REAL TEARS ARE
SHED In TRAFFIC
Row OF Handkerchiefs Gives Proof
That Miss Bryant Il Emo
tiOnal Actress.

ct never thought such things exist
ed" said Miss Mana Bryant, leading
lady in THE Traffic" in speaking OF
the play in which she is starring.
"Just like any other girl, never
brought i'll contact with that life, l
had never given it any thought. You
know the play was written following
the articles published by the different
magazines after such extensive inves-
LEGATIONS were made of the white slave
trade in Chicago and New York. After
reading these articles, which had in
spired Rachel Marshall to write the
play, the reality of it dawned upon me.
THE mental strain is the hardest
under which 1 ever worked" she said.
The part leaves me worked up to
such an intensity, that sometimes l
live it all over in my dreams"
THE play is unusual in that there
is no love plot. 1t deals entirely with
the one topic.
I'VE opened in San Francisco, and
Rachel Marshall, the author, attended
the first performance. She is the
most quiet, mouse-like little woman
one could imagine. No one in the
world would dream that she ever had
q thought relative To the subject with
which the play deals, much less that
she could write such a play.
Miss Marshall wrote some sketches
but THE Traffic" was her first play,
and has been such a success that it
has inspired a second play, The Crime
of the Law We are engaged to put it
on next year.
at deals with prison reform and
like The Traffic has no love plot. The
story is simply that of "a young boy
sentenced to prison. When he served
his term, he is liberated. but the dis
grace haunts him and ruins his entire
life"

"SHARK SWISH DIP

Among the very latest sensational
dances OF the year in London and
which is coming in vogue in this coun-
try is the SHARK Swish Dip"-and
while it belongs to the tango family,
it is far more difficult to perform
and deliciously entertaining to view
Each couple dips sidewise with the
motion of a shark turning in the wa

is doing it since some marine moving
pictures showed an extraordinary
scene in which a shark caught q fish
and it was initiated into a tango inter-
polation-hence the SHARK Swish

DOES TRAFFIC"
TEACH LESSON?
Play Presented at Oliver Deals With
White Slavers-AIl Parts
Well Taken.

1T Is neither a cheerful or pleasant
play that was revealed in THE Traf-
fic" at the Oliver last evening. The
story deals with a girl being forced in
20 a life Of shame as the only alterna-
tive TO save a sick sister. Low wages
aid a life OF grinding poverty has dull
ed her sense of right and wrong. She
becomes a victim of white slavers not
from choice, but because, as pictured
by the dramatist, there is no other
way. AT times IL is crudely melOdra-
matte. Some of the situations are
coarsely brutal. 1t is not sensuous or
suggestive but as a warning of what
might happen under such circum-
stances il is horribly grewsome.
Whether Il teaches a lesson TO any
that might be benefited is "A question.
That the stage should be given over
20 such productions is doubtful. That
it's existence will be shOrt-lived is
probable.
Miss Mana Bryant is known locally as
"A former leading lady at the Indiana
theater with a stock company that
played an engagement there some
four or five years ago. She is an at
tractive woman. pleasant TO listen to
and does all that is possible with a
very unpleasant role. She impersOn-
ates the sclf-sacrificing sister consist
entity and Capably. so far as the part
permits. 1t is 10 be regretted that the
role has not more redeeming qualities
IT would be interesting to watch her
hen.
The supporting cast probably does
all that is possible with parts that are
mainly unpleasant Miss Claire Sin
claire plays a loud. flashy woman in
a loud, fl2shy manner. John G.. Liv-
ingston is despisably realistic in one of
the most contemplate roles ever given
an actor 20 play. Lois Bolton plays
the sick sister Laura Adams adds a
touch of cheer as a plain spoken
Irish woman and Clifford Thompson
is acceptable as the sympathetic young
physician. Adequate settings are given
each scene. A fair sized audience at
tended the opening performance. 1t
will be repeated this afternoon and
