duce an alibi. She battles with lies,
and loses; fights with the truth, and
wins. Her courageous announcement
that she will wire the Associated
Press her confession accompanied by
an exposition of Maddocks policies,
induces him to recall his threat.
The audience is left assured that
Barnes will win the election; that
SO-called fallen woman will become
mistress of the White House. 1t is
thus, to quote again from Mr.. Creel,
that Edward Sheldon has, by bit of
daring, commanded attention.
The play deals, of course, with the
Feminist movements movement
that is worldwide, an attempt to
demonstrate a truth that, in time, all
thinking people will recognize. Not
for an instant does Mr.. Sheldon in his
Characterization, nor Mrs. Fiske in
her Interpretation, lose sight of this
theme. Must Mary Page, who sinned
through innocence, be condemned be-
cause the world has always con-
demned her? She is of an exquisite
purity and sweetness. This is the
question. presented in the playa play
which has excited national criticism,
for and against.
The cast was exce1lent-especially
Arthur Byron as John Stephen Mad
dock, and Eugene Ormonde as Win
field Barnes.
Two of Mrs. Fiske's specialties were
noticeable; Mrs. Fiske's whisper and
Mrs. Fiske's silence. Her whispers
dramatic, thrilling-are audible in
the balconies. In. each act was a few
seconds of silence-a silence intensi-
flying the preceding action, silence
permeated with Mrs. Fiske's person
atty.
Mrs. Fiske is essentially a modern
list; in addition to her intuition and
comprehension, her sympathy and
understanding have aided her delin-
cation of the character of Mary Page.
Before she was ten years old, Mrs.
Fiske had appeared with Laura
Keene, Joseph Jefferson and Mrs.
Siddons. AS many people know, she
was literally born to the profession
born of actor parents in New Orleans
in 1865; Minnie was utilized whenever
the property plot. demanded baby
behind the footlights She was leg
itimate star by her sixteenth birth
day-appearing in Callahan's "Fogg's
Ferry at the Park theater in New
York. She married Harrison Grey
F'iske in 1890.
Among her long list of plays are:
Caprice" 'In Spite of ALL Mary
of Magdala,'' Tess of the D'Urber-
vfIles," Becky Sharp" 'Divorcons,"
"Hedda Gab1er," Leah Kleschna,"
