answering the last few questions one
feels that surely the court has been
sitting without interruption and that
the scene which the spectator has been
watching was somehow brought back
into remembrance through her recital
of the facts.
So, too, are handled the other dra
matte episodes which take up the
action. In every case the interest and
attention are focused upon the trial
from which the play gets it's name, and
as the close Of the hearing approaches
the audience, with the knowledge
which is gained as the trial progresses,
becomes as anxious to determine what
the verdict shall be as the prisoner at
the bar.

wife Of the defendant. divided honors
with Westcott Clarke, the murdered
man. The part of Mrs. Strickland was
most difficult one, ranging from a
delineation Of intensest emotion to the
innocent freshness of young girl in
her teens To add to the difficulty of
her part she had to enact the mature
woman first, the mother and wife
fighting for the happiness of her little
daughter and her husband.
Trask, the cold, constituencies liber-
tine, was consummate. His handling
OF a most difficult part was perfect.
When portraying the scene thirteen
years earlier he maintained the cOntin

showed that the years had left him un

simple matter to grasp the trend of the
dramatic story as revealed on the stage,

A MURDER TRIAL.

Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1915-12-16
THIS MURDER TRIAL WAS
APPRECIATED BY EXPERT
Joseph L. Hooper, Who Has Figured
in Many Real Cases, Greatly I'M
pressed With "On Trial."

Enquirer, Battle Greek, November 7:
Attorney Joseph L. Hooper has taken
part in every murder trial that has
been held in Calhoun county for the
last ID years excepting one. Either as
prosecuting attorney, or for the defense
he has followed every case closely
studying it from the inside examin
ing the witnesses, watching the effect
of each bit Of testimony on the jury,
and in fact following it through min
utely from beginning to end. AS an
attorney he probably has had more
murder trial experience than any
other lawyer in this section,
Mr. Hooper was an interested specta
tor at the Post theatre when the first
performance of "On Trial. was given
by the Cohan & Harris company Fri
day evening If any one could discover
flaws in a trial built around murder
trial, Mr. Hooper is probably that man.
But he declared yesterday morning that
ION Trial was one of the most re-
markable dramas he had ever wit
messed in recent years.
ION Trial. is most remarkable and
striking example of dramatic effort, y
Mr. Hooper said. ''The very manner in
which it was presented to the audience
shows skill that amounts to genius. I
found myself just as much interested
in the party as any trial in which 1
have ever participated.
From a strictly legal view point,
I think the opening statement Of the
district attorney was little strong.
/! He made a bitter attack on the de-
PENDANT that would not be tolerated in
Michigan courts. But the judge over
ruled the attorney for the defense in a
manner that would be looked upon as
injustice, as we try cases here.
But aside from that it was as true
and as life like presentation Of legal
trial, as a person could see on the stage. -
Other attorneys who saw the play
also spoke in the same terms as Mr.
Hooper.

ION TRIAL" HOLDS
FAUROT CIR OW D
IN STRONG GRIP
Actors and Their Art Forgotten in
Intense Interest.
STIRRING STORY is TOLD
One Drama That Really Is Finished
Production.

FFOUuSIiOus
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. l0.-Applause
was lacking at last nights peri finance
of ION Trial. at the Faurot.
But the absence Of applause was due
to the fact that every person in the
audience was held absolutely under
the spell of the powerful drama being
unfolded before their eyes, a drama SO
full of tragedy and pathos that, as
situation after situation was unfolded,
the spectators held their breath await
ing the outcome.
Such production, with it's lightning
changes from court room to the various
scenes of the crime for which Rockert
Strickland was being tried, would have
been fiat failure handled by any
mediocre company. But acted as it
was last night by the splendid players
in the Cohan and Harris cast, the in
tense and gripping story was unfolded
with reality which time and again
lifted the whole audience away from
the precints of the playhouse and took
them actually to the library where
Gerald Trask met his death, to the
home of Robert Strickland, and to the
little country hotel, where was enacted
the first episode which resulted in the
homicide.
Less able actors would have won
applause for their ability to act their
various parts. But, looking upon the
scenes which eliminated in the killing
of Gerald Trask, the actors were for
gotten, their art forgotten 1t was the
principals themselves, the acts them
selves, which were seen. One may
applaud the hero who finishes the
william. but one does not intrude him
self upon murderer just after he has
killed his man.
That was the effect achieved.
Opening in the court room, with the
defendant sitting beside his counsel
the Judge upon the bench, aud the last
juror being examined by the state, one
is little prepared for the swiftness with
which this more or less conventional
dramatic setting is merged into the
actual scene of the crime.
