her lifelong devotion for twenty-seven
years of youth and prettiness. and her
pride Is crushed. In a superbly acted
scene between the two women she prom
ises to divorce Slade, not before the girl
has broken under the pathetic story OF
her early, hardships and struggles. how
ever, and Slade has decided that It
might be just as well for them not to
go too far.
Now the wife is just as obstinate as
before. She insists upon giving him the
divorce he wanted, and she does. but he
loses the Senator's daughter. who dis
covers that she loves her girlhood

granted and Slade is elected governor

lunch, and suddenly he catches sight
Of his former mistress. and right here
everybody in the audience knows ex-
actly how the play is going to end.
Chauffeur rushes out into the night
and brings Slade back with him, and in
scene full Of pathos they talk over
their troubles, while the walters prepare
to close up for the night.
In the final scene, Slade wraps Mary's
cloak about her. takes her in his arms.
and carries her out to the waiting mo-
tor car and in all probability to their
Western home. Whether he effects
sartorial .and social reform in Mary, or
whether he decides she win do just as
she is, remains mystery. The play
ends happily and that Is all the audi
ence seemed to desire.
IL is the players. however. who make
THE Governors Lady" a success. The
play Is an old theme. treated In novel
manner. a story that would be impos-
sfble IL not told 50 effectively. Il IS un-
necessary to state that the stage pic
lures supplied by Messrs. Belasco and
Elliott are amazingly complete and
thoroughly satisfying.
A quartet Of players score heavily in
"The Governors Lady" First there Is
Emma Dunn. the little colorIess wife.
whose temperament got cross-wise with
her husbands. Every regular thezter
goer remembers her as Ase, the mother
of Peer Gynt. In the play OF that name;
as the maid In The Easiest Way" and
In THE warrens OF Virginia." In none
of these plays was she allowed such
scope for her peculiar and artistic tall
ent as in .'The Governors Lady" She
scored a success in Mother" but that
was nothing in comparison to the won
cerful work she is doing in this play.

Hanson, who is everything In the play

should be. has a hrm grasp on the

the most delicate bits Of acting last

LICE CAMPBELL was ten years
~ old when her mother died, her
~ father she did not remember at
all, for he died when Alice was
a baby. ..
Alice's mother had done sewing to
support herself and little daughter, and
one OF her customers. Mrs. Jordan. Of
fered TO take Alice TO live with her if
she could make herself useful in help
ing the servants and doing errands.
IT will send her to school," Mr.. Jor-
don told the committee who came to in
herself worthy / will train her for a
house maid
This seemed TO satisfy the committee
and Alice went to live with Mrs. Jordon
in a fashionable part of the city.
Mrs. Jordon had a daughter about the
age of Alice; her name was Florence,
and while she had all the advantages
her rich father could give to her she
! did not take advantage of them.
When 1t was time for her to practice
| her music lesson she would waste her
| time drumming out some tune she had
| heard or she would play a few notes OF
1 her lesson and spend the rest of her
hour looking out of the window.
She went to one of the best private
schools and her time was wasted there
| because she did not study.
Alice went TO the public school and
one day while she was studying her les
son Florence passed her room. -
Let me see where you are In your
lessons, she said, taking the book for
Alice. ~ =
The lesson was far in advance OF that
which Florence had studied, and she
tossed the book on the table beside
Alice, saying as she did so: "Oh, we
cont study that trash at my school. We
shall never have any use for that sort OF
learning
| But that is only a grammer lesson,
| replied Alice. 81 thought everybody
| learned to speak correctly
Florence did not reply to this. but told
Alice she wanted her 10 come down
stairs and turn her music while she
practiced.
Alice closed her book and went with
lher, she had learned that IL was best tC
do Florence's bidding, or she would ap'
peal to her mother by saying that Alice
never wanted to do anything she asket
fer to do.
One day while she was watching Flor
ence and turning her music. she said
This Is the way to play that: I watch
ed your teacher the last time he was
here"
How do you know anything about
music?" asked Florence. as Alice placed
her fingers on the keys, you have new
er taken lessons"
No" replied Alice, but l have prac'
ticed a little when you were out

soling thought. Mr.. Hubbard Perdue
Of Tennessee. sometimes known -
the "0allatin Squash" cannot pitch
every day. He was the gall and
wormwood that sent twenty thou
sand fans home last night sullenly
clamoring for hot Scotch instead Of
thinking happily OF tho tango and
the trot. BY his pernicious activi-
ties In the box Mr.. Perdue turned
the champion Giants over and
spanked them 30 soundly ~ to re-
call the old storyof David and
Goliath. There were no bones" or

up. There WAS no chance for An
argument or an alibi. Tho Giants
simply couldn't hit the ball and were
given . clean trimming.

Giants saw what they were up against

their waiting tactics and began slam
