Miss Helen Ware has found in the
role of Mary Turner her best part since
she played the wife, in ''The Third De-
gree She is admirably suited to the
role. both physically and vocally, and
her emotional scenes are given in sup
pressed. repressed monotone which is
remarkably effective. To miss Miss
Wares conception Of the leading female
role of the WELLER play is to miss a
real dramatic treat.
The only other feminine role of i'm
portance. thlt created by Florence Nash,
is intrusted to Miss Beatrice Noyes,
who plays Agnes, Mary Turner's friend
and confederate. This role, although
almost straight comedy, is fully as diff
cult OF handling as is that of Mary
Turner. Therefore is all the more
praise due Miss Noyes for the excellent
manner in which she delivers her lines
and her ability for getting them
across"

Skillful Construction
In "Within the Law"
Copyright. 1918.
by the Press Publishing Co.
By JULIA MURDOCH.

~ HERE il an old adage to the
effect that IAN the world loves a
lover
As amended after an evening
at the Belasco Theater, I would sug-
gest "All the world loves a melodrama.' %
I consider that within the Law" Is
one Of the most enjoyable-if not the
most enjoyable-melodrama have
ever witnessed, and have seen them
all for more years than I care to re-
member, or have remembered.
There were other melodramas which
had thrills which equaled those of
within the Law" there have been other
crook plays where the comedy element
has been as good as IN the Bayard
WELLER piece: there have been other
melodramas where the characters were
as well drawn: but I can remember
none where all three elements were so
skillfully blended to the completion Of
such satisfying and enjoyable whole.
Having had the pleasure of seeing
within the Law during the course Of
which, by the bye. is scheduled to end
tonight after a season and a half at the
Julian Eltinge Theater-I paid little
less attention to the play and more to
the acting, the dramatic construction,
and the audience last night than
otherwise would. 1t Is only natural to
do SO when one is seeing play for the
second time.
Finest Piece
Of Dramatic Work.
Observations only strengthened my
fin st tmpression-that within the Law
is one of the finest bits Of dramatic
craftsmanship I have ever seen; that Its
comedy lines are placed where they will
do the most good. that its thrills come
as the logical result Of series OF we'll
directed Incidents: that it holds an au-
dience from first to last in grip Of
steel.
There is hardly any use to tell the plot
of the WELLER play. Newspaper reviews
and magazine criticisms galore have
familiarized practically everyone with
the story of the shopgirl who Is sent to
prison for a theft Of which she was in
nocent. and how she swears to devote
the rest of her life to getting even" with
the man responsible for her imprison-
ment, but how she remains always
..within the law" because she claims
that anyone can make money if he
knows how to use the law"
But it is not merely melodrama
hich Mr. WELLER has written; it Is not
merely an appeal to the emotions, an
attempt to create thrills which he has
pcrred-it Is more. 1t is a plea for
three distinct changes in our present
civilization" sugar-coated, but still an
appeal.
In the first act he makes fervfd plea
TO: living wage for the shopSirl,
Who as Mary Turner says, mas to stop
helm decent II she wants to live. In
the second act he gives the audience
glimpse of his other two ideas-the re-
form of prison methods and the hound
inc. OF ex-convicts by the police after
they are released from prison.

One of the Lines
Of Great Significance.

There is one of Mary Turner's lines
IL: this act which strikes me is we'll
worth having play written around it.
On being reproached by the district
attorney for having served her full
three gears in Sing Sing without any
time on she turns on him and says:
Yes, / served my full time and I'm
proud of it. Do y0l know what goes
on inside those prison walls where you
are paid to send men and women?
Do you know what women have to do
to get time off? If you don't, ask the
keepers."
The third motif appears in the talk
between Joe Carson and the detective,
Cassidy. Carson reproaches Cassidy
for bounding Mary and practically
forcing her back into the life from
which che had emerged.
Your little book" Joe snee-s. re-
ferrlng to Cas5idy's, notebook. with
Mary'e record therein. does that
tell how you pulls bounded her and
wouldn't let her find a place? Does it
tell how you told her employers that
