with "A Woman of Impulse" and Meyer and Son." The play with an impulsive heroine separates one of its acts into two parts without change of setting. the curtain being lowered for a minute merely to denote lapse of few hours between a homicide and the coroner's inquest; and that divides spell of effectual melodrama from a denouement of ridicule
 An opera singer true to her hus- band Is asked by a libertine to be false; and he, repulsed would re- taliate upon her young sister It Is night in a maidenly pretty bedcham- satyr in a gentle fairy's dell. The maiden frightened and desperate. stabs him with a bodkin. Immediately the husband, mistaking the girl for his wife. deals the assaiIant a skull crushing blow. So she thinks 1t is her thrust that kills and he thinks it is his stroke. Then the wife, regarding | herself as the cause of the death. and desirous to save them from undeserved penalty, declares herself the slayer. It Is well-devised incident well acted with Kathryn Kidder as the impulsive wife.
 The author of "A Woman of Impulse" Is Louis Anspacher, husband of Kath- ryn Kidder. a college professor and
 
 tried hard to be both scholarly and popular in writing a play for his wifes return to the stage after years of ab- | sence. She prepared herself carefully for fine achievement, and although 1t Is long while ago that Frank Mayo put her forth in "Nordeck"-a tall slim young with such a glory of a. bundant hair that he had her fling 1t loose for admiration-she is as hand some woman and of course an abler actress. But the play is verbose. illog- ical and while the curtain Is down the audience has time to think that, the slain man being a criminal, no ape would be punished for the justiflable homicide. The second portion of the act is an Inquiry by a cornor loquaci- ous, and meant to be humorous but he fatigued the opening audience; and when. after he had slowly ascertained that the stab or the blew, was mortal, or both. there was a roar of laughter when he said: why need there be any scandal? will certify that death was caused by heart disease"
 Social separation of Jews and Chris tians is a difficult subject to broach in drama without offense one way or the other. and dangerously explosive | for an aggressive theme. Leah the Forsaken" is a play that won't wear out: but its story is a. love story. with a cruelty persecuted young Jewess for it's pitiful heroine. and 1t doesn't pre- sent the racial problem explicitly. A Jewish capitalists generous loyalty to his Christian fellow directors in saving a bank from disaster is the main thing in Men and Women" but that was the least prosperous of the Belasco-De Mile collaborations. Zangwill meant The Ghetto" to be a purposeful de- piction of modern Jews lives in the squalor of a big city but It's appeal for general attention was not responded to. I recall no other serious dramati- zation of pro and anti-Jewish feeling within my time-until this weeks first disclosure of Meyer and Son" which will be ephemeral. It has a merit however, of making Jews characters

The phalanxes of afmor- ed but otherwise undressed girls, an instantly denounced new sight, along with the first transformation scene even shown as the finishing spectacle of play. with a hundred uenuded girls hung up among it's shifting views gave notorious celebrity to the bold enterprise. The dancing Bonfanti and
 the posing Markham stood for con- ktrastingiy active and inert exponents of beauty: and a big boost was given
 by a clergyman thereafter known as Gin and Milk Smith. who preached A
 violently denunoiatory sermon, and then, encounterlng a newspaper re-

They change their costumes ten times, be- ginning with modish gowns that trail, passing through various aspects of graceful or comic garb, and climaxing with what-well. permit a Aggression to avoid literal description.

Nasi- moya's success is now well-known' TOT she rave to the role of the Doll-wife such illumination and originality of conception that it created sensation on Broadway. That the intelligent play-goers found it absorbing and in- teresting is perhaps best shown by the fact that "A Dolls House" re. mained at the Bi1ou for nearly haif the season.
 Other plays followed it. and then Nazimova dared fate again. This time she appeared in a comedy. the brillient "Comtesse< Coquette" by Brac- CO., Again she scored hit in spite or those who predicted that her identity with Ibsen precluded her success In anything else.
