ago is the feature of the bill at Chase's
this week. 1t is rapid-fire twentymin-
ute talk, with the pictures sandwiched in.
The pictures are beautiful and the de-
scriptions and pleasantries aptly told but
the real charm and interest Sis sadly
handicapped by the whirling pace requir-
ed in crowding an evenings entertainment
into less than half an hour.
The remainder of the bill is the custom
airy program of humor and familiar feats
of skill. George w. Barry and Maude
Wolford caught the fancy of the audi
ence in new verses to well-known songs.
and the Wolpert trio performed some
clever acrobatic feats The Grassys in
troduce themselves in a bit of looking
glass delusion and present a new musical
act. w. c. Field is very clever in droilery
and difficult work with hats. Grace Leon

and Will NJ. Cressy and Blanche Dayne
give a new piaylet, THE Wyoming
Whoop," exploiting in highly imaginative
style the experiences in far west journal
ism. The vitagraph in The Nurse Girls
Strike closes the bill.

7 HE T EAT E R .
Belasco,

\ curious and fascinating blend of ma
terial was displayed at the Belasco The
alter last night under the title of Gloria, .
with Julia Marlowe as the star. 1t is
what might be called Shakespearean
farce for the characters are taken almost
bodily from the Shakespearean plays and
put INTO a plot whose humor is Efficiently
broad to please the most stalwart Eliza
bethan taste. 1t is not fun which causes
propriety to vince. but it is so strongly
coiored with the grewsome that during
the second act there are moments when
the grotesquely funereal predominates
over all other Impressions
An effort to overemphasize comedy is
apparent through the first act. and
through the second up to the telling Incl
dent OF the play; that in which the lover,
after being hoaXed into concealine the
carcass of wild boar under the belief
that Gloria Is murderess, and that he is
protecting her from the consequences of
crime follows the viXenish heroine into her
house and switches her as one would a
naughty child. 1t may be seen from the above
suggestion, of what rugged material the
place is made. Yet. barring the DISPOSE
ton to retard the action by looking for
points where they are not it is well han
died Although the discipline seems harsh
the little Italian shrew's trif1ing with the
love. of generous and self-sacrificing
English gentleman comes mighty nearly
JustIfylng the chastisement; especially as
the switch is very little one. and the
pain ln1icted is to pride rather than to
physical being. From this point onward
the play fairly rOmps to it's happy though
by no means conventional, conclusion
Almost every character is like a re-
newal of old friendship in Shakespeare
Yet with all this masqueradng the de-
llneatlonS are good specimens of COM
mon humanity. The heroine is a Kath-
crime who awaits an even more resolute
PetruChio than the shrew of the original
play needed; the hero supplies this want,
and in SO doing hints that poor Malvolio.
after being prosecuted and derided
through all these centuries has at last
gained spirit and become a wooer to be
reckoned with. And there is a touch of
Benedick's gallant WITT in the impersona-
ton which finds ready answer from the
heroine in echoes of Beatrice.
Mr.. White Whittlesey affords Miss Mar
lowe very able support. The element of
low comedy is supplied by John G. Dixon.
who is combination of Sir Toby Belch
and Faistaff. and an excellent exponent
of this type of humor. Without Mr.. Dix
on $ spirited and unctuouS comedy, much
of the extraneOus material which binders
the plot would be hopelessly tedious.
Pie stage pictures are beautiful. Every
change of grouping against the magnifi-
cent scenic backgrounds has the effect of
an oil painting by a master. The per-
Torrance by Miss Marlowe is delightful
revelation of Self-willed vivacity in the
earlier scenes and of simple feminine ma
ture in the closing act 1t would be we'll
worth waiting through far less enter
tanning story Just to see her capituate at
last with a good. honest human boo hoo

New National.

Robert Edcson appeared in Glass
mates, by Margaret Turnbull and William
c. de Mile, at the New National Theater
last night, before large audience which
applauded enthusiastically and laughed
uations which relieve the intensity of
the plot. Mr.. Edeson plays Duncan Irv-
ing, one of natures noblemen," familiar
in fiction sprung from humble family, but
filed to the brim with native chivalry
He is about to leave West Point with his
commission when he breaks a solemn
promise made to girl by knocking down
and almost binding his rival young
man of family who has just entered the
Military Academy. This character. Bert
Stafford is played by Wallace Eddinger
whose blonde hair and childlike face
would seem to be insuperable handicaps
to interruptions villainy. but who gets by
with the part quite successfully After
Stafford is hit by the hero, all concerned
in the quarrel leave West Point and the
action adjourns to South America. where
the villain is lost in the jungle and the
hero and his classmates give up every
thing to seek him. The jungle scene is a
magnificent stage setting.
AS the curtain rose the scene was dark
but little by little the light increased, as
the dawn broke, until finally from the
back, came the effect of the rising sun
and then the villain, exhausted by his
wanderings, stumbled into the light. Here
the rescue expedition found him. and they
in turn were saved. a message promising
assistance being flashed to them by hello
graph. which glimmered it's dots and
dashes upon a cloth which the hero had
hung on tree. In the last act everything
was adjusted and the villain was cast into
outer darkness. to gnash the teeth which
had remained white even in the brushless
Jungle. The nlOt furnishes a number n
tense situations, of which Mr., Edeson
made the most. Comedy. and plenty of it
is supplied by Frank j. Mcintyre a stout
young man, who got a laugh every time
he tried, and was cleverly assisted by
Marjorie Wood. Flora Juliet BoWley
played the heroine, who caused all the
trouble by her credulity. Miss Bowley
has a pleasing presence and an UNI
masked battery of eyes, which she used
with almost fatal effect on both hero and
villain. The delivery of her lines is
marked with the mannerisms of draw
and gasping sigh which have been looked
upon as Crystal Herne's peculiar prop
erty. but they were more charming thar
otherwise. In her love scenes with Mr.
Edeson. which were chiefly pitched bat
ties. she rose to the occasion and sent the
hero to the right-about, until as in duty
bound. she surrendered Internationally ir
