the most wonderfully vivid picture in mod

breaking crowds to Moore's Strand The
ater yesterday and bids fair to play to
capacity audiences during the remainder
of the week. Everyone in Washington is
talking about the production, which
shows the defenseless position of the
country.
There are three reasons for the popu-
larity OF the photoplay: First, the mic
ture itself. which includes In the cast such
notables as Secretary of War Garrison,
Admiral George Dewey, Maj. Gen. Leon
ard Wood. Dr. Lyman Abbott, Admiral
Sigsbee and Theodore Roosevelt, in addi-

which 1t is presented at the Grand, with

Few artists OF the screen today have

reaches the pinnacle Of pantominic ex-

girl who, having been raised in the en-
vironment Of the underworld. learns her
first lesson in kindness from the young
bachelor who finds her endeavoring to
rob his home. Instead OF turning her
over TO the police, he talks with her and
persuades her to start q new and better
life.
Tho struggle to do right against every
possible obstacle afford this charming
young star exceptional opportunities for

CASINO.
EAST Lynne"

A new version of the old play, East
Lynne" adapted from the original and
staged by Elmer II. Brown, was pre-
sented at the Casino last night by the
Hall Players. The play Is in Ave acts
and eight scenes.
The presentation of the play Is Ia
line with the policy recently adopted by
Manager Falkner TO revive a number
of the emotional dramas that were
popular years ago.
Miss Jane Ware is cast as Barbara.
while the leading masculine role OF
Archibald is allotted to Louis Ancker.
Miss Ware gives a very careful and
finished Characterization of the part and
her work in the more emotional scenes
was especially good. Miss Louise Kent
is seen as lsable Carlyle and lives up
to her reputation as an actress of ability
in her INSTALLATION OF the role.
The story OF East Lynne" while
known to those who frequent the theater
and to the thousands who have read the
book, has lost none OF its charm. It is
touching story of foolish woman
and the strength of a mothers love. In
its hold upon the public 1t ranks with

The announcement of George Broad
hursts thrilling melodrama, THE Law
OF the Land" at Polls. was sufficient
to crowd the spacious Avenue play
house last evening, and the popular
players provided a performance unique
in stock company excellence.
Among recently successful thrillers
few have taken a stronger hold on
Broadway's favor than this compelling
play, which will be remembered as one
Of the best vehicles for her talents
that Julia Dean ever had, and the role
of the distraught wife now affords
Florence Rittenhouse admirable op-
portunities for some remarkably real
istic acting.
The reasons for the melodrama's
popularity are obvious. and in the
hands of the Poll company. 1t may be
said in all truth that its merits suffer
no eoncealment. Mrs. Harding is the
wife of prominent lawyer, who
treats her with such brutality that
she shoots him dead when he attempts
to use a horsewhip on her little son.
She has, however, had a secret liaison
for some years past with Godfrey
Morton, whom she deyotedly loves, and
OF whom Harding is intensely jealous
Upon the discovery by Harding that
his supposed son is In reality Morton's

that Mrs. Harding shoots him. In the
next act II develops that a friendly but

until accidental proof begins to connect
Norton's visit with the murder.
1t is then the wife had to choose be-
tween confession. of the crime and the
resultant scandal to- herself and her
child. or the spectacle of her lover being
condemned for murder. Morton insists
on shouldering the crime, and urges her
to consent to sacrifice him in order to
save the future of their son. She con-
fesses. however. to a kindly police in
spector, who has a newly-bOrn set of
twins Of his own, and he therefore con-
cluded from her confession that "the
gun fell and was accidentally discharged,
shooting Harding through the heart"
The natural exhibition of grief and
terror displayed by Miss Rittenhouse as
the wife was a most admirable slmula-
ton. With all due respect to her pre-
decessor in the part on Broadway. II
must be said that she played with more

Between Men,"

The crowded condition of Moore's Gar
den Theater yesterday fully demon
strated the extreme popularity of William
S. Hart. who headed the double feature
program In Thomas 1nce's photographic
masterpiece. Between Men" In this
production Mr.. Hart essays an entirely
new line OF Characterization. In the first
part of the picture he appears as a
strong, rugged westerner. and later on
In New York he develops into a political
man of the world.
Briefly stated, the story tells how a
big-hearted Western mining man in graft
tude for needed help responds to the call
of a friend and aids him to foil a pseudo
friend in Wall Street. Mr.. Hart's many
admirers will be agreeably surprised
with his work in this picture, for his
characterization is on a higher plane than
any of his previous roles, and in his sup
port are House Peters, best remembered
for his work as Stephen Ghent in THE
Great Divide" Enid Msrkey, Bert
Wesner, J. Barry Sherry, Robert McKlm
and others.
One of the big scenes IN "Between Men"
depicts a stirring fight between Mr.. Hart
and Mr.. Peters, during which they pretty
