Episodes are multiplied
until motives necessarily become confused.
and all the unnuestioncd ability o: the
star was needed to prevent number of
scenes from seeming wholly artificial
That the performance found admirers
last night was evident. but the tendency
to conventional melodrama interfered
with the legitimate character study upon
which any play that assumes 10 exploit d
favorite star must depend.
