yond Johns pocketbook. Anne can't
see why a trifie of a couple of thous-
sand dollars should be denied her: a
quarrel ensues: John rushes from the
room. and Anne takes a sleeping po-
ton and goes OF into dreamland. In
her dream she passes through all the
stages OF the trials and deprivations
which beset the pooI workers of the
ingredients that are used in the man
ufacture Of such a creation" as she
had coveted; the silks. the laces, the
artificial flowers and all the rest of
the trimmings. Her dream leads her
through scenes in which the virtue
Of women is assailed by old roues and
leacherous employers, and she even
murders one of the latter sort. She
wakes shuddering under the impress
sion of her dream. John enters; she
relates her experience to him and then
very sapiently and engagingly philos-
ophiZes on the inexcusableness of such
extravagances as she had been guilty
of in the years of their married life.
A complete understanding between
husband and wife is the natural re-
suit; likewise complete happiness.
Miss Boland is a most charming and
alluring anne, and II must have cost
John not a little struggle to set his
face against her wishes; in fact one is
inclined to the belief that a good many
nusDdndS would nave cast discretion to
the winds and plunged head over heels
in debt to crafty her exactions, no
matter how unreasonable. But Miss
Boland brings to the part more than
grace and good looks; every one of the
scenes calls for the Interpretation of
different emotions and It is interesting
to observe how fully she enters into
the character OF each one OF the per
sonalities with which her dream invests
her. She was at her best in the scene
as a poor hunchbacked worker of
flowers. where she sells her hair in
order to buy a wedding present: in
another where she is made to imperso-
nate a trapper's wife who hates him
and loves another. and in the final of
her dream when she represents a model
and kills her employer.
Leon Quartermaine proved himself q
most versatile actor in depicting the
widely divergent phases with which
Anne's dream clothes him. He was at
his best as Jonkheer Ian Van Der Bonn,
q Dutch fop. and as Jacquelin, the pro-
prietor of a fashionable dressmaking
establishment. Each and every one Of
his characterizations was perfect in its
way.
The supporting company is made up
of good material 1t was a pleasure to
see once again Fuller Mellish who
makes a distinctive success of every
role he assumes.

aThe LIIx.n

'"The LILY"
The Poll Company offers this week a
highly emotional drama Of French fam
ily life which David Belasco adapted for
the American stage and produced with
considerable success two seasons ago.
The Lily" has all the technical excel
lencies that are to be expected In the
finished work OF the master producer, and
Director Andrews has not allowed any OF
them to get lost in the Poll presenta-
ton. Carefully built emotional plays
have habit OF beginning quietly and
coming TO n strong climax at the end
of the third act, with soothing finish
In the fourth. In this play Mr.. Belasco
seems to have tried how far the principle
could be carried.
The comte de MaIgny is a selfish old
rascal, wrapped up in his physical COM
forts and family pride, whose two daugh-
tiers have never been allowed to seek
any happiness OF their own that might
interfere with his pleasure. The younger
daughter finds an outlet for her pent-up
aspirations In secret and Illicit at
tachment, the discovery Of which threat
ems to destroy her fathers pride and her
brothers prospects. In the end the father
leaves, the lovers part with hope OF
ultimate union, and scandal Is hushed.
The part that dominates the story Is
that OF Odette, the Lily" whose youth
has been withered by her fathers for
bidding rule, and in the hands Of Miss
Katherine Stanton II receives q forcibls
and convincing Interpretation. Miss LII

The audience was unusually large and

nails play at st. Louis yesterday.
With the hard times, the war and all,
the only comment one may make on
such a turnout at such time is that
It was "some crowd" In the mean
time, talking about good breaks, how
about the Feds? Really, they seemed
to have been lost in the shuttle. The
fact is, the battle in the National
League has taken all the attention,
and interest is bound to be main
tanned while the close fight is on.

Around the corners the boys are
discussing little else except the great
National League race. Opinions, of
course, differ as to the probable out
come, but one thing stands OUT in
most of the arguments-George stall
