'sRueGLEs OF RED GAP" a play in three
49, nv Harrisnn Rhodes. story by Harry

"Ruggles of Red Gap" made It's
nremier appearance on any stage at
The Playhouse last night, and IN
several ways the event was out OF
tha ordinary. In one respect this
was particularly true Wilmington
wac given opportunity TO pass ludg-
ment on a new play which New YORK
and other large cities will see later
on. And Wilmington, without any
particular regard for what the views
of New York may or may not be, mas
stamped its approval on the produc-
tion There Is no doubt that William
A Brady has gotten together one OF
the strongest companies seen in VIII
nington. The play follows the story
nrinted recently so far as It is pos
sible TO do so and retain its dramatic
strength. It is a virile play, with
subtle humor, clever situations ana
excellent scenery.
Wilmington has seen Ralph Herr
a number of times, but in the part
of Ruggles. the valet, who has the
mart of a gentleman forced upon him
and decides to remain one. he made
the biggest hit that he has ever made
here and probably will make the hit
of his career in other cities. Mr..
Herr is delightfully."- funny, and in
the play has the assistance of those
eminent actors, Lawrence D'Orsay,
remembered for his success in The
Earl of Pawtucket," and John w.
Cope. who is known f0T splendid
work in a number of plays. John
Cope is delightful as Cousin Egbert.
a big warm hearted westerner with
money and brains, but no desire for
smart society Lynn Pratt as
Belknap Jackson, is up to all the re-
quirements of the part.
Mrs Louise Closer Hale, as Mrs.
Efie Floud, has a part which fits her
to perfection, and there is no neces'
sity TO say that this clever woman
did her best. At all times she was
delightful, and simply added to an
already brilliant reputation. Miss
Lenore Harris made an excellent
Mrs. Kenner, and Miss Harriet Ross
won nothing but praise as Mrs. Pet
tingill.
While no effort has been made tc
make the play an elaborate scenic
production. there is a park scene IN
the first act which with its merry
go-round and shooting galleries in &C
ton is about the best thing OF its
kind ever seen in Wilmington.
Mr.. Brady has given his persona
attention to the play, and there Is
every reason to believe that he hal
made a production that is going e
win wherever it is presented. For
first night the play moved remarkabl,
smoothly, and Mr.. Brady need no
hesitate to offer the production II
New York for approval. Il is vastl.
different from the majority of plays
and after witnessing so many pro
auctions dealing with the socia
problem the public will be inclinet
to give thanks for the difference AM
TO praise Mr.. Brady and his excel
lent company for offering something
that is human and wholesome in
stead of the problem play of whicl
the public is decidedly tired. RUG
