THE ACADEMY.
"Thr CInnrmnn.r

The Clansman." the Rev Thomas
Dixon's great race play, which he wrote
from his two famous books. "The Loop
ards Spots and The CIansman," was
presented to a large audience at the
Academy last night for the first time at
popular prices
The play is an interesting one because
1t is story of conditions which existed
during the period of our history follow
ing the civil war. and from the way IL
was greeted last evening II is evident
that there are many people who do not
object TO the stirring up Of memories.
The cast, which is an exceedingly long
one, is above par for a popular priced
theater, and the acting. especially Of the
feminine members, is finished and well
executed.
Arthur DE Voy, who plays the part of
Ben Cameron, the Clansman. and Evelin
Faber, as Elsie Stoneman. were pleasing
throughout, and especially in the scenes
which called for emotional acting, while

MAE WOOD ILL IN WEST.
Defendant Unable To Be Present in
Perjury and Forgery Case.

New York. Nov. l5.-The case OF Mae
c. Wood. whose trial on a charge OF
perjury and forgery is pending, came
I'D again on the general session calendar
today before Judge Swami Assistant
District Attorney Garvan asked that the
case be stricken from the calendar and
Justice Swami consented. The case was
called last week through q misunder-
standing. and Charles HubbelL the de-
PENDANTS counsel. then told the court
that Miss Wood was i'll on ranch in
Colorado.
Miss Wood is out on bail furnished by
2 surety company. The indictment is
based on a letter she said ex-senator
plat wrote in the Fifth Avenue Hotel in
November. 1906. showing that she was
his wife. The signature to the letter Was
disowned by the Senator and pronounced
a forgery.
1t is more than probable that the case
VIII not come 70 trial. It viii surely
not come to trial during Mr.. Jerome's
term. and It was generally understood to-
dav about the court building that an ap-
plication TO have the indictment dismissed
would be made at the beginning OF the
year.

ing society queen and her beautiful
daughter.
Elsie is played by Carlotta Nillson. out
Of respect for Miss Wilson's really great
art, the impulse TO mention the great
actress, whose method she closely fol-
lows is suppressed. She has advanced
far enough now to be able to stand alone
as an exponent OF the school Of natural
ness and repression. The final scene Of
confession to her husband is a splendid
piece Of acting. All through the play she
led up TO this grand climax of emotion,
and then played with admirable self
restraint. She played upon her audiences
heart strings 10 far greater effect than
if she had made the situation one Of heroic
self-debasement and bonbastlc renuncia-
ton. Miss Nilsson is best described an
actor Of delicate emotions. No shade of
meaning seems too fine. no expressions too
subtle. for her to give them full force.
Her moments OF silence are wonderful
and her face a study always.
Mr.. Byron played as he always does

the last act of all Conway Tearle, as
Lloyd Allen, realized the type OF man he
was supposed to be. and accordingly
hade him as sagreeable as he could.
II is difficult for the actor Of a de-
spisable role 20 win praise, but Mr..
Tearle must be given credit for con-
scientiOus enactment The scene In which
he almost wins back his wife was well
done. but during Miss Wilson's cOnfes-
sion scene he might as well have been
made of wood, so little interest did he
appear TO take in the announcement that
robbed him of his newest castle in the
air
Miss Eugenia Blair was refreshing as
Mrs. Spencer Hastings, and her lines were
all smart and rich in effect. The whole
cast was excellent. and was composed
OF Janet Waldorf. who was delicious as
the meddling sister; Frank Monroe as
the practical brother-in-law, and Dudley
Hawley as the absurd brother Josephine
