In Charles Klein's Maggie Pepper,
which had its initial appearance at the
New National last night, Rose Stahl,
she of the picturesque Patricia O'Brien,
of 1.-The Chorus Lady" fame, is given
an opportunity to show that her his
trionic abilities are not confined eS-
clusively to slangy, careless, heartless
portrayal of life. On the other hand,
Maggie Pepper, the leading character
Of the play, as impersonated by MISS
Stahl, is a person of sentiment, and
throughout the story the actress shows
hitherto undeveloped powers.
The first act of Maggie Pepper" is
filled with catchy, bright, and scream

progresses, however, these lines become

Walter Craven, as John Hargen, the

much ease. Hattie Murphy, represent
ed by Agnes Marc, the slangy, loaded
down-with-troubles saleslady, gives a
touch of real department store life to
the whole performance.
Max Reynolds, the persistent Jake
Rothschild. who would combine bust
ness with pleasure, is an excellent
travelling salesman, as well as stage
love-maker Miss Adele Adams, as
Ada Darkin. the shoplifting sister-in-

SUCCESSFUL PLAY
Scenes of "Everywoman"

Wrought with infinite care and pa
thence, manifestly the concentrated effort
of an artist, "Everywoman," Walter
Brownies morality play which is at the
Belasco this week, stands out pre-emi-
nently successful as a morality play.
Not just exactly the old type of moral
ity play, but something infinitely more
pithy, subtle. and full of meat. The
lyrics of George Whitefeld Chadwick
are good, the settings are marvels of
stagecraft, and the lines themselves are
excellent
The. five scenes are well handled and
the waits are not long. the one bug

ing overcome to the great satisfaction
of the audience. The first scene, which
finds "Everywoman" in her home. sur

color, treatment, and balance reminding
one strongly of the famous Maxf1eld

As .Everywoman," Miss That's Ma

one who gives such touches Of realism,
some of the symbolism Is left to be

De la Bafra made an address when

Madero's abdication followed an
other day of heavy fighting, in which
there was much carnage and terrible
destruction of property.
The President made desperate eff
fort to redeem his pledge to crush the
rebellion, but utterly failed, some of
the Federal troops revolving and
going over to-the revolutionists.
With the Senate of the Republic in
session, it is now stated on positive
authority that Francisco T. Madero has
agreed to permanently retire only in
the event that such a course be die
tated by the Senate.
The British Legation reiterated it's
