NEW YORK, Dec. 18.--The chron-
illogical capers cut by Mrs. Fiske In
her new play, The High Road" are
startling TO degree.
You know Mrs. Fiske Is at least
well, anyway, she hasn't been an
ingenue for quite several years. In
this drama she is, supposedly, IL years
old in the first act BY means OF Il
dim stage and sunbonnet, she gets
away with II beautifully. She even
to give her matronly figure an aspect
OF girlish slenderness. Goodness
knows how she does It
Fine for Act l.
In Act ii. she is supposed to be 20.
Bright lights, Mrs. Fiske In loose,
unbecoming shirtwaist, black skirt, no
hat. Instead of looking three years
older than in Act l., she looks 80 years
older.
Then Act III. Eighteen years have
elapsed since Act ii. Therefore Mrs.
Fiske ought to look Is years older
than in Act ii. Happily, she does nor.
In a beautiful, closefitting gown and
picture hat, she looks at least 10
years younger than in Act ii.
Really. it's most confusing.

diately swears that the whole thing
