| unor Is Dominant Note
in Dramatic Offerings Here
"Officer 600" Is Greeted With
Uproarous Laughter at the
orpheum Theatre.

''If you want to find a policeman
quickly, try a saloon" That's what
Trayers Gladwin told his Jap butler
at the orpheum Theatre last night.
The Jap took his advice, ducked into
the first saloon he saw and brought
forth Patrolman Phelan, a regular
cop known as Officer 666.
Then the fun started and was kept
up in a whirlwind manner through
out the three acts of the play. One
humorous turn deserves another is
the underlying thought of Austin
MacHigh's clever farce, "Officer $685."
and the humorous turns follow one
another so quickly there is little time
for breathing spells.
The scenes. are laid in the drawing
room and art gallery of the palatial
Gladwin home on Fifth avenue. When
the first curtain goes up the stage
and whole house are thrown into
utter darkness and a weird feeling
begins to creep UP and down your
backbone, as a shaft of light from
a flash is seen skipping about the
room. Then the lights are turned on
and there on the stage Is no one but
the Jap butler. Such a relief.
Officer 666 hobs in to see what's
going on, and the butler tells him
that Gladwin, his master, has returned
from Europe. Then Travers Gladwin
himself comes in along with his chap
py friend, Whitney Barnes, and the
globe-trotter tells his friend that he
"ducked' home quietly because he
had heard that his former butler and
another man were planning to rob
him.
From a pretty girl with whom he
had fallen in love, because he saw
her eat grape fruit, Gladwin learns
that another man, who has been inn
personating him, is engaged to marry
her that very night. OF course, he
is shocked to learn this, but he tells
her honestly he hopes she marries
Travers Gladwin that night. she not
approaching that he is the real Glad
win.
The artists who interpret the char
acters are very clever. Harold How
ard as Whitney Barnes, the English
chappy with the flexible hands and
feet, is especially clever, and Ernest
p. Evers, as the real Gladwin, was
very fine. Sydney Seward, as AL
fred Wilson, the notorious picture
&nief. could not be improved on, and
Julia Nagi and Blanche Aimee, the
girls in the case, are summers.

be staged at the Orpheum.

goal this night. He realized this
clearly, now that he was face to face
with actualities. 1t required moro
than the chaotic impulses that had
brought him back from the t1ngles OF
the Orient. He must reason out q
plan that should be like straight

given points How then should no

schemes could possibly be put into
operation? Return to his hotel and
smoke himself headachy? Try TO be-

bed, to turn and roll till dawn? A
wild desire seized him TO make a
night of it-Maxim's, the cabarets;
riot and wine. Who cared? But tue
desire burnt Itself out between
two puffs. of his cigar. Ten years
ago. perhaps, this particular brand
of amusement might have urged him
successfully But not now; he was
done with tomfool nights. Indeed,
his designations had been whimsical
rather than banal; AMI retrospcct:on
never aroused a ftirf her sense Of
shame.
He was young, but not so young
as an idle glance might conjecture
in passing. To such casual reckon
ing he appeared to be in the early
tMenties; but scrutiny, more or less
infallible. noting a line hero or an
angle there, was disposed to aid ten
years to the score. There was in the
nose and chin a certain decisiveness
which in true youth is rarely de-
veleped. This characteristic arrives
only with manhood. manhood that
has been tried and perhaps buffete d
and perchance iittle -disillllsiope d.
