BELASCO COMPANY
TO PLAY "CASTE"

Guy Standing and tie members of his
company will begin the fourth week Of
their summer season at the Belasco
Theater tomorrow. when their efforts

light comedy, the offering being T. w.
Robertson's play, entitled caste" In
which the ludicrous contrasts provided
by class distinctions IN London and it's
suburbs in the middle OF the past CEN
tury are set forth.
Caste" depicts in a divertIng and
laughable manner a series of events Of
Importance in the lives of several MEM
bers Of two English families, whose So
cial stations are as irreconciliablv OPP
posed as the proverbial poles. The Hon.
George D'Alroy. as whom Mr.. Standing
will appear. is a genial and jovial young
man OF democratic likes and dislikes.
whose mother. the proud and overbear-
ing Marquise de St. Maur. is occupied
solely with the furtherance and per-
petuation of her rigid ideas of class
distinctions Herself an autocrat of the
most imperious sort. the marquise's be-
lief is not that Of "Class against Glass,
but rather that the only class worthy OF
even thought is that section of the pop
ulation whose chief assets comprise an
overplentiful supply of worldly goods
and an unassallable social position.
This belief she tries religiously to in

viii enter the fourth week of their sup
Elementary engagement at the ColuWbia
theater with a revival Of ms former
success The Pride Of Jennico," based
on the chief incidents Of the novel OF
the same name b. Agnes asd EEerton
Castle. The main love story. though
woven in and out OF highly thrilling
incidents. IS full Of tenderness and pa
thos. and invested with the cnarm OF
genuine romance. Duels and encounters
provide a gallant display Of swords. in
which the hero shows his pr0wess. while
his deeds Of pFowess carry the action
with spirit and dash through a rapid
development of episodes to the fnal
climax
The pIay departs considerably from
the novel ard especially in the last two
Gets which are practically original with
the authors. The story revolves around
the adventures of Basil Jennico. a
young Engl lshman, who IEheTits a vast
Hungarian estate, with the understand
ing that he must we'd a woman % high
rank. in keeping with the family name
In this way he falls in love with the
Princess Marie Ottilie of Dornheim. who
pretends TO be her own maid. he first
meets the princess and her maid in a
storm when they all take refuge in the
Hall Of Portraits" Of the Castle OF
TellenLnal. The princess is capricious-
" roguIsh, changes place with her com
panicn, and thus passes herself off up
on Jennico as her own lady-in-waiting,
who promises to use her influence in
furthering his suit with the Princess.

on account Of the will. although he
actually falls in love with the supposed

The real Princess Ottilie loves him,

HackeH Produces NezU Play;
Not 10 to Sutro,s Standard

- UT for the buzzing of electric
- fans the theatergoer at the Co
lumbia last Monday night would
have had nothing TO indicate that
the regular season was at an end. TOT
James K. Hackett offered an elaborate
production of John Glayde's Honor
one of this seasons plays, and new 70
Washington. The drama is the most re-
cent work presented in America from
the pen OF that forceful playwright. Al
fred sutro. whose "The Walls OF Jer-
icho" was one of the sensations OF the
1866 season The play was produced
by M. Hackett in the fall and was tax
en- to Chicago, where II was faVoraDly
received. New York, however. turned
+ her thumbs down. and the star soon
withdrew 1t. abandoning his season and
going to the Canadian woods for a rest.
Viewed from a technical standpoint
Mr. SutrO has written a play of much
merit His situations are built up con-
sistently and logically and the charac-
: tiers are handled with much OF the clev-
srness so manifest in his earlier play.
+ The dialo que at times Is brilliant.
II is IN the absence of any direct Au-
man appeal. however, that the play
fails. The atmosphere is French, and
/ the characters English. yclept Aneri-
can. The sympathy aroused for the
man, ard nOminally Tor the woman. is
/ of a negative character for surely the
husband, who has allowed himself to

Nor can any normal individual eX-
cuse the wife who becomes the pur-

cause her husband has given his time
10 business affairs. The entente cor
dale is never established between the
auditors and the people OF The play.
We view the struggle between the
business man and the artist for the
possession OF the woman with interest,
but at the same time with an aloof-
ness that does not enable the author
TO drive home any truth which would
make the brown-taste drama worth
while.
AS for it's Interpretation Mr.. Hackett
is to BE- congratulated. His second act
is admirable. There are flashes OF real
. genius IN the manner in which he
depicts the keenness OF the sorrow
with which the iron king learns OF the
desertion of his ft1vOrite nephew,
while the portrayal of utter woe when
he learns that his wife has been
.IreacherOus. Is masterTul His last act
is not so forcefully conceived The
support on the whole was altogether
satisfactory
