SCUdan war Scene
,1Tbe Hard Man" concerns the British
,,,,11aioD in the Soudan and the scene
Is laid in an English otIlcer S tent
A caDtiye is brought in, an English
non disg1lised as an Arab, who has been
criyina- away secrets and plans OF IorJl-
fficati0ns OF the English to the enemy.
me English general decides the traitor
must die. He gives him revolver TO
shoot himself
War correspondents in the tent ask
the general who the man is. He tells
them the traitor is his son.
The part Of the general IS strongly
acted BY HolbrOOk Blinn, and the at
nosphere of Indian life IS carried out
exceptionally well
The poetic phantasy is named The
Fountain" and was written by :. NJ u.
Mcclellan, who has contributed many
lyrics to the musical comedy stage.
In q most beautiful setting, we discern
a statue on a fountain IN Parislan
park. Here comes ragplcker, former
artist, who was in love with the modeI
who posed for the statue. but he SUI
fered by having his love stolen by
rival artist He falls asleep after scat
tering roses in the pool of the fountain
to the memory of Terese, and dreams
Of his love. The statue comes to lie
and begs his forgiveness and talks OF
old times. The scene ends with the
return of Terese to the statue and the
awakening of the ragpicker, who scat
tiers a few moro blossoms on the water
and shambles off the stage. Miss Polon
as the statue and Mr.. Blinn as the rag
picker give the playlet an artistic
touch, which leaves a pleasing impress
sion
Funniest of the Farces.
at Can Be Done" is the title OF the
funniest of the two farces. A sophistt-
Gated New Yorker is seated on the obser-
Walton platform of a swiftly moving
train when he is approached by a con-
fidence woman, who endeavOrS to part
him from $500. He realizes what she is
trying to do and informs her that 1t
can't be done" In despair she says she
viii throw herself from the train and
even climbs the rail to convince him
that she is in earnest. he. however,
merely remarks that she must be care
full or she will tear her skirt after
which she climbs back nd once more
declares that she will get his money.
She then rings for the conductor and
tells him a story which matches her
disheveled appearance and gives a
touch of blackmail to the story. As the
man starts through the door to leave
