BLANCHE W ALSH
SCORES TRIUMPH
e'ea' Ne ress and Great Play Hold
Id Sc Audience Speilbound
~ At the Auditorium.

blanche Walsh, ably supported
Scored an artistic triumph at the
auditorium Saturday night when she
appeared in Jules Eckert Goodman
sombre problem play, THE Test
From the beginning to the end OF
the performance the audience lived
again the sad story and moved VITA
the players through the scenes, while
here and there about the house at
times hand was raised to wipe
away furtive tear
1t was the story of loyal woman,
who gave all to save weak man,
and then. her sacrifice failure, ex-
plated in bitterest humiliation and
5iedation her fall from woman's ne
bic estate. A woman in her own
| mind triumphant. yet wise in thu
ways of the world and cognizant OF
the dual standard of morals the
world has set up, the one for the man
the other for the woman-willing to
make another great sacrifice for the
sake of the new and noble love that
had come into her heart. She had
been tested by the fire of bitter ex-
pierence, and in the last scene, as
the curtain slowly descended, a sigh
of relief went up, as the lover of
later years, emerged too from the test
and closed his arms about her.
The scene of this powerful play
Is laid in New York and the time is
today. 1t deals with the pitfalls
laid at the feet of beautiful women
in the lovely walks of life in the SIN
full metropolis and shows how the
william of high estate can go from one
debasing conquest to another, and
not lose caste and, without shame.

1.-The smart set"
There are many powerful passages
there is much of philosophy, there
Is much of unvarnished truth in "The
Test" 1t teaches a lesson and points
a moral. 1t voices the univer ,al cry
of woman's heart for the clinging
arms of little children. 1t proves,
as Miss Walsh said, that we are all
seeking the ignis ratuous, the gold
at the end of the rainbow and are
missing the radiance and the beauty
Of the skies. 1t deals with the great
social problem, yet deals with it in
so chaste way that none may be
offended.
1t is play of stirring changes
the complications of which demand
forcefulness of impersonation, a grace
of repression and a charm of speech
which only great actress could
meet. and none who heard Miss
Walsh can but admit that she met
every demand.
George w. Howard as Arthur
Thorne, viii D. Corbett as Richard
Tretman, C. Jay Williams as Herr
Bretner, Nicholas Judels as Morris

Thorne were adequate in their re-
spective roles and associated with a

Walsh would have won even a great.

ton yesterday.
The court will, today, privately con
slider the findings, which will be for
warded to Washington. Mrs. Sutton
said last night that if the findings de-
clare, as did those of the former in
quiry, that her son suicided, she will
carry the case further.
Attorney Davis, in his address, ar
gued that everything tended to mega.
tive the idea that Sutton committed
suicide, and said that the present in
quiry was the family's only course to
remove the suicide stigma. He de-
MED that the tragedy followed a
drunken brawl and blamed the offic-
erS, who acknowledged enmity to
ward Sutton for the fights preceding
his death. Davis asserted that parts
of Lieutenant Adams testimony were
pure inventions and that the testimony
of the other officers was conflicting
There excited, Davis declared, mani
fest conspiracy of suppression and
falsehood to help the living and black
en- the dead. The lawyer said his
function was not to point out the hand
that killed Sutton, but only to show
that he did not suicide.
Attorney Birnev addressing the
court, declared that the young lieu
tenants involved should be relieved
from all responsibility for Sutton's
death. He said that the charges were
based entirely on the frantic rawlings
of Sutton. Birney placed Sutton in
the attitude Of whipped coward, and
declared that he went to camp armed
with the deliberate purpose of doing
murder. He contrasted the grief Of
the mothers of other young lieutenants
with that of Mrs. Sutton.
Either, he insisted, Sutton delber
ately suicided, or killed himself while
trying to kill another. Major Leon
ard, the judge advocate, protested
against two points in Davis argument
and the inquiry then closed.
