Belasco.

"The Great Divide" at the Belasco
Theater last night attracted a good au-
dience who listened with rapt atten, N
to the splendid portrayal of the types of
western and eastern civilization portrayed
by Mr. Henry Miller and Miss Margaret
Anglin and their associates. The theme
of the play is daring one and it is
treated with directness that is some
times startling, but it holds the interest
OF the audience during the entire play
1t is great play, even If Illogical In its
denouement. Although the two principals
have surrounded themselves with some
excellent players. one loses thought Of
them after 1t is over and remembers only
the two central figures. First, there is the
man OF the west, reckless, dissipated and
brutal until his life becomes be accident
or force if you will, linked with the
woman who works his regeneration
bringing out the strength of his better
nature and treating her with tenderness
end. Next comes the woman who never
forgets the great wrong done her and
broods over 1t until she hnally sinks upon
his shoulder absolutely won by his great
and overpowering love.

Columbia.

In .ONeill of Derry" the new romantic
play by Theodore Burt Sayre, Chauncey
Olcott, the popular actor-singer. finds
role that admirably fits his striking attri-
butes. His latest offering was presented
at the Columbia Theater last evening to
highly appreciative audience. In his
new role of the young Irish soldier Mr.
Olcott finds an ample medium for the dis
play of his sweet voice, his graceful bear
ing and his cavalierly manners. Certainly
not one of his legion Of women admirers
in Washington will miss seeing him and
hearing the four interpolated songs which
form perhaps the most enjoyable part OF
the entertainment.
Mr. Olcott was in excellent voice last
evening, and every number was received
with enthusiastic applause. Time and
again Mr.. Olcott responded with encores.
He was called before the curtain at the
end of the second act.
The play itself is romantic drama,
with many love scenes wherein Mr.. Oh
colt. as the hero, finds opportunities for
blarney, wit and heroic acting. The scene
of the story Is laid in old Londonderry
and involves in its action the governor OF
the town, Sir Graham Croft: his wife and
one Lawrence Desmond, who returns from
France simultaneously with Bryan
O'Neill, another soldier of fortune.
The intrigue. stirring episodes and ex-
citing situations are ample for testing the
merits of well-balanced company of sup
porting players.
Miss Rose Curry brings TO the leading
feminine role pleasing address. Maggie
Fielding enactS the character part or Mrs.
Mcclure acceptdbly.
The stage settings are strikingly at
tractive the garden scene and the dawn

wanderer is the king. for that brings

dual role of king and substitute. He
shows resource as an actor of romance

the fact that 1t has been presented in this
city on several different occasions. Inter

Miss Bayone Whipple, as Ruth Blake, re-
cites the famous hymn to William Marble,
jr., as Tom Silverton, a wayward man.
whom she is trying to save from drunk
ards fate, until the last act. when Tom
Silverton Is vindicated of crime he never
committed and the guilty parties de-
nounced. The play is void Of thrilling and
hairbreadth escapes, except for the third
act when quite a novel scene is pre-
sented. The entire town of NARROW, where
the action of the play centers. is being
swept by fire, with no possible chance of
escape, except through the use of the
railroad. The nearest town being Cleve,
the railroad people are called on for aid,
but it is found that there is not an avail
able engineer to be found in time to save
the people, when who should turn up but
the hero. Tom Silverton, who safely runs
the engine and gets everybody out of the
town in time, without any mishap, except
injuries sustained by himself by flames.
