"IF | WERE KING" REVIVED
Sothern Gives Splendid Pro-
duction of Romantic Play.

T.. II. Sothern's splendid revival OF JUS
tin HunJly McCarthy's romantic play IF
! Were King Yesterday Afternoon at the
Manhattan opera House was one Of the
most refreshing theatrical productions Of
the new season. Mr. Sothern despite the
rumors of his recent throat affection
gave the lines of Francois Villon full
value and made the play Itself fairly
breathe romance 10 the typical matinee
audience that hung on his every word and
never met a sobby moment without sur
reptitious dab OF the handkerchief. The
King old Louis XI. was exccllently
PLAYED by George W. Wilson, who will be
remembered as the same character IN
tho original production years ago. Eliza
beth Valentine looked charming as Kath-
crime De Vaucelles. the noble lady VINO
marries the vagabond poet at the foot OF
the gibbet. and handled her role as
charmingly as she appeared. Helen
Singer PLAYED the Abbess and made the
death scene I'm tbe rose garden most al
fecting. The rest Of the cast, which is
large one. has been well selected ana
the play was deliberately and tastefully
staged.
Mr.. Sothern plans 10 give II ! Were
King" on every Wednesday afternoon
during his five weeks engagement at the
Manhattan, which should bs good news 10
all lovers OF romances.

: Swallowed"
New "Crook" Melodrama at
Fulton Theatre.
ONE OLD, LONELY THRILL
Play Lacks Action-Story
Told in Dialogue by Fa-
miliar Stage Types.
ONE OLD, LONELY THRILL

Roth the long arm Of coincidence and
the equally lengthy reach OF the law were
severely wrenched last night in the course
of the first performance Of Swallowed
4 new four-act melodrama by Dion Clay
ton Calthorp and Cosmo Gordon Lennox'
produced at the Fulton Theatre by James
Forbes. The authors have chosen for
their theme the already familiar story OF
a branded criminals revolt against the
never-ending bounding of the law and
its officers. Sarah Weston, alias Frisco
sal. is wanted BY an American detective
who has Swallowed her for six years for
a theft committed in San Francisco. In
London the scene of the Play. where she
has been trying 10 reform, she becomes
the stenographer of a lawyer working TO
obtain evidence against band or rake
bankers and promoters, zone of whose
members is a former pal Of hers. Under
threat Of exposure to the detective, who
has reached London in his hunt he forces
her TO spy upon her employer.
This much we learn by means OF TWO
long and talky acts. The girl, however
falls in love with the lawyer and refuses
TO give up the secrets of his investiSa-
ton. This brings the band OF crooks
about her ears and let's in the hrst bit OF
real melodrama in the whole play. AT
the end OF the third act she is confronted
with the choice between the death OF the
man she loves and his betrayal, but, OF
course, wins In the end. The crooks are
caught and. after a scene between the
LAWYER and the much Swallowed lady TYP
ist, all ends happily. The detective VINO
has given up six years Of his well paid
career to catch and imprison Frisco Sal. y
melts when he sees the couple together
and allows his iife's work TO depart in an
automobile for good and all
Eva Macdonald. who plays Frisco Sal
does as well as possible with her rather
tame role and very nearly succeeds IN
making the part convincing. Olive May
as Kitty Dale. her oldtime friend OF not
even doubtful private life, is JOY and
the one bright spot in the play. Her
slang and Chicagoese mannerisms are
delightfully."- done, and her lapses from
cynicism to sincerity very ably handled.
Wilson Melrose. as John Rand, the
Nghting lawyer. cuts a much better FIG
ure as a lawyer than he does as lover.
Frank Monroe does well as Trent the
Shadow. and behaves throughout as
good stage detective should. Caleb j.
Eden the crooked banker Of outward
piety and responsibility, was admirably
done by Ivan r. simpson, who played the
old man consistently in character
Swallowed" gives US nothing that IS
new. and justihes its classification as
melodrama for only a brief space in
maze Of talk and explanation.
