rHE DETROIT.

Miss Julia Marlowe closed her en-
gagement in the Detroit opera house
Wednesday night wnen she appeared
In the title role OF her new play.
Gloria"
Gloria" is romantic comedy writ
ten fov Miss Marlowe by James B. Fa-
gan. young IrishmaH, who is hailed
liz London as one of the literary lights
OF the present ago.
Tho scene OF the play is in Florence,
and the time the sixteenth century
The plot hinges on tho efforts OF three
lovers TO win the heart and hand OF
Madonna Gloria Capponi, an impetn-
Gus young noblewoman, who is self
willed. naughty AMI headstrong. She
determines TO have her own way In
all things, whether IL be with her serv-
ants or her lovers. For time snc
carries matters with high hanl.
fiouts her admirers capriciousiy and
disdainfully, sending them to the four
corners OF the earth at her bidding.
There are Capt. Banlbazone. with
wonderful appetite: Count Silvi0
Spini, who writes most inspiring poe.
try and Sir Philip Lilcy, an English
man. and II devolves upon the latter TO
bring Madonna Gloria TO her senses.
Sir Philip is the victim OF her most
outrageous pranks, but he finally rises
to object
He determines to teach the young
lady a much needed lesson. After his
dignity and finer feelings have been
trampled In the dust by Gloria and
her companions. Sir Philip decides TO
whip her. This he does roundly. or
the stage, of course. and tho spectacle
of Gloria thus ANONYMOUSLY punished
is really one of the Impossible things
of the play
By thus proving his mastery, Sir
Philip subdues the lmperious Gloria
and in the end she capitulates, the
closing scene showing her in the arms
OF the Englishman.
In the play Gloria Is a sort of Kath.
crime with the shrewishness left our,
apparently taking life as IL made for
her special privilege 10 laugh and
make merry at the expense or Others
While the spectacle OF man. an Eng
llshman gentleman al that. beating "A
woman, Is repulsive and decidedly 90
ncxious TO refined taste, there were
perhaps few In the big audience that
witnessed the play Wednesday even
ing. but went home rowing that Gloria
received nothing but her deserts.
or the play itself, there is not a
dull moment In It, and while the MI.
NOR Is broad at times, the comedy pro.
duces the effect that Mr.. Pagan ev.
IDENTIFY intended 1t should, that OF CIV
ing Miss Marlowe an opportunity to
display her excellent talents.
The part OF Sir Philip was admir-
ably acted by White Mhittlesey. Fred.
erick Lewis, as the iover-poet, and
Capt. Bambazone impersonated by Ben
Field did excellent character work,
while Alice Harrington was delightful
as Madonna Cassandra.
The scenery depicting the garden
OF Capponi palace ard the loggia OF
the same palace was unusually beau
tiful. while the gowns OF Gloria were
elegant and fashioned with true COR
rectness of the style OF the period la
which the comedy was written. Taken
as a whole, the comedy provided All
evening OF delightful entertainment.

The plot OF this interesting drama
tells OF blind mothers search for

its pathos and comedy. The big
scenic sensation is the jackknife

two such distinguished stars az Mar
Raret 'Anglin and Henry Miller I'm the
principal roles, and a play that has
been made so famous as q drama OF

heen, IL Is no wonder that local play
goers are eager 10 see the production

has been occasioned by its unusual
run In New York city. II Is fortunate
for Detroit that IL Is to get this origi-
nal company with both Miss Anglin

other two companies which are tour
ing the country in this extremely popu-
lar play.
