was on four tiny wheels And on the end
of the board toward which the lamb

SUBWAY CONTRACTS READY
Wilcox Answers Criticism for
DELAY in Advertising.

Chairman William r. WILCOX of the Pub
tic Service Commission yesterday replied 10
the criticism Of the commission for the
delay in advertising the contracts for the
new subway routes. He said:
The plans, specifications and forms of
contract for the tri-borough system of sub
ways have been completed for three or four
weeks and ready for advertising, so Ear
as the commission is concerned As soon
as the Corporation Counsel has approved
the form of contract, as required by law,
bids will be asked upon these contracts
Mr. Wilcox added that the routes had
been approved by the Board of Estimate
and Apportionu1ent and the work OF pre-
pairing plans and specifications had been
going on for many months. There are in
the system now planned. he pointed out. 1S5
miles or railroad track. 44-2 miles OF
miles of railroad track. OF AZ miles of
road, while the present system has S12
miles of track. or about 25-6 miles of road
While the old Rapid Transit Commission
had laid out some routes, important
changes, said the chairman. had been made
by the present commission to straighten out
the road Besides, a wide detour was ne
Cessitated in the Brooklyn line. if inde-
pendent operation was to be secured. as
the lower tracks on the present system
could be claimed by the InterbOrOUgh Un-
der its contract with the city
Mr. Wilcox also makes the point that
while the old commission laid out some
routes. it did not prepare any plan. and
that the greatest care had 10 be used in
working out these plans. as single trifing
mistake might result in a skyscraper col
lapsing.

THE DRAMA
Wallace Eddinger in Bobby
Burnt" at Republic Theatre.

George Randolph ChurchilIs Bobby
Burnt" was visualized last night at the
Republic Theatre by Wallace Eddinger in
Winchell Smiths comedy of the same name.
THE Making OF Bobby Burnt was not
the making of Mr. EddInger. for he has
already made for himself an enviable repu-
tation, but it did add greatly to the laurels
which he has won.
The hero is the young son of the late
Silas Burnt. formerly the proprietor of
a large department store, which, together
with $4,000. he bequeaths to his son Rob
ert. Robert up TO the time Of his fathers
death lived a happy-go-lucky life OF lux
ury and extravaganza. He begins the
career of a merchant by ordering three
business suits and having the office re-
decorated. He learns business code from
an illiterate proprietor of q gymnasium
and becomes the victim of ''fnanclers'
who rob him of his business and his fort
une. By dint of hard work, much deter
mination and good luck, however, ne re-
covers all that he lost and wins the re-
spect and love of his fancee, whose 1alth
in him had begun to weaken. Incidentally
he comes into possession of another 1orI-
une. which his father had left In trust IN
charge OF Agnes Ellston, Bobby's sweet
heart.
The play is in four acts. It takes fast
hold of the attention and retains 1t 10 the
end. 1t is marked by successful ci1naxeS
at the end of each act. with the strongest
situation at the close of the third act IL
is serious drama for the most part, WITH
comedy furnished principally by one char-
acter-Henry B. Bates, an illiterate gym
nsstic instructor and friend of BOBBY
There is one scene that is melodrarna for
one character and farce for the others
and the audience
Mr.. Eddinger's acting was sincere ana
strong. His utterance was swift and clear
He is refreshingly free from stage man
nerisms and is absorbed in his part. He
was received with such d show of approval
as would fatter many an older and more
experienced actor. John Webster, as Henry
Bates, the gymnastic instructor, was very
much of a success His character was con-
ventional. but he impaired a sense of orisf-
nality in speaking his slangy and witty
lines that altogether won his audience. He
brought out the spirit of loyal friendship
ard sympathy IN truthful fashion
Miss Ethel Clayton is deserving of praise
for her creditabe impersOnation of Agnes
Elliston. She learned her part in one night
and acted it the next day, when the play
was first presented out of town Last night
was the third time that she appeared in the
piece. She has certain harshness of voice,
which may be overcome with proper train
ing. She is charming III appearance and
pleasing in manner. She is good listener
and speaks her lines naturally.
George a. Wright was successful Daniel
Johnson, a pessimistc clerk; Thomas Find
lay was capital Sam Stone, a corrupt
politician and business trickster; Ruth
Rose an attractive stenographer. and John
D. OHara a realistic Silas Trimmer, who
engineered the consolidation and absorp-
ton of Bobby's store.
