AT BROADWAY THEATER.
"The Gamblers"

| On Wednesday evening there was a
/ fair audience at the Broadway theater
| when THE Gamblers" a four act play
| from the book of that name by Alicia
| Ramsey. was given all excellent pres
entation, it being one Of the first, as
the play is on the road previous to
going to New York. The audience was
also the company, manifesting 1t by
applause and several curtain calls after
each act, especially the third.
There is a girl in 1.-THE Gamblers"
who is the daughter of a man who has
been turned out of the British army
for cheating at cards. She has been
brought up among men, and when her
father finds that he is about to die he
sends for the relatives who have cast
him off to give them the girl. for he
wants her to have a chance IN life. The
relatives, a brother who is a priest and
sister who is an acidulous fool, take
the girl from Monte Carlo, where the
erring colonel dies, TO England, and she
is introduced into society there.
A young lord, who is an old friend
OF the girl, having been one of the
playing acquaintance of her late faith
er, lends her money and makes love to
her. He has a wife, though the mar
riags has not been made public be-
cause his marriage would mean large
monetary loss to him. and she gets
very jealous of the girl and tries to
ruin her by taking up a game of mark
ed cards on her. Of course at last the
girl is freed from suspicion and she
becomes engaged TO marry an estima-
bic young doctor, who proposed mar
riage in the Monte Carlo days. Incl
dentaly she makes a big hit with a
wealthy duchess who once was in love
with the colonel and who is as rich as
mud. The bad people all trot off the
stage and virtue triumphs.
Miss Mabel Cameron plays the part
of the girl about whom the whole story
revolves, and she does it well, looking
and acting the character in an inter-
esting nanr err She is sincere and lat
ural in her part, and plainly sets forth
the sprightly characteristics. Although
not seen until the third act, from then
on to the end the duchess, played by
Eva Vincent holds the center of the
stage. Her work as the crabid cranky,
loud and important old woman, who
has a fund of swear words and sharp
retorts which convulse the audierD%,
was Of a high order, a bit of comedy
work which enlivened the play won
derfully. She was certainly in a role
which she can handle perfectly.
Austin Webb was fine as Lord Rovle
Fitzholm, while the work of Ina Hau-
mer as Lady Norton showed her clever
ability. Ada Curry pleased as Fluffy,
while J. Malcom Dunn, Walter Con-
stantine and Albert Lache were well
cast.

Among the hundreds who recently
enjoyed the fine skating on the lake

initial experience with ice as a sfatine,

being a new experience for her. The

one of the most delightful conditions
for the sport, a moonlight evening, and
gave It as her verdict that there could
be nothing finer.
