"cIeyatinE n Husband"

The Poll Players presented last even-
ing "Eleyating a Husband" a play which
achieved success about three years ago,
but this is the first time it has been
seen In Washington and was given q
cordial reception by a large audience.
The comedy should be praised for its
general atmosphere of good humor and OF
human sympathy. 1t is indeed, a
wholesome playa play which contributes
genuine pleasure in a commingling of
forceful truths of life and clean comedy
in a delightful manner which contributes
to our love Of life
The theme is a familiar one of some
seasons past, showing the disastrous re-
suits of a wife's attempts to socially
elevate her husband. The husband has a
profound knowledge of business and has
made a fortune in chain Of scent stores
and all his spare time is taken up with
league baseball news, but, although he is
uncultured and unable TO acquire social
familiarity, he proves in the end the
biggest and best character of the story.
Richard Buhler depicts Charlie Sample,
the husband, with precise conception Of
the various characteristics of the role
created by Louis Mann. and his work
is done with pleasing ease and excel
Ience. Miss Izetta Jewell is radiant. and
has more than usual charming appeal
in her delineation OF the principal
feminine character. Other important
roles are played by Theodore Roberts.
Stanley James, Dudley Hawley, Frank
Shannon. Miss Kent, Miss Bondhill, ana

NEW NATIONAL.
wnilam Collier I'm "A little Water
On the Side.

The perennial William Collier returned
to Washington last evening and present.
ed at the National Theater what may
safely be called a Collier show. Every
body In the United States, and beyond,
will understand what that means. Some
people like Collier, and some don't, and
reconciliation of opinion is not to be
hoped for. To the present writer, Col
lier is the wittiest and at the same time
the most refined light comedian on the
American stage.
"A Little Water on the Side" need
make no apology for itself. It Is a re-
freshing draft attractively served by a
corps OF capable players IT consists of
Collier dialogue, Collier celerity, and all
the Collier effects that have served to
exploit the peculiar quiet Collier humor
from Atlantic to Pacific.
The comedy is in three scenes the last
one an elaborate houseboat set, James

keeper returns home, after years of
wandering. possessed of nothing but a
small tract Of land desired by a capital

as Abbott, though completely serious in
manner-his method is a combination Of
rapidity and repression. Paula Mari
(Mrs. Collier was the attractive capi-
tallst's daughter; and Willie Collier, jr.,
made big hit as a boy scout. His
tango dance with clever Eleanor Good
speed and his love scene with that little
lady were very funny.
Charles Dow Clark gave a clever per-

great task on any one. Happily, only
ability was displayed. 1

THE BELAsco.
sSyithip the Law

The fame of Bayard veiller's success
ful melodrama has preceded n to such
extent that Washington was prepared
10 De much interested. No doubt many
members of last nights large audience at
the Belasco Theater anticipated grip
ping" story. 1t may be suspected, how
ever, that not many were prepared for
quite so many thrills TO the square inch
as were actually furnished by Mary
Turner's exploits and misfortunes-both
within and without the law, as 1t proved.
Within the Law" is made up o.
leaves from Charles Klein's book. 1t is
the journalistic play par excellence, built
upon subject matter Of wide current ap-
peal. and a most worthy legitimate in
terest in its original proposition. Mary
Turner was a shopgirl who had sue
oeeded dn keeping straight" in spite OF
her nine hours a day at six dollars
week. When another girls theft was
charged to her, and she was made an
example" by being sentenced to three
years In prison, she broke forth IN
righteous ringing words of protest and
denunciation of her employer and the
social, legal system under which she
suffered-words so eloquent and convinc-
ing they must have given thought to q
less commercial soul. But she was help
less before the juggernaut She served
Eer term, and afterward, discouraged
and failing to conquer the fate OF the
released convict, turned her whole life
into a scheme of revenge She would
stay within the law, but she would make
the world pay. And she reached the
elimination of her plans by marrying
the son of the man who had sent ner
to prison.
1t is here that the play weakens in its
main and legitimate interest, the charac-
ter Of Mary Turner, and becomes tne
regulation thriller. Probability mas niue
place henceforth-the author is deVoting
himself TO showing a series OF clever
evasions and the ready wit OF his heroine
as she counters the police. The sus-
tanned character interest which distin-
guished The Deep Purple from most
melodramas and crook plays has no
counterpart in within the Law" alter
the second act. Following a scuffie in
the dark and the killing of stool
pigeon, THE Third Degree and all the
host of police court plays are cnaI-
lenged in the effort to go one better. Ana
by dint Of some very excellent acting
1t is almost to be said that Nellier play
succeeds in this.
The cast is remarkably good. Miss
Helen Ware, of course, is to be relied
lIpon for faultless work IN role or such
tense emotions and of this particular
type She is admirably convincing al
every moment. Frank Campeau is ex-
ceIlent as Joe Carson, the crook, who
both brought on the crisis and saved
the situation in the end. Eugene
O'Rouke as the police inspector, Ech-
lin P. Gayer as the stool pigeon (he VIII
be remembered for his 'silly-ass part
in THE Man From Home); Edward
DonneIly as the district attorney, Beat /
rice Moves as Agnes Lynch the one
comedy character in the story; Jean
Acker as Helen Norris, the real thief |
and Emmett C. King as the rich depart
ment store owner. combined exceIent
individual work into one Of the best en-
sembles seen in washington in this sea-
son of well-acted plays.
