A hit, unmistalsable and instantan-
eous. was made by Helen Grayce &
Company at the Grand opera House
last night. The play was 1.-THE Pit"
dramatized by Claiming Pollock from
the late Frank Norris book. The play
itself has many crudities of construc-
tion-is melodramatic in spots and ap-
proaches broad farce in others, al
though the latter side is not so ap-
parent at first glance Despite its
nondescript character the play was
carried to triumphant success solely py
the players art. Mr.. Pollock must an
swer for the Inconsistency OF the last
situation wherein a husband does not
take notice Of the presence Of another
man in his wife's boudoir. The story
IS that of a business man who be-
comes so engrossed in speculation that
he neglects his home and a wife who
yearns for his love. He is a bear on
the market and when he becomes a
bull he plunges more out of revenge
than for good dealings. He loses and
becomes a bankrupt. Miss Grayce as
Laura Dearborn, the neglected wife,
seemed a new being last night She
was more impressive than I'm any pre-
vious play this week and received four
curtain calls after the third act. Rogers
Barker as Curtis Jadwin gave a fin
ished and an artistic impersonation to
this character. AS the cool, cautious
yet covert business man he was su-
perior, but as the bankrupt broker
the plunger-he was supreme In the
pit scene Mr.. Barker carried his aud
ience TO the pitch Of excitement. Ed
-
especially good j. Sydney Macy as
Dave Scannel added more laurels to
his crest. George p. Randall as George
ROLAND was satisfactory in his wooing
of Isabel. He also sustained his part
well in the pit scene. Mary Asquith
as Page Dearborn gave a delightful
reading and acting 10 this character.
Charlotte Downing as Isabel Gretry,
also won honors. The credit for the
marked success scored belongs partic-
urlarly to Miss Grayce. Mr.. Barker and
Mr.. Abbey. Tonight "The Christian"
is on for presentation.

depth Of feeling seems to impress it.

This is especially marked in the splen-

IFS an age OF specialization, IL is not
surprising that Mr.. Damrosch should
have made his greatest reputation as
an interpreter of Wagner. He has won
that reputation not only as an orches-
ira leader but through his lectures and
explanatory recitals on the Wagner
dramas. It is said that he might be
enjoying worldwide fame as a pianist
