..The Right of Way,, at the Grand.

"The Right of Way" nt the Grand.
 As . drama. not much may be said in pFaIse of The Right of Way as seen at the Grand Wednesday matinee and night. As a series of tableaux. however, with magnificent acting, the offering of Messrs. Klaw q Erianger is superb.
 As brilliant bit of character study. the offering is also magnificent. But as a dramatization of a good novel, Sir Gilbert Parker's naasterpiece falls as far short of the book as do most dranatizations of psychological study. written first in the novel form.
 In the first place there iB not enough continuity to the dramatizatlon. The playwright has taken the cliInaxes of the story and given them Q stage setting, but in doing so ile has lost the story, of the book. The play provides through these climaxes a story itself. And then, too. the ending given the novel has been radically changed--ard this to meet the demands of the Amer ican audience which does not wish any offering on the stage to end tragically. no matter what artistic and logical finale has originally been provided.
 "The Right of War" centers around Charlie Steele and Joe Portugais. This 1t does in the book. hut the book also with a fine hand portrays the charac-
 
 dramatist. on the other hauds seems to hava forgotten ali other characters. As seen on the stage they have no ndividuality--they are mere manikins 1 In flse tabieaux presanted.6 fft
 But realizing that character por- travel by actors, known for their su- perb abilities, was to be presented. there was a brilliant audience present at both performances. And they were not at all disappointed, for the act ing of Guy Standing, Theodore Roberts and Miss Buckley at all times touched the high water mark in the dramatic art, The dramatist has provided them with wealth of material. and every opportunity was used to excellent ad- vantage.
 Guy Standing, as Charlie Steel. the brilliant lawyer who is destroyed by his own mind and liquor, was the cen tre of the five tabIeaux into which the offering Is divided. Tn his acting there was just the right amount of the cynical man of the world, tired of all its shams and deceits, with a great longing for rest. before his fight at the Cote Dorion. Then, as the man living in the present with no Knowledge of the past, his acting was convincing. It was not. however, until he awaked to realization of his past life ana

Guild Racing for Second Place on Ticket With Fort, of

FIGHT IN MASSACHUSETTS
Taft We'll Satisfied With New Eng land eception-RoundiBg
 Up Delegates.
Special Correspondence Journal-Courier

Washington, D. C., March 2.-The recent visit of Governor Guild to Washington has precipitated wide dis cussion as to the probable choice for second place on Republican national ticket. This question has had little at tention up to the present time but now there seems to be a disposition to launch booms for that office.
 There can be no question but that Governor Guild is a receptive candi- date for the vice presidential nomina- tion. As has been pointed out in these despatches he Is ambitious to come to Washington. Perhaps none realize bet ter than he the probability that he is now serving his last term as governor of Massachusetts. Rarely is a gover- nor elected to four successive terms as governor of the Bay state. Gov ernor Guild is now serving his third term. In addition to this he is with out the united support of the Repub- lican party. Prior to the Republican state convention last year strong op- position to the re election was manifes- ted The discontented element In the party was whipped into line, however when Senators Lodge and Crane gave the word that the governor would once more head the ticket. The under standing at that time was that new man would be placed in nomination this year.
 With these condition confronting him there can be little doubt that the gov ernor would welcome the vlce-presi- dential nomination as a solution of his political problem. Here again, how ever, he Is face to face with the in evitable senatorial dictation. While in Washington Governor Guild had several conferences with Senators Lodge and Crane. These must have been of great significance, especially in view of the statement attributed to the governor that he could deliver the Massachusetts delegation to Taft pro- vided a Massachusetts man received second place on the ticket. This posi- lively cannot be done without the con- sent of Crane and that consent cam not be obtained unless there is po- litical upheaval between now and next June That much is admitted by pol iticans who are opposed to Mir Cranes attitude. It is idle, therefore, to dis cuss a pledged delegation from the Bay state.
 In this connection it is interesting to note, however, that Congressman Au- Eustus P. Gardner, brother-in-law of Senator Lodge, has announced his in tention of fighting for an out and out Taft delegation In Massachusetts, Its sor from now on" says MT. Gardner,
