1.-THE Talker," With lis Tense
Dramatic Interest, Grips
Shubert Audience.
MARIAN FAIRFAX'S PLAY
SHOWS PERIL OF UNREST
Affords FULLY Marshall, Au-
thor's Husband, Opportunity
for Great Histrionic Skill.

Tuily Marshall presented "The
Iaiker' last night at the Schubert
Theatre to house crowded and
deeply appreciative of the excellence
or fhis drama. or comedy. as its bril-
liant and beautiful little author de-
slres that 1t should be called. 1t will
run throughout the week.
Miss Marian Fairfax. who wrote
inc Tallier," is the wife of Mr.
Marshall, and the play is her third
success. Its long presentation in
New York was sufficient proof that it
appealed to the heart OF humanity
and especially to women. The sub
1ect, the coming back" of fallen
creature, led astray through the adj
vanced and ''unclean'. views Of her
sister-in-law has been too thorough
~ discussed to require further
analysis here.
Doesn't Want 1t TO BE Sermon.
Miss Fairfax says she does not
mean that the play should be a SER
mon. Nevertheless, it is, and very
powerful one. AS one observed the
faces of the women in the audience
there was apparent in more than one
countenance an expression Of deep
sympathy, or of grave concern, as
the lessons of the plot were unfold
ed very worthily on the stage. They
saw a woman playing with fire,
struggling for a false domestic free
dom, pushing her own best instincts
and at last drawing her loved sister
into the perdition which the veil of
her own vanity hid from her. At
last she awakes, and with her whole
heart she strives to recall to her
home the one for whose ruin she is
responsible. The effect is powerful
and the play is logical
Tt Is Life Presented Audaciously.
1t is, indeed. life, presented with
an audacity and intuitive feminine
insight that shows the keenest obser-
walton. Miss Fairfax disclaims the
idea that she wrote the play for her
husband, but his role shows the soft
er side of his character and makes
him most attractive. He is wanting
in the polish that is the final and
lasting stamp of the great actor, but
there is an appeal in his personality
that makes one love to look at him.
In "The Talker' he has an oppor-
Runity for powerful acting, and he
does not fail. His restraint and his
tense emotion as he receives his
fallen sister is worthy of the highest
praise.
Kate Lenox, his wife, part created
by Miss Ida Conquest, is now as
sumed by Miss Eva Mcdonald. Her
merit is her womanliness, clearly
shown when he truer nature asserts
itself. She is very pleasant to look
at and is guilty of no affectation.
Miss Mary Mallen in the difficult
role of Ruth Lenox succeeds as well
as could be expected of any one not
a French woman. Miss Vida Croly
Sidney as Jessie Smith, the wife of
the neighbor of Harry Lenox, acts
with intelligence, and Jean Newton
as Maud FEELS. the neighbours daugh-
ter, Is bright and attractive.

"POMANDER WALK" AT
oRPHEUM, ADMIRABLE

''Pomdnder Walk" a clever Eng
lish comedy. filled with human inter
est and sparkling humor, is on the
boards at the Orpfeum Theatre this
week. The play is from the pen Of
Louis N. Parker, and dates back to
the early part Of the nineteenth cen.
fury.
A spirit of exuberance is awak-
ened by the play that is not unlike
an excursion into the blossoming
fields overrun with clover and
timothy. 1t refreshes one and recalls
memories that are dear and sacred.
The beautiful scenes and the simple
folk in the play live on in memory
every ready to be recalled from the
soothing effect upon the world tired
soul.
Some remarkable effects have been
secured by what seems almost magi-
cal touches. The setting of the play
is so arranged as to make more en-
phatic the feeling Of neighborliness
and common interest on which the
play is based.
Pomander Walk is a row of Houses
each with its little strip of walk
and making up community that is
bound together like the Three
Muskateers," "all for one and one for
ALL" Everyone's interest is his neigh
boris, and each works tremendously
to protect the general welfare of ths
walk"
Jerome Brooke oskyn is the cock
of the walk" He is a former butler
married to a former cook, but no one
knows that. He wears satins and
silks, eats dinner in town once a
week, and holds his wife's hand when
she's ILL., The walk respects him
highly.
The fun revolves around Admiral
Sir Peter Antrobus, retired English
naval officer, who tries to be pep
perry, but his good nature always wins
out.
A pretty little love story runs
through the play which later develops
SO that almost every character is en-
veloped by cupid, and the curtain
goes down with six couples mated
and pledged to live happily ever
afterward.
Specifically true to nature are the
muffin man." the lamp lighter AMI
the "eyesore" These characters are
more a part of the setting than Of
the. cast and add greatly to the locale
of the story.
All the oldtime Dayton favorites are
seen in the cast, as well as several
new faces. eighteen characters being
required to interpret the play.

mother, and, at the suggestion of his
Wife, decides, instead, to kill Tso, the
Second Wife's maid, who is sort OF
witch, responsible for the magical
influences that have brought on all
the misunderstanding and resultant
troubles.
Death of the Enchaniress.
He does kill her, and this is how:
He approaches her with drawn sword.
and the Property Man. lighting a
fresh cigarette, holds what looks like
an auctioneer's nag in front of her
face. The next instant a savage blow
with the sword is directed at the
maids neck and the Property Man
hurls to the floor a round, cloth
covered object, which, the executioner
declares. is the victims head.
1t is, of course, flattering to the
audience to have enough imagination
imputed to it to consider the maid
dead, although, when the Property
Man removes the flag. she turns and
walks away with her head still in
tact on her shoulders.
The parting scene betweenChee Moo
and her baby boy really is touching.
Saxone Morland depicts the broken
hearted mother admirably: and when,
in obedience to a god who appears in
a balcony which represents Heaven,
she writes in her own blood the in
fant's name and ancestry upon his
clothes, and then dies and mounts a
ladder into Heaven. the spectators
sympathy actually goes out to her,
for the fervor and pathos of her act
ing are so intense and realistic as to
overcome even the handicap of the
grotesquely absurd wooden baby, bal
cony-like Heaven and green bearded
god.
Baby Becomes a Hero.
Lee Sin and his wife adopt the
baby, which grows up to be the hero
of the play. Through the Vaccinations
of his half-brother, he is led for
awhile into a maelstrom of pleasure;
but quickly RECEIVERS his equipoise
and presses on and up to his destiny
"a throne and the hand of bis be-
loved Plum Blossom-which, thanks
to the guidance of a philosophic
friend, he finally attains.

to bar the youths progress. The
