1.-THE Easiest Way"

Scarcely a play in years has been
so much discussed as "The Easiest
Way" in which David Belasco will
present Frances Starr at the Gennett
tomorrow. 1t has created an absolute
sensation wherever It has been seen.
and in New York at David Belasco's
theater 1t was played for over year.
Unusual in theme and depicting a
phase of life heretofore neglected to
a large degree by the American dra-
matist. "The Easiest Way" has been
hailed as the greatest American play
Of a decade. Successful as he was in
paid In Full" and "The Wolf" it is
in 1.-THE Easiest Way" that Eugene
Walter has reached his greatest
heights as dramatist.
1.-THE Easiest Way" depicts that as
pect OF New York life which is con-
cerned with the tragedy Of those wo-
men who are SO welded to luxury that
they will pay any price for its enjoy
ment. The theme Is handled in SO
serious and convincing manner that
the play becomes. as one eminent writ
er said. Better than sermon.
Eugene Walter has painted with a
strong brush q certain phase OF New
York life. and little is omitted in EN-.
phasizing the hollowness Of that life.
II Is a subject worthy OF a Sardou,
and 1t Is handled in a masterful man
ner. The intensely dramatic situa
lions are relieved by exceptionally
bright comedy incidents. While trag'
ic In part 1t is far from gloomy. In
view Of the fact that 'The Easiest
Way" is produced by David Belasco
there is little necessity to dwell upon
the perfection and artistry OF its set.
ting. The first act dicloses a scene OF
foothills Of the eastern slope Of the
Rocky mountains. radiant in the gold
en- light Of the afternoon sun. Widely
contrasting but none the less faithful
in the Photographic reality, is the sec.
ond act. showing a room In a typical
and this is followed by the superb
settings Of the third and fourth acts,
showing a drawing room in an apart
ment of an ultra-expensive New York
hotel.
Remarkable as the play is from
many points Of view. 'The Easiest
Way" is still more notable for the
manner in which 1t is acted. Frances
Starr, delightful as she was in 'The
Rose OF the Rancho" has risen to
igreater heights in THE Easiest Way,
and gives an Interpretation of the cen.
trail character of the play that has the
hall mark Of genius. While it is true
that "The Easiest Way" was the
dramatic sensation Of the decade in
New York. 1t is also true that in ii
