The mental, moral and physical

of the suffragist and the anti-suffra-

mind that any Intelligent man will
prefer the former.
A man, if he is worthy of the name,
Is intensely interested in the present
day problems that come within the
sphere Of politics, such as the tariff.

EXTREMELY REALISTIC
Acting Is Good and Mr.. Greene
Makes Most Agree

BY MRS. JESSIE ". JONES.
Suffrage Edition stan.

At the Newark this week is a SEN
sational and somewhat thrilling play,
THE Greyhound" Ii is 30 named
because the last four acts take place
on a splendid ocean greyhound
This affords attractive scenic effects
and adds much to the production.
The view of midocean is very realistic.
II the plot were as good as the set
ting there would be a different tale
to tell.
The story deals with a conspiracy
of four very devilish crooks. They
take passage on this steamer in order
TO separate easy but very rich pas
sengers from their money through
confidence tricks. A detective, the
hero, foils everything. His interest
in the affair liz due to the true love
he bears for his old sweetheart, who
is the wife of one of the confidence
men. The plot is considerably re,
lieved by many instances of wit and
humor and funny circumstances.
Gang Forms N~efnrious Plot.
A lodging-house in San Francisco
is the scene of the first act. Here
several plots are formed by a gang,
one of them to start East, book
passage on the Mauretania and
trim the gullible passengers who
have more money than brains.
Several foul deeds are attempted
before the trip to the East. One of
them is the attempt of Louie Fell
man, alias 1.-THE Greyhound TO
poison his wife.
The financial standing. Of the pas
senger list is obtained from the Blue
Book. and then the accomplish, Kitty
Doyle, alias Deep Sea Kitty" alias
Baroness Won Hide gets an OPP
portunity to play her part.
Third Act Especially Interesting.
The third act is particularly well
filed with interest and comedy. The
scene is the smoking-room, where
1.-THE Greyhound" and his gang try TO
"break" Bob Kirk, a struggling young
architect, in love with the wealthy
Bess Allen. Here is where MeCherry,
the reformed crook, uses his knowl-
edge Of the poker game to assist the
lover. and the tables are
turned on the other sharks.
Elita Proctor Otis as Kitty Doyle
carried off the honors Walter d.
Greene as The Greyhound made a
most agreeable" crook. The main
part OF the comedy was well taken
care of by Thomas Coffin Cooke In
the role of McCherry.
The acting is creditably dom How
ever. taken as a whole The Grey
hound" is commonplace. The des-
perado atmosphere o~verbalances
whatever good influence there is ano
one is left with an unpleasant, shiv-
cry sensation.
