Much to Francine's dismay Paul and
Adrienne fall really I'm love with each

merit OF the play is it's delicious irony

the Parisians.

COLONIAL THEATRE.
The Rev. Edwards Davis Presents The
Picture of Dorian Gray"

The Rev. Edwards Davis. who has tried
almost everything from preaching the Cos
pei to acting in vaudeville. presented az the
Colonial Theatre last night a superbly
mounted one-act play. dTamatized by him
self, from oscar wilde's The Picture OF
Dorian Gray"
There we're only three characters repre-
sented. the principal one of which was
played by Mr.. Davis himself-that Of Cyril
Vane. an actor. disguised as Lord Henry
V-OttOn. a pessimist. The part Of Dorian
Gray. "a novice who desires 10 know"
was taken by Miss Adele Blood. and the
role Of Basil Hallward. an artist and ideal
ist. was acted by Mr.. Templar SAKE.
The play was virtually a recital OF Wilde
epigrams. and when the author failed him
the resoureeful ex-clergyman inserted some
Of his own. like: a man may be happy
with any delightful woman so long as ne
doesn't fall In love with her; II could
never trust a woman who would tell her
age. for a woman who would tell her age
would tell anything: There Is no woman
too good 20 be true but there are many
good men who would like to be bad
The luxuriOusness Of the studio scene
almost took the breath away from the
Colonial audience. And II listened 20 the
rapid FIRE OF epigrams with establishment.
now and then laughing al a particularly
significant cynical remark. And when the
scene ended with a real kiss that differed
widely from the stage variety II was some
moments before the audience gathered it,
self together sufficiently 20 applaud. But
applaud IL did and with much enthusiasm
During the intermission those who took the
trouble TO read the bulletin boards in the
outer lobby found out that Miss Adele Blood
was Mrs Edwards Davis. and then they
understood more about the kiss.
The play tells the story of Dorian Gray
who falls in love with Cyril Vane. the
actor. They meet in the studio OF Basil
Hallward. where Vane is disguised as the
cynical Lord Henry wOtton. Vane deter
mines 10 find out IL Dorian really loves
him. So he gets a letter announcing his
death. When Dorian draws a dagger Vane
stays her hand and. removing his disguise,
reveals himself. and they fall I'm each 9TH
er's arms.
Mr.. Edwards gave a very credible por-
trayal OF the monOcled. blase and cynical
peer. And as the revealed Vane he was
strong and convincing much more so. in
fact. than Miss Blood and Templar SAKE
who are experienced actors. Mr.. SAKE,
however. had an insignificant part. But he
sang very acceptably "A song. Drink For
ever" which was composed by Mr.. Davis.

MISS GREssER's RECITAL.
Young ViOlinist, Unheralded, Makes
Favorable Impression.

Miss Emily Gresser. a girl sixteen years
old, gave a violin recital last night in
MendelssOhn Hall. Miss Gresser made her
appearance unheralded by an enthusiastic
press agent. She had been called neither
a child wonder nor an infant prodigy. She
played merely on her own merits, and, TO
Judge from the impression she made last
night. they are many. She proved herself
a violinist Of unusual ability and one Who
with greater years. will probably be heard
from.
Miss GresseT's technical equipment is re-
markable, and il was shown 10 excellent
advantage in COrelli-Tartinis Variations
on a GavOtte" Her tone was firm and
pure. her attack sure and her bOwing most
facile. Other Of her selections were by
Bach. Nardini Beethoven, Mozart and
Sacchini AS Miss Gresser grows in age
her playing will probably gain in depth OF
poetic insight But her playing last night
was always most enjoyable and was warm
~ applauded by an audience Of excellent
size.
