IRVING PLACE THEATRE
"Pietro Caruso.

Mr.. Adolf Link the Meiningen comedian
who is playing a short engagement at the
Irving Place Theatre, appeared there last
night in a one-act drama by Roberto
Bracco, entitled ''Pietro Caruso" 1t is a
piece written with great restraint, but full
OF dramatic force and suggestiveness Mr..
Link takes the part of a down-at-the- heels
Neapoltan opera singer. a drunkard, al
most tramp in appearance. whose daugh-
ter has been betrayed by nobeman. The
latter says that he cannot marry the girl
chiefly because of the fathers lack of re-
spectabiity. and, smarting under that re-
proach. which he feels to be just, something
of his old pride and self-respect returns. and
after begging his daughters pardon for mis-
undutifulness TO her In the past and OBJ
tanning her forgiveness he goes out to re-
deem his honor and hers by shooting the
uobleman. Mr.. Links portrayal of the con-
trasts between caruso's shabbincss and
degradation and his reawakening as an in
iured father and as a man with sense of
honor still capable of being quickencd was
delicateIy shaded and highly effective
The house was crowded As a second
piece the popular French farce "Haben sic
NIGHTS zu Verzollen?" was repeated.
