pressed itself on me when acted by
Ralph Delmore and Wallace Eddinger.
Delmore is the square-jawed, CRATER

Tuffians these many years. 1t doesn't
seem long ago that Eddinger was the
yellow haired lad in Little Lord
FauntierOy'' and THE Girl ] Left Be
hind Me" He still is blondely boyish.
Delmore personates a police captain
who believes that the young prohigate,
embodied by Eddinger. murdered the
fellow who killed himself. The room
is dark except for single lamp hang
ing over a desk, at which the policeman
sits and the prisoner stands. The man
is loud. asssrtive. mandatory, british.
The boy is weak scared. fuddled by
drink and exhausted by hours of 'the
third degree" ordeal. Klein endows the
strong man with hypnotic power and
makes the boy q naturally submissive
subject. Scientists in their demonstra-
tons of hyn0tism always make their
subjective person look steadily at some
bright object.
You quarreled with your friend over
his refusal to give you money" says
ne captain, and you shot him with
this pistol.
All night long such questions have
been answered with denisls: but now
the boy IS nervOusly Frustrated while
the man is as strenuous as ever: and
the inquisitor lifts the pistol that has
been used by the self-murderer so that
the CLINT of the gaslight reflects from
its polished metal into the eyes of the
yielding prisoner. The man doesn't
know that he is q hypnotist: he attri-
butes his success in obtaining confess
sions TO his persistent common sense:
but the audience is aware that his tele-
pathic gift. aided at the crucial in
slant by the pistols bright spots in
fiue1ce or the submissive boy, causes
a false confession.
Il Quarreied with my friend over his
refusal to give me money" he repeats

So he saves the accused one by bring

fellow to another mans wife asserting
his determination to take his own life.
That lets the play toboggan down from

level Nevertheless, there is a skilled
and measurably effectual effort to keep
the action above a disastrous slump.
That is done with two finely drawn
characters, the mill girl whom the
