HE T H EAT E R.
Belasco.

One Of the most interesting incidents OF
the performance of The Wolf at the
BelascO Theater last night was the cur
tain speech of MIR. Ernest Walter, the
author of the play. Mr.. Walter was
called for with a vociferousness from the
back of the theater which indicated that
he had many friends VINO were wishing
him well. Mr.. Walter is a genial and
youthful writer whose tendency to over
burden himself with abstruse problems
concerning what is love and the ethics OF
the unwritten law might easily be de-
ferred until greater maturity. The
Wolf is intended TO describe exceed
ingiy wicked man with a record as a
correspondent which would do credit To
New York or Pittsburg divorce case. Mr..
Walter Hale plays the part gracefully,
giving it the Mephisto touch which. no
doubt. the author had In mind. The
feminine or juvenile writer OF romance
dearly loved handsome middle aged
man. INSCRIPTIONS in his love affairs. 1t
is impossible to keep track of the dOmes-
tic complicati lions which the plot presents.
The innocent blond heroine. played with
discretion by Miss Ida Conquest, is. OF
course. pursued by The Wolf" but there
are several chivalrous men ready with
shotguns. hunting knives and long
speeches to protect her. Most note
worthy among these is a young French
C6Hdu1an. played WIN duInlTdUlc uiSCcIh-
ment by William Courtenay. He loves
the heroine and goes TO some pains to de-
fer the lethal dispatch of the william until
the end of the third act, SO that the audi
ence may have the benefit of somewhat
reckless and confused artillery demon
stration
Thomas F'indiay. as an old Scotch set
tier has a warm. woolly dialect. obvi-
Ol:Sly correct but rasping. His work dis
plays excellent study but the play al
lows the character to become trivial and
tedious. A young chap in khaki amuses
himself by illusions TO this ScOtchman
old Santa Claus Rip Van Wrinkle and
ot her characters suggested by long white
hair and whiskers. 1t is something of
relief to have the character on the
stage reCte pretty much what the audi
ence is thinking: but this young man
is, nevertheless a very persistent and
moving person In fact well as In make
believe. Sheridan Block. an actor of
much experience. played the part of
scant of mentality, in an imple ssive fash
ion. although inclined to be overdeliberate
in his efforts to enhance the effect of
his scene. The cast. on the whole. is
one of exceptional merit although here
and there there Is note of strident dis
cord. The stage is equipped with one of
the most elaborate scenic settings to be
seen outside of avowedly spectacular pro-
auctions. The closing climax was evident
ly interfered with by lack Of accurate
handling of Lights. and it may be that
other COMMISSIONS of impression in the
story, represented last night are due
TO deficie ncies In detail of stage work
which may be corrected

In discussing the call for the mass
meeting issued by Mr. Gompers of the
A. F. of L.. Secretary De Nedrey of the
central body criticised the call on the
ground that it did not announce by name
the enemies whom organized labor was
to fight.
He said he was opposed not only to the
Secretary of War. as the father of the
injunction bill. but to the President OF
the United States and to the Speaker of
the House of Representatives. He added
that he thought the president of the
parent body of labor should have incor-
porated these names in the call

Majestic.

"A Lucky Dog" without Nat Wills to
head the cast seems or. rather. would
have seemed hopeless had not Frank
Jones amply proved his efficiency as the
counterpart of the former. So much is his
makeup like that Of Wills that even
during the last act the patrons of the
Majestic found themselves straining their
eyes to see if there could not have been
a mistake in the program.
There are pretty girls, who dance much
and sing often: a tough character from
the races, whose language is marvellous: a
real lady villain, with black musta ched
companion, and Frank Jones in the role
of the tramp. 1t is he who really unrav-
els the plot.
1t is a good show. and has some songs
that will be hummed in Washington for a
long time to come.
