THE NATIONAL.
"Where the Trail Divides"

A drunken cow-puncher, with gun
in either glove-c!ad hand. holding at
bay a quartet of men while he demand
ed in angry and forceful language what
their business was, punctuating his re-
marks ever and anon with shots al the
scenery. and threatening every moment
to send one of them to a somewhat
warmer climate, gave Robert EdesOn,
playing the leading role in Where the
Trail Divides" an excellent opportunity
to stride majesticaly upon the stage OF
the National last evening as he made
the punCher quail with one glance from
his eyes and took his guns away from
him. the remainder of the OnloOkers gaz-
ing in rapt admiration and the audience
at the rear of the theater giving vent
to their feelings in vOCiferous manner.
OF course. one could not be Captious
enough even to think that 1t was be-
cause Mr.. Edeson is the author of
Where the Trail Divides that he has
provided himself with situations such as
the one at the close of the first act,
where he blocks the villains blow and
turns it into a handshake. or in the sec
ond act. where he cows a crowd of
angry drunken ruffians with a mere
threat to kill the first man who moves,
although he has the reputation of not
even carrying a gun.
Mr. Blossoms play opens with gun
shots, and fairly reeks of gunpOwder.
In the role of How LandOr. however.
he does some excellent work. His make
up. as always. is good; his accent, walk
and business effective. and he COntrived
to gain the sympathy of the audience to
such degree that the majority of them
left the playhouse wishing that the end
ing had been different, for. against the
rules of good. Old-fashOned melOdrama.
the villain was triumphant and the hero
went forth into the cold world friendless
and alone.
Eva Dennison, who will be remembered
as the sister in THE Chorus Lady," did
some effective work in the present piece
particularly in the last act George W
Barnum. Shep Camp. and John Prescott,
in minor roles. were acceptable, and the
stage setting for the final act came in
for its share of applause.

1t is admitted here that Bakers
charges are likely to hasten SEN
sational developments.
The federal authorities have
openly charged that strong poll
teal influences were at work to
prevent the connection between
John J. Mcnamara, the dynamit-
er, and coterie of local politi-
clans becoming known.
1t is said that these politicians
knew of McNamara's dynamiting
operations, and reaped a rich
financial harvest from protecting
him.
John J. Mcnamara has been
approached in San Quentin PEN
itentiary again, and urged to tell

he would be out of San Quentin
