WAR BALLOON'SFLIGHT
AERoNAUTIC EXPERTS RETURN
FROM MARLBORO, MD.

Maj. Edgar Russell and Capt. {. Der
Chandler OF the army Signal Corps re-
turned here this morning from Marlboro
Md. where they spent last evening after
successful Night from Washington IN
the new big balloon made specially Tor

Belasco.

With no pretension to an elaborate plot
nor claim for distinction as an addition to
serious contemporaneous dramatic litera-
ture. Going Some" at the Belasco The
alter last evening, proved a most delightful
and refreshing change from the problem
plays which have occupied the stage TO
such marked degree for some time. De-
spite its frivolous title, which will be
changed no doubt. Going Some is a
comedy that holds the interest throughout
the entire four acts. The new candidate
for public favor is the collaborated eff
forts of Paul Armstrong and Rex F..
Beach. and comprehends in pleasing
style all the attributes OF the successful
farce. That 1t won instantaneous approx
al is shown by the applause which greeted
the crisp and funny dialogues and the
comical situations. This appreciation
found elimination at the close of the
third act in calls for Mr.. Armstrong, who
did not respond, but in his stead Mr..
Richard Bennett, who plays the leading
role in the comedy, acknowledged the
compliment in a neat speech.
Going Some" recalls memories OF The
College Widow and in this respect Is a
play of types and slang rather than a
drama of the heart interest kind. Its
strength lies chiefly in the delineation of
two types, one the antithesls of the other,
which most happily balance the motive of
the play and eliminate apparent inconsis-
tencies. All the acts are short and the
sentences bright and amusing. The char
acters are we'll drawn and the company
we'll balanced and satisfying. There isn't
a tagging moment during the entire per-
Torrance. the striking feature of the COM
edy being its snappy action.
The story recountS events leading up to
foot race arranged between representa-
tives of two rival cattle ranches in New
Mexico. The central character is a youth
from an eastern college. whose collegiate
reputation is based solely upon his talents
as head yeller" or chief rooter at athletic
events, and who Is striving to impress a
young woman by his pretended prowess
The COW puncherS have backed him to
win the race and he is forced to support
his bluff.
The four upon whom rests the burden of
the work and to whom the success of the
performance is largely due are Richard
Bennett as Speed; James q. Sullivan in
the amusing role Of Larry. a trainer:
George Marion as Willie. the bad man.
and Howard EstabrOok as Fresno the
warbler of "Dearie." Some excellent work
is done by George X. Henery in the role
of S.ill Bill Slower and K. Fernandez, a
Mexican; Ben s. Higgins as the Indian
and w. r. Knibloe in the picturesque
and trying role of Skinner. who throws
the race to Speed.

into the Police Court this morning and

police charges by the prosecuting officers
it was decided that neither man had COM
mitted an offense upon which he could
be held. and they were given their liberty.
Later the girl was turned over to the
custody of the mother by the authorities
al the house of detention.
The trouble is said TO have been the
result OF desire upon the part OF the
father to obtain temporary possession OF
his daughter. Harris and his wife were
recently divorced. II is said. 1t is also said
that there is a probability of the domestic
difficulties between the parents being
amicably adjusted.
