Academy.

A prosecuting attorney who finds himself
obliged to try to send to the gallows the
girl with whom he is in love furnishes the
central theme for Vaughan Glaser's pro-
duction of "At the. Mercy of Tiberius,' -
at the New Academy this week. OF
course. like the majority of pleasing meIo-
dramas. the girl is saved from execution
at the last moment In this play the
same stroke of lightning which killed Gen.
Luke Darlington made a weird photo
graph of the entire death scene on WIN
dow pane. and when that is produced at
the end the prosecuting attorney finds
himself exonerated from all obligatio to
prosecute for the death of the old gen.
eral. A notable feature of the perform
ance is the acting of Edmund Roberts,
who plays Berthe Brentano, a STRIPPING of
twenty-one. brother of Beryl Brentano,
heroine, played by Eleanor Montell. nr.
Roberts has a highly emotional part, but
does not tear 1t to shreds. preferring an
appeal to his audience by good acting The
stroke of lightning which kills the general
in that scene is splendid bit of scenic
effect 1t crackies and sizzles outside be-
fore 1t enters the window and lays both
man and boy low.
A third degree scene is particularly eff
fective. Especially good are the charac-
ter parts of Louis Thiel as Judge Dent,
and Lawrence Atkinson as Gen. Luke
Darlington. Eleanor Montelfs acting is
an essential and praiseworthy factor, In
the production.

New National.

And now is the winter Of Ibsen's tragic
morbidity made glorious summer by
Percy MacKaye's mirthful satire. The
influenza Of Rebecca West and Rosmer
has yielded to the toxine OF conventional
common sense. The ghosts Of Mrs. Al
wing and Oswald are unmasked to show
forth al joy-loving mOther-in-law In the
flesh. Ibsen's problem tragedies are made
charades, with hot chocolate for all after
the guessing is over.
Anti Matrimony,' presenting such
transformations on the stage of the Ma
tional Theater last night, was announced
to be "satirical burlesque." Some who
were familiar with its plot promised 1t
as satire of divorce" Many OF those
who saw 1t at the National Theater last
evening labeled 1t "burlesque of Ibsen.' -
The mill-race of Rosmersholm, the child
wife Nora's costume in 'The Doll s
House." the tragic revolver shot of Hedda
Gabler--none of these escapes the satire
Of the lines or of the situations In Anti
Matrimony." In fact, they afford the
laughs of Percy MacKaye's latest pro-
duction. The symbolic, mystic taran-
tella'' dance is transformed into Merry
Widow waltz to the tune OF q graphic
phone; the revolver with its bullet that
proved fatal to Hedda is now loaded only
with blank cartridges, and the mili-race
fatal embrace is made unapproachable by
mud, and it chiefly impresses the need
for the adoption Of reclamation methods.
Those who have resented lbsen found
in .Anti-M atrimony" demonstration OF
their own feelings toward him, and will
revel In it as Ibsen made ridiculous.
Those who have found inspiration In the
Norwegian poets tragic situations may
have found some enjoyment in the fun
poked at the serious-minded personalities
Of Ibsen's fancy.
BY q confidential circular inserted in the
program members of the audience were
informed that Mr.. Mckay wrote Anti
Matrimony' to make you laugh. and the
place to laugh is just wherever you see
At and proper" and that Miss Cros-
man is here to amuse YOU. OF course,
that cannot be reflection on the art
OF the play wright or the players in push
ing the intended spirit Of the play over
the footlighfs.

Had the theatergoer who turns con-
temptuously from a play because he has
seen it before broken his rule and sat
through 1.-THE Old Homestead at the
Columbia Theater last evening watching
the audience, from those with bent forms
and white hair in the front row to the
younger element which extended well
toward the last, he would have been
forced to admit that there are excep-
tions." Old and trite as may be the
pathetic situations and the comedy of
1.-THE Old Homestead there is a host
among those whose eyes are dimming with
age and many more upon whose Shout
ders the years sit lightly for whom this
rustic romance has fascination. Such an
audience filled the Columbia Theater last
evening, and it was the happier in being
able to see the. familiar play again with
Denman Thompson, who first made it IA
nous, in his old role Of Joshua Whitcomb.
The character stands in the annals of
the theater as imperishable as Rip Van
Wrinkle. And the Denman Thompson of
today is the same Joshua Whitcomb he
was a quarter of century ago, except
that now he needs less of the makeup
of age, although he seems to lack none
Of the old-time vigor called for in certain
scenes Of the play.
The story of the play has deep heart
interest, lightened by quaint comedy and
old-fa shioned characters whose natural
simplicity is amusing in itself alone. 1t is
clean. wholesome and lovable throughout.
Supporting Mr.. Thompson are many of
those who appeared with him in the
early days of the play. The quartet has
grown into an octet. and for the Grace
Church scene a mixed choir of merit sup
plies the vocal music. Walter F. Kelly
is the Cy Prime; Charles H. Clarke, the
Seth Perkins; Fred Clare, the Happy
Jack Hazard: Earl Redding, the Eb Gan
zey;. George L. Patch, the Reuben Whit
comb; Maggie Breyer, the Aunt Matilda
Anita I. Fowler, the Rickety Ann; Mar
garet Boustead, the Anna Maria Muir
dock, and Ruth Mills. the Eleanor STRAIT

tive.
