THE Right of Way"

1.-THE Right of Way" in which Guy
Standing and Theodore Roberts are be
ing Jointly starred, was IN some re
spects disappointment 10 the lovers
OF Gilbert Parller's powerful novel. The
dramatized version IS epIsodIcaI rather
than a WeU-knit. homogeneous story.
The responsibility for the character
drawing is allowed to devolve entirely
upon tile actors and It Is to Mr.. Roberts
and NIr. Standing that all the credit IS
due sOr the convincing figures Of
Charley Steele and Joe Portugdis. Mr.,
Roberts gives a foTcefuI ana picturesque
portrayal Of the Canadian lUmbeTman.
HIS Interpretation is fun Of viEOr and
primitive manIIness The spirit of dog
like devotion and gratitude 10 the man
who has saved his life is depicted with
much skill and feeling AlT. Standing
IS especially forceful in the first two
acts of the play, where no is seen as
the dissOIute, Cold-blooded aEnostic. IN
the concluding acts he relies rather up
on his commanding stage presence than
upon histrionic efforts for the desired ef-
fects. A word Of praise IS due Miss
May Buckley for her clever and appeal
ing impersonation Of the role Of Resale.

TYPICAL IBSEN DRAMA
ADMIRABLY PRESENTED

I work to a physical enlistment of the
role Her appeal WZs not merely
through the two senses. the eye and the
ear, but there was the influence and
] the personality Of the woman behind and
above these two. The audience was
brought in touch with the mental proc
esses, the moral battle being fought
out by Rebecca West with herself.
II is seldom indeed, that we see emo
tional acting which carries with it such
conviction as the confession in the third
act With remarkable repression and
! seIf-control the suffering. and the men
tai anguish Of the disheartened, de
feated woman were reelected in every
shadow of the pincheC and twitching
features, in the very angles of the tense
figure sitting rigid in her chair. There
was an eternity of woe in each mo-
mentary pause as she endeayOred to re-
count the whole horror Of her purpose
and It's fulhIlment. No one could have
seen this act without being impressed
with the immensely and intensity Of
grief and suffering which is the after
math of transgressiOn Of the moral law.

Ibsen has taught strong psychological
lesson IN this obscure character who IS
introduced TO Us JeCgaTed but with lofty
IDEAS and ideals and who departs at
the end utterly devoid Of hope and
happiness. His case is that of the man
whose every thought is retrospective.
He made his own mind the storehouse
of his know ledge instead Of enrichlng
mankind by giving the world the fruits
of his Iabors. His scInshness concern

Otis SINNERS New Play.

Otis SINNERS new vehicle is ad-
mirably suited to his style Of acting.
but in its Interpretation he does not
add anything TO his artistic stature.
It is to be regretted that TIE dramatisc
who is responsible for The Honor OF
the Family felt called upon to turn
away from the true comedy of his
theme In the last act and give US an
Unpleasant and entirely unnecessary
denouement. This last act is of the
Balzac favor, but it adds nothing to
the logical treatment of the theme and
certainly does not serve as an amusing
climax for a play which is d genuine
entertainment up To thai point
Mr.. Skinner plays the role of a col
onel of the empire with all the aban-
