The Little Shepherd of
Kingdom Come, Which
Had Its Premiere at the
Belasco Theater Last Even
ing, Transfers But the First
Part of This Story of the
Cumberlands to the
Boards, Dealing Mainly
with Chads Intense Love
Of His Dog.
By JULIA CHANDLER.

In his dramatization OF The Little
Shepherd Of Kingdom Come Eugene
walter has transferred to the stage but
a portion of the story Of the Cumber-
lands which John Fox, jr., gave US in
his novel Of the same name the four
act play, which had its first presenta-
ton on any stage at the Belasco Theater
last evening. having to do only with
the early life and struggles of Chad and
covering but year in time.
The tale commences in the autumn of
1888 in front OF the home in which the
little waif has been adopted. We find
the boy desOlate in the death Of his low
ing protectors; eager to fee the heavy
hand Of Nathan Cherry who swears that
the child is bound out to him for q
period Of seven years. Befriended only
by his dog, Jack, the boy determines to
run away because Of Cherry's threats
to kill the dog, a purpose in which he
is abetted by Red Fox, and the younger
element Of the Turner clan, whose quick
sympathies go out to Chad in his hatred
Of their common foe, the billions.
The first act witnesses a fierce fight
between Chad and Little Tad Dillon,
with the dog Jack as the bone OF con-
tention, resulting in the orphan boys first
victory over his enemy.
The second act finds Chad a MEM

year has elapsed and Red Fox has
not yet returned from the settlement
where he has gone to establish the family
ties of Chad. To this scene of Joel
Turner'S cabin, at Kingdom Come, the
SrOtesque mOuntainCer finally returns
with his mission accomplished, and Major
Calvin Buford as his companion.
stin in their hatred of the boy
and the Collie, who has fought and
licked their own dog, the billions
bring to the Turner Cabin accusation of
Jacks guilt as a sheep killer. and for
a time it looks dark for the splendid
Collie. as even the school teacher, who
has been his stanchest friend, is forced
TO testify against him. After, a fierce
quarrel the sheriff agrees to Major Bu-
ford's proposition that the dog be given
= tEisI for his life and the remainder of
Of his beloved pet; the clearing of the
ilne animal; the shame of the billions,
caught in their perfidy; the establishment
of Chads kinship to Major Buford, and
the uncovering of Nathan Cherry's deep
laid schemes and crimes.
This little summary makes 1t obvious
that the play is. as the program de-
srribes, "a romance of three waifs-a
how. 2 gf~I md a dOg''-although 1t must
be admitted that the romantic element
Is but a flimsy thread.
Interest Centers not therefore in the
love of the boy and girl but rather IN
the little chap and his great affection for
his dog. Chad is just boy and we love
him. DesOAate he stands In front Of
the cabin emptied by death. and explains

PoIi's-EsC1othes."

The Poll Players have put over in
fine shape a moderniZed version of
Clothes" the comedy OF humor and
fashion by Charming Pollock. which
afforded Grace George an excellent
starring vehicle for a long New York
run, and was recently revived by Miss
George for a brief period. The piece
is a clever satire on the foibles and
frivolities of smart society, and offers
the Poll company some excellent op-
portunities for characterization as
well as afrording a distinct triumph in
harmonious stage settings and elabo-
rate costumes of the latest mode. In
point of smoothness, finish and artis-
tic value, Clothes" is one of their
best productions.
The new play, which is in four acts,
is woven lightly about a gown. Olivia
Sherwood is living in an atmosphere
of luxury and social display where
life becomes "the survival of the best
fitted" Her shares of stock are really
valueless, but the lawyer who attends
to her financial affairs conceals the
truth from her and supplies her with
money. Though not yet divorced from
wife whom he does not love, he
hopes to win Olivia, but she, driven
by the need of smart apparel, plans
to marry a rich lover. The source of

but not before she has come to love
the man of wealth, and after a series
of troublesome Observation-Disclosures, ev-
erything is Strengthened out happily
and convincingly.
The performance last evening witnessed
the return to stockholm Of Maude Gilbert.
the former leading woman of Polls
whose popularity with Washington au-
diences has not waned for all her year
in the pictures. Miss Gilbert was accord
ed a most enthusiastic welcome last even
ing and was the recipient of a great
armful of gorgeous flowers. Her por-
trayal Of Olivia Sherwood is given with
appealing charm and sincerity, coupled
with an irresistible girlishness.
A. H. Van Buren, as Richard Burbank

his isolated position. A pathetic little
figure he kneels and explains to God his
necessity Of flight and down in the
hearts of US we feel the strings tight

Jack in the open court OF a mountain
clearing, and proves the perfdy Of the

the way through from first to last of
the play that has small interest outside
of his personal struggles Master Jack
Davis embues his characterization of
Chad with beautiful simplicity and much
natural grace, impressing his auditors
with the mate refinement which the final
establishment of his parentage tustifies.
In his effort to inject into a comedy of
character a romantic element Mr.. Wal
ter has forced the situation and struck
a distinctly insincere note in Melissa,
little girl who is quite too young in
years to be capable OF such tender pas
sions as the playwright has forced her
to assume. Allowing for the unusual
freedom and license OF her environment
the auditor is yet unable to accept the
mature emotionalism OF this child who
Come" under her loving and protective
wing the first moment she sets eyes on
him declaring that Thy people shall
be my people: thy God my God" or
words to that effect.
From this time on Melissa's interest in
Chad is subject to violent bursts OF pas
sion at the slightest suggestion that cir
cumstanCes may at any time remove
him from the Kingdom Come vicinity,
resenting even the possibility of an edu-
cation for the boy for fear 1t may
him from the mountain life and
his associates there.
A wild, gypsy-like thing, Melissa
knows no law save that of her fierce
little self, but frequently furnishes a de-
nghtful picture, as visualized by Mona
Hungerford, in her turkey red frock
against the picturesque mountain set
ttngs.
Aside from Chad, the dog, and Melissa,
the remainder of the cast presenting
The Little Shepherd of Kingdom
Come" is faithful to the type of Cum
bertrand mountaineer who lives in his
feuds and hates, and succeeds in hold
ing this spirit Of bitterness and enmity
as a dominating feature OF the story.

Edgar MacGregor has staged 1.-THE

much of that beauty and elaboration of
mountain scenery which characterized
the production of Mr.. Walters drama
tzauon Of THE Trail of the Lonesome
