REVOLUTION PLAY
AT THE ALCAzAR
"Alice of Old Vincennes" Will
Be BeIascO's Offering
This Week

Edward E. Roses drama tization of
Maurice Thompson's famous novel of
revolutionary times. Alice of Old Vim
cennes." will be the Alcazar's offering
for the coming week, beginning tomor-
row night. The play was last presented
at the old Alcazar about six years ago,
and its success at that time inspires
the mana cement with the confidence
that it should be popular now. NUmer-
Gus requests for its revival have been
received. and the production now Of
fered is the result.
Like many plays adapted from nov
els. Alice of Old Vincennes" is better
in its staged form than between covers.
The period in which the scenes of
the plot are placed is 177S, and the
action takes place in Vincennes. Ind,
which was at the time with which the
story deals the strategic center of the
struggle between the British and the
revolutionary forces.
Alice Rousillon, the heroine, is a
daughter of French-AmeTican parents
who own and manage the Rousillon
house. and the play is largely made up
of her adventures in love and war. Her
chosen sweetheart is John Fitzhugh
Beverly, a revolutionary spy. and his
rival for her hand is Colonel Hamilton,
commanding the British troops at Fort
Sackvi1le. Throughout four intensely
thrilling acts the young woman is kept
very busy protecting her swain from
the machina tions of his enemy, her
mingled love and patriotism going
so far as TO impel her to engage in a
sword combat with the colonel who, of
course, is worsted at his own game.
But the play breathes poetry and
romance rs well as intrigue and war
fare Alice is the kind of girl whose
charms any man of intellect would find
il difficult to resist for she has brains
as we'll as bravery. In this role Evelyn
Vaughan will be seen at her very best,
for in some respects it is akin to that
of Mistress Kitty Bellairs. John Ince
will play Beverly, and VIII r. Walling
his red coated rival, and the remainder
of the Alcazar favorites are fittingly
bestowed in the cast, which is an ex-
ceptionally long one.
Elaborate staging is promised.

CHINESE PREPARE
TO GAMBLE OPENLY
Bustling in Oriental Quarter
Greets Decree That Legal
Games May Run
Force of Policemen in District
Will Be Reduced by New
Department Head

With the ban against Chinese gamb-
ling lifted by order of the mayor and
the new chief of police, there was
some activity yesterday in Chinatown.
The blinds did not come down from
the windows of the old gambling clubs,
nor were any of the games started, but
there was a general hustle of prepara-
tion. The Chinese are joyously pre-
pairing for a resumption of such free
dom in gaming as they have not known
since the beginning of the administra-
tion of Jesse B. Cook as chief of police.
Thus far the orders of the Chinatown
squad to suppress gambling i'm all
forms and wherever found have not
been changed Chief Martin, however.
expressed himself yesterday as being
in favor of curtaiIing the number of
uniformed and plain clothes men as
signed to the Chinatown district, and
it is probable that with the reduction
in the size of the force the gambling
will begin. At present there are Il
detectives on the Chinatown squad, IN
addition to the uniformed policemen IN
the section.
Regarless of stipuIations expressed
DN the mayor anu CIlSL do ~ ti'S -
tent to which gambling will be permit
ted the Chinese have taken the pub
Iished statements of these officials as
sanction for practically open gambling
and the games will soon be in full
blast. Chief Martin and Captain Duke,
in charge of the Chinatown district,
have echoed the sentiments expressed
by the mayor, which are in substance
to the effect that the Chinese may
gamble as much as they see fit $50
long as they keep within the law
Chief Martin said yesterday that
open and notorious gambling would not
be permitted. but that he saw no OBJ
lection to the Chinese playing poker or
dominoes in their own clubs and that
he did not propose to break down any
doors to see if the law was being vio-
lated The chief also declared against
throwing a large number of uniformed
men into the district to guard against
tong war shootings. The bloodshed
could not be stopped in any event If
the tongs wanted to war, he said, and
the policemen were needed in other
parts of the city.
Captain Duke, in charge of the dis
trict, asserted that he was in sympathy
with the views of the mayor and chief
and would work in harmony with them
in every way.
I'VE will do everything we can in a
bling" he said However, there is a
difference between legal and Illegal
gambling, and we can not molest the
former. In fact, l believe we have gone
further during the last administration
than we had a legal right to do. and it
is a surprise to me that we haven't
been sued before now.
