MAY REsCIND wARsH1P ACTION
Special Caucus Likely to Be Held
by Democrats.

Action of the democratic caucus last
night In voting to have no appropriation
this session for battleships was viewed
today by many members OF the House.
among them democrats who voted for
the elimination. as ill-advised. and there
is strong probability of special caucus
to consider the battieship appropriation
and to rescind the decision which was
coupled with the resolution to have no
public building BILL.
Representative Hobson of Alabama.
who opposed the amendment eliminating
battieship appropriations offered by his
colleague, Representative Burnett. has
declared he will petition for another
caucus.
Today several leaders who voted for
the amended resolution last night de-
clared that they did SO in order to go on
record against the building appropriation.
and that In all probability the party
would recommend an appropriation for
one battieship bat that q two-battleship
program would not be favored.
The naval affairs committee met today
to consider routine matters. and the action
of the caucus WAS informally discussed.
There II was pointed out that even IL
special caucus Ia not held on the subject
II requires q two.thirds vote to bind the
party in caucus. AS the vote against the
battieship appropriation, was nowhere
near two-thirds. no democrat Is bound TO
oppose the appropriation.

usual sympathy. and the appreciation OF
the audience was marked. at every OPP
portunity. Mrs. Wigs OF the Cabbage
Patch has already taken its place among
those sterling plays which are sure of q
kindly reception no matter how many
times nor in what part Of the earth they
are staged.
The personal characteristics of the
heroine OF Alice Hogan Rice's story,
qualities Of the heart which endear Mrs.
Wigs to book readers and .playgoers,
were made prominent in the presentation
Of the title role by Blanch Chapman. Miss
Chapman lost no opportunities to score a
success for role and play.
Mis- Hay was the role intrusted to
Minnie Milne. which she portrayed with
such skill as to keep the audience in a
continuous laughter throughout the per-
formance. Miss Lovey Mary was enacted
by Mae II. Botti. who won her way into
the hearts of those present with her
amiability, while Harold Grau, as Billy
Wigs, and Thomas Akin, as Mr. Stub
bins, were excellent additions to the cast.
The performance as whole is an un-
usually good one.

a polygon Of SO many sides and angles
that the attempt to accurately measure
them all is futile.
The palliation of the original fault is
taken for granted, and the assumption
that the Ileroine's present attachment is
permanent rests entirely on her own
eloquent protestations and on the chiv-
airy Of the playwright. The husband, who
is a rather matter-of-fact person. has
his positive opinions. though the play
wright forces him into an attitude OF pos
sible reconciliation IN order to avert a
most distressing suicide at the close of
the final act.
Miss Ware contributes to the leading
role. that Of the wife, the style of emo
tionalism that is peculiarly her own; SIM
pie, unaffected and convincing. She rep
resents the type OF womanhood whose
lot in life is the struggle with the world
apart from the luxurfes and the protec-
tions of wealth. The preservation of her
ideals is so hindered by circumstances

full, but not mawkish. When she weeps

adornment and makes her earnest ap-
peal on straightforward lines Of simple

The role Of Mrs. Dole. the unrelenting
nemesis, who invaded the home, armed
with diary. is played with an exacti-
tude to nature that is almost terrifying
She is the sort of woman we all know
exists. but whom we pray without ceas-
ing we may never meet. Miss Jessie
Ralph. in playing it. sets down naught
in extenuation, but makes her the I'M
compromising creature who, without be-
ing vicious, heSftateS at no sacrifice OF
sympathy or sentiment. Warner GLAND
is good in the role OF the artist. STAN
nard Dole, who appears only in the first
act and Harrison Hunter, as the hus-
band. plays an exacting role in satis-
flying manner.

Columbia.

There is one gladdening thought to be
recorded in connection with the situa-
ton SO poignantly presented In THE
Price," the latest starring vehicle Of Miss
Helen Ware. 1t is not likely to happen
often. The pivot Of plot interest is =
melodramatic device so far out Of ordi
nary event that the morose complications
to which it leads may be hopefully re-
garded as confined to this particular
drama and not as a general threat to
human experience.
The direful scenes Of jealousy and de-
spair arise from the fact that an artist
keeps q diary in which he records the
progress Of his affect.onate relations
thoughtlessly drifted into an affinity re-
lationship with him and then discovered
that she loved another man. The
artist dies at the conclusion of the first
act, and his wife. who Is a fine house
keeper, but harridan, takes possession
Of the diary. She confronts the heroine
with It, after she has established herself

a favorite with the audiences. Her chief
contribution is a novelty entitled lie

a variety of talents. Ruby Leoni Is an
other performer who secures a liberal
share of applause. A. number Of come

expected in a Gayety program, and the

cialties. among them being a very re-

seen to advantage, and Williams and
Brooks contribute an entertaining sing
ing and dancing number The chorus is
attractively in evidence.
