"The Confession.v

The play offered by the Poll company
this week, THE Confession" by James
Hallock Reid, is built from a series OF
situations that necessarily appeal to the
most solemn and profound emotions.
While the author has not treated his ma
terial with remarkable briIliance or In
sight, the intensity and vigor of the plot
keep up an absorbing interest. and the
admirable work Of the players helps to
fill in the color of life that is lacking
in the text.
Mr.. Buhler as the young priest. who
hears a murderer's confession and must
not disclose the fact even to save the
life Of his brother. who Is accused of the
crime, portrays not SO much a great
mental struggle as a sublime example of
faith, so steadfast as to give no room for
question or contest
Mr.. Corbett, as usual offers a brilliant
piece OF work. He is the French-Cana-
dian fisherman who makes the confession
and is shaken by remorse, superstition
and fear OF the gallows. Dudley Hawley
as the wrongfully accused brother of the
priest shows that he is capable of ad-
mirable emotional acting.

Macfarland Urges Supporters to Re-

Friends Of the National Capital are re-
minded by a statement yesterday by
Henry b. F. Macfarland. chairman of

continued vigilance and exertions will be
necessary to insure the defeat OF the

asked whether the action Of the Senate
In striking out OF the District appropria-
ton bill section and the Borland amend
ment did not insure for this session the
defeat Of measures intended to destroy
the 'half-and-half arrangement and 9TH
ers," said the chairman. THE executive
committee, therefore, desires to remind
the friends of the National Capital here
and elsewhere that those measures will
come up again when the report Of the
conference committee on the District ap-
preparation bill is made to the two houses.
and that their friends I'm Congress Will
have to fight for its continued progress.
Meantime, they should lose no oppor-
tunity to present the facts to individual
Senators and Representatives. so that
they may be fully informed when the
time comes for a vote. Fortunately. op-
portunity will be provided for a roll call
that ought to bring out full vote in
the House. where those measures were
passed without a roll call and with a
small attendance

BELAScO.
Life of Our saviour"


Appropriate to the Lenten season. and
especially 10 Holy Week, is the produc-
| tion at the Belasco Theater, under the
management of Mr.. Robert w. Priest,
of Pathe Freres' elaborate photo drama
! THE Life of Our Saviour" Both the
matinee and the evening presentation
were well attended. and the audiences
followed with reverent interest the scenes
In the life Of the Nazarene from the
cradle to the cross. 1t is no easy task
so to visualize the career and the work
of Jesus. the Christ, as not to jar upon
the finer religious sentiment of the spec
tator, and II is greatly to the credit Of
the producers Of this spectacle that they
do not seriously offend In this particu-
lar. In fact, the only scene that Is open
to criticism in this respect Is the final
one In which the Deity is presented to the
view in the form of an old man not at
all spiritual in appearance. and Jesus
''sitteth at the right hand of the Father"
He was seen walking with His Disciples.
In every other regard none but the
highest praise is to be accorded. There
is a wealth of magnificent stage pictures.
many Of them of decided archaeological
interest The Oriental atmosphere per-
vades every detail The appearance OF
the star to the shepherds watching their
fiocks; the caravan, of the three wise
men. with camels laden with gifts; the
alteration of the babe Jesus in the man
ger at Bethlehem; the flight into Egypt;
the massacre of the innocents; the scene
in the temple, where Jesus drives out
the money changers: the entry of the
Saviour into Jerusalem, with the crowds
waving palm branches and shouting ho-
sannas; the last supper; Jesus before
Caiphas and PLATE; the via dolorosa, and
the final tragedy on Golgotha--in all these
wonderfully impressive effect is created
by the artistic handling Of the crowds
and all accessories. Equally well-pre-
pared and carried out are those scenes
which represent the miracles done by the
Saviour. such as causing the blind to
see and the lame to walk, raising the
daughter of Jairus, and making Lazarus
come forth from the grave.
The organ music throughout the enter
tainment was altogether agreeable, and
the lecture parts in the intervals between
the reels was sufficient to keep the audi
ence in the proper mental attitude.
