Academy.

The trials and trbulations of a prospec-
tor in the western country are indicated
in '.One Woman's Life" which is the at
traction at the Academy this week. The
play is interesting because it carries
strange love story. In it there is the girl
who marres the man she did not love
just to save her good name, while her
real lover disappears. The husband and
wife go west and begin prospecting in
the Sierra Madre mountains. The hus-
band is killed by dynamite explosion
and the lover reappears. Cold is struck
and In the camp there grows first a
frame dwelling and then a handsome
mansion.

in the mountains. is beautiful. 1t is said
the artist spent three months in the west
getting material for the scene. In the
second act there is reproduction in life

Polls.

Miss Frances Nelson, one of the most
popular stock favorites with Washing
ton audiences, was welcomed to Poll S as
the new leading lady last night with an
enthusiasm which showed how great is
her vogue here. Her vehicle was Forty
five Minutes from Broadway" the George
NJ. Cohan comedy, and she played the
part of Mary with delightful appeal.
When Miss Nelson appeared on the stage
she was greeted with a storm of ap-
plausc which lasted for many minutes
and she was forced to bow again and
again. Later she was presented with
a mass of flowers which almost hid her
from view, and she made a graceful and
sincere little curtain speech. telling how
glad she was to return to Washington
Although the part taken by Miss Nell
son last night did not begin to furnlsh
her opportunity to show her full capa-
bilities. her acting at all times was as
finished and as appealing as ever, and
many thought at times displaying ne"
development.
Miss Nelson sang two songs. so Long,
Mary and Mary Grand Old Name,
and her sweet voice thrilled those OF the
audience who were not familiar with
that element of her talent. Even the
members of the company joined IN the
applause which followed.
The presentation, with Richard Buhler
ed an evening of fun for the Poll Players
as we'll as the audience. When Mr..
BUTLER did song and dance and Cecil
BowSer introduced rhyme about Polls
every one realized that the original come
dy was being added to and Joined in the
frolic. Dudley Hawley. as the new
millionaire. Tom Bennett, did not risk
his voice. and 1.-The Popular Millionaire
was sung by Russell Fillmore.
With the exception of Stanley James,
hull Mr
Kline as James Blake; Frank Shannon
as Daniel Cronn, and Miss Helen Tracey
as Mrs. Purdy. none of the members of
the company were given opportunity to
show their real ability. Miss Hazel May,
as the fiancee of the new millionaire, and
Miss Louise Kent, as her mother, did all
they had to do cXcellently.
There was a chorus, mostly Washing
ton amateurs, which sang and danced
well. 1t included Misses Marie Hardy,
Virginia Hardy, Ruth Sinclair, Ruby
Raymond. Lillian Menaugh, Pearl Dey-
hoff and Peggy Ford.

/ Miss Julia Dean. whose fine work as
| the leading woman of the Columbia
Stock Company. and later in two New
York successes "The Lily and
Bought and Paid For achieved
! her eminence as a star. returned
to the capital last night at the Belasco
Theater as the star in a new play. "Her
own Money" comedy in three acts
! by Mark Swan
| While the play is described as a
comedy. it is based on perhaps what
many wives will recognize as one of
the most tragical things in their mar
| RED lives. the shifting problem of a
wife's allowance. a business like di-
vision of. and share in, the earnings
OF their husbands. The complications
that ensue from an unfolding of this
problem gave Miss Dean and her com
pany an excellent opportunity. to
which she and her leading man. Lionel
Adams. especially in the second act,
responded with much dramatic in
tensity that the audience was held in
breathless silence
Miss Dean led with subtle artistry her
company through two very good acts of a
play that has an opportunity to focus at
tention on one of the most important ques-
tons attracting the interest of the femi-
nine world of today. At bottom the play
is sordid 1t deals simply and purely
with money. There are three sets of men
and women in it, two couples of them
married and another about to be. and
through all the three acts there is no eX-
position Of anything except the difference,
from the point of view of husband and
a wife. between parsimony and economy.
There is not a single note of idealism.
not one noble reason for any of the
things the characters in the play say or
do. They are concerned solely and al
ways with money, money, money.
Yet the play possesses strong interest.
because it is concerned with the simple.
small things of our daily lives. the vital,
homely, familiar. everyday things that
every man and woman knows about and
talks about in the workaday world. II
necessarily must make an appeal to rich
and poor alike for the three-dollar plumb
ers bill concealed form one husband
last night is own brother to thousand
dollar dressmaker's bill that some woman
may conceal from her husband tomor-
row, and the consequences are shown
in last nights play to be the same,
irrespective of the amount.
Miss Dean. as Mary Alden. the wife.
has splendid opportunities in the play.
and avails herself of them in every way.
Her scene of emotion at the climax,
when her husband leaves her because she
has not trusted him with her savings,
was more than convincing. The work of
all tile members of Miss Deans small
company was satisfying. Walter Wilson.
another favorite remembered in local
stock work, as Harvey Beecher. horse
race player and parsimonious husband,
was especially good.

parodies in the second act nearly forced
him to make a speech. Another come
dian in the show, who is star in his
line is George F. Hayes. in the role of

Partisan fashion model. adds much to
the performance and sings several num-
bers in a pleasing manner. The re-
mainder of the cast does all that can be
expected of it.
The show is one of the best seen here
this season. There is an abundance of
good music, assigned to persons who can

and full of life. and the costumes are
models of sartorial art in the realm of
burlesque.
