interesting work. Its story introduces
John lie Baron, jr., whose father in
his day power in the street, has left
him a colossal fortune. LIE Baron falls
in love with Eleanor Hillary, who per-
suades him to enter upon a business
career. The young man does so, in

him strict ideas of honesty. He soon
! finds himself in a struggle with old
man Hillary, THE Ringmaster, for
the control of certain corporations.
Hillary adopts devious methods in his
fight, but finally is defeated, his daugh-
ter who had thought LIE Baron guilty
of the trickery really practiced by her
own father, forgiving him and pledging
herself in marriage to his conqueror.
One scene of the play transpires on
lie Baron's yacht, where wireless

development of the plays absorbingly

coPPEREIELD DRAMATIzEp

A new dramatization of Dickens
David Copperfleld," under the same
title, was given at the Girard theater
for the first time in Philadelphia last
week. The piece. which is in five acts
and seven scenes, shows unusual COM
pactness of plot for o story covering
so much ground and such a variety
of characters. Along with dovetailing
the principal events of the book skill
fully. the playwright has lent his work
additional interest in retaining all of
the chief personages and making them
more or less active in the dOings of
the stage. Peggotty, Micawber
Agnes and the rest who have made
themselves as familiar as household
words Were all given effective pre-
sentations.

BRIEF GLIMPSES
AT THE NEW PLAYS

mid -Channel--By Sir Arthur Wing
Pinero. This tragedy of a marriage
which husband and wife seem to have
tried desperately to make unhappy. is
being presented at the Empire theater
New York city. Miss Ethel Barrymore
is the star. The title is suggested by
the phase in married life, at which, 1t is
said, "hoWever agreeable you may be be-
fore and after. you are uncomfortable
and grumpy" Bad temper and Jealousy
are the twin factors of deyilment in this
drama and the outcome is the suicide of
the wife. Although the mid-ehannel
phase OF matrimony Is understood to be
obligatory according to the P!nero ritu-
al, 1t is not to be thought that he in
s!sts the denouement in all cases. 1t
is merely a warning.
"A Mans Man"-By Anna Steese
Richardson This is a drama about
New York lawyer who manages the
campaign of g multimill!onaire with two
great ambitions. One is to divorce the
wife who has helped him through the
days of his poverty and struggle In
order to marry a woman of social pres
tige. The other is to put through the
state legislature bill granting divorce
on the ground of incompatibllity of
temper. While the battles are jointly
waginE. the lawyer discovers that his
own wife is drifting out of his life. The
intended lesson is retributlVe justice but
the precise nature OF the denouement is
not explained in advance. Robert Ede-
son Is now starring in "A Mans Man.
The Heights'-By William Anthony
MCGUIRE. The plot of this play Is that
of The Easiest Way inverted. En-
vironment is transformed by the good
ness of woman says the Union of
New Haven where the premiere was
given. Frank keenan, impersonates the
leading character, cynical individual of
brutal instincts whose creed Is the
Rubaiyat Of Omar, privately Interpreted.
"The ScarecrOw"-By Percy Mackaye.
Henry B. Harris has chosen Edgar Sell
wyn for the stellar role in this "ludi-
crous tragedy" partly based on Haw-
thornes "Feathertop." The tltle-hero,
1t is hoped. Will bid US smile through
our tears and weep between filters. His
head is made Of a pumpkin, his heart Is
a red beet. his limbs pair of bellows,
his legs pair of fails, and in his mouth
he wears a corncob pipe which he must
keep perpetually alight or his life is as
truly forfeited as Antonlo's in the bond.
This creature is given birth by witch,
assisted by one Dickon, whom Mr.. Mack
aye describes as a Yankee timpersonation
of the imp of darkness Masquerading
as a lord, the scarecrow makes love and
when successful develops something
"al5!n to soul" But he knows that
Is Is only a scarecgow's soul, and not
mans" He must stlll play the ninny
with the corncob pipe or die. He breaks
his pipe, filings It aWay-and dies, but In
the act becomes a man for one brief and
fleeting second The allegory Is obvious.
II will take great acting to realize this
whimsical character on the stage. but
that is achieved, the very daring novelty
of the idea should carry it far.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-06

in the performance with their witty
sayings and their own songs and &C.
centric dances and Les Jundts are Eu-
ropean novelty equilibrists who should
also prove exceedingly entertaining.
The singing comedian, Ray Fern, and a
new selection of comedy motion pic
lures will complete a we'll diversified
vaudeville program.
OLYMPIC-Aboundin in situations
so farcical that to call them simply
humorous would be a slight, Double
Dutch" in which Alphin & Fargo pre-
sent Mendel and Williams and Blossom
Seeley will be presented next week at
the Olympic theater.
Double Dutch" from it's title does
not give any idea of the delightful
playlet it represents. The two Ger
mans, who have been spending VaCa-
tion at Coney Island, find it necessary
to tell the wife of one that they have
been on a sojourn in the mountains
with a. minister who is unaware of
where he was supposed to be. While
at Coney Island the Germans meet an
actress. who comes to visit them at
their homes and is presented as a friend
of the deacon From there ON the fun
becomes hilarious.
The scene changes to chop suey
taken the actress on q stunning party,
where they meet their wives.
Blossom Seeley will play the actress,
Laurel Atkins Blair the deluded wife
and Walter Spencer the deacon. Albert
Leonard and Hazel Baldwin and others
will be suitably cast.
The ten big singing and dancing nov
elites will include several surprises and
effects in costuming and staging that
are sure to please.
FISCHER 'S-For the week of Febru-
airy the popular Fischer stock compa-
ny will offer the uproariously funny
Celtic comedy, "Duffys Daughter
Kate" In this production Billy Ons-
low will be seen to excellent advantage
in the part of an Irish "Biddy." Max
Steinle has a fine comedy role as the
husband, a German brewer who mixes
his beer and his language. Billy How
ard will have the part of Jim Flynn,
not a pugilist, but an honest irish lad
who is willing to fight for the girl he
loves, Kate, played by Nan Halperin.
The piece has to do with their love af-
fair Jim is the son of an old enemy
of the brewer and his Irish spouse,
Kate's guardians, and is refused her
hand in marriage. In the end he tri-
umphs and everything winds up hap
ply New musical numbers will be
in which the Fischer cho-
rus will aid materially.

The Primary.

Denison Review: We disagree with
Roosevelt when he urges that any re-
publican is bound to abide the result
of such a primary Tin wisconsin,. 1t
is farce, burlesque upon party
government. In all states where the
primary prevails it is simply an in
formal ballot" for candidates, parti-
cipated in by men of all parties indis-
criminately
Lacey, not Cummins, would be the
senator from Iowa had none but re-
publicans voted at the primary, and
no one knows where La Toilette
would have been had he not swallow
ed the democracy of Wisconsin whole.
As a method of finding out the SEN
timent Of single political party the
primary is an absolute failure It is a
standing invitation to perjury and
self qualification. 1t gives opportunity
for minority party to dictate the af-
fairs of majority party. 1t may be
all right from the standpoint of the
independent voter, but there can be
no party solidarity, no harmony, no
hcmogeneity when the affairs of one
party are controlled by those who
have no interest in it save to destroy.
Had the Wisconsin republican pri-
mary been a party affair we would
have agreed with Roosevelt, but
when it is apparent that two-thirds
of the democrats of that state voted
the republican ballot the result ceases
to be binding.
