"Princess Pat Has Snappy
Llbretto and Lovely Score
Operetta Proved Distinct Delight Last Evening to Belascc
Theater Audience Which Chortled Appreciation of
Blossom Epigrams and Reveled in Herbert Music

second act, We are shown why he did It.
The witness is the prisoners little eight
year-old daughter, and the scene of her
narrative Is his home, where his wife
welcomes him lovingly on his return from
a business trip and then skaters his
composure by Inadvertently disclosing
her relations with his friend. The wife's
desperate efforts to prevent the revela-
ton under the husbands merciless cross
Questioning furnish strong emotional
scene. The mans motives are now un-
derstood, but the young wtfe's position
Is not clear. 1t is necessary to go fur
ther back.
So in the third act the prisoners wife
appears on the stand to tell the story of
her betrayal by the murdered man long
years before. We are carried to a road
house on Long Island and see the pltiful
familiar episode of the deception by the
married roue Of the innocent, conrdng
girl of seventeen. When the tale Is
ended in the courtroom the effect on
the sympathies of the jury is obvious
An epilOSue shows some OF their delib-
erations in the jury room and adds a
final scene in court containing surprises
and complications not touched on in this
account.
1t will be observed that as a plot
the story is wholly devoid of novelty,
are brought into play with a power
and realism not often equalled. 1t is
a gripping play. presented with much
earnestRess by a cast OF the strongest
quality. The depletion of intense emo
tion by Frederick Perry as the de-
fendant is perhaps the most notable
feature of the acting. but the work of
Frederick Truesdell as the dead
man" was also remarkable. Miss
Marie Leonhard, a handsome young
English actress, gives some wonder
full moments to the trying role of the
prisoners wife and her performance
is creditable throughout, though at
the climax of her testimony she seems
to fall just short of a convincing note.
Miss Eehel Downie. as the little girl,
is very true and appeals strongly TO
the synpathies.
The scene shifting is so wonderfully
rapid that one wonders why it can
not be SO in other kinds of plays, and
the thought arises that perhaps the
competition of the movies has de-
veloped unsuspected extensions of the
agility of stage hands.

NatIOnaI-"Ou Trial"

Aristotle, WHO invented the Dramatic
mites, never saw a movie show, and in
this respect was at a serious disadvantage
as compared with Elmer L. Reizenstein,
author Of On Trial" the play Of emo
tiOn given for the first time in Washing
ton at the National Theater last night.
Those same unities have long been dis
carded as a practical guide for the work
ing dramatist, but at least they have
been held in respect as a dim ideal Mr.
ReiZenstein. taking a mere hint from a
certain form of screen story, has dealt
such a staggering blow to the Time
Unity that henceforward it will scarcely
show its face on Broadway. Not merely
separating his episodes by lapses OF time,
he absolutely reverses the sequence and
tells his story backwards And he tri-
umphs. The unusual treatment is efrec-
tive not merely because It is novel, but
because the mystery Of the tale is logi-
cally unfolded to the audience by that
method.
The sympathies Of the audience are
first enlisted on behalf of a man in des-
perate plight. sick, cOwed. and reckless
OF his fate, admitting his guilt Of the
crime for which he is on trial for his
life. The widow Of the man he has mur-
dered is called to the stand and begins
her testimony. TIE lights go out and the
vision Of the audience is shifted swiftly
to the scene OF the crime. We see a
quarrel Of Jealousy and a reconciliation
between the witness and her husband,
bringing out the mans despicable char
scter. The prisoner enters, hears the
husband talking on the telephone to a
woman whom he calls by name, and
shoots him dead The scene shifts back
to the courtroom and We hear the con-
clUsion OF the widows testimony

Gayety-"T'he Sporting widows"

''The Sporting Widows" containing a
number OF burlesque notables and an un-
usually large company OF entertainers
is the attraction at the Gayety this
week. The producers, Jacobs and Jer-
m on. have avoided all senblance OF what
is styled "old time burlesque," and are
presenting a gay musical revue. II is
a miscellaneous collection of vaudeville
numbers. every performer for himself,
catchy music and lots OF II. especial at
tention to the selection of girls. and last
but by no means least the movies are
a part OF the entertainment.
Ruth Lockwood excellently leads in the
many lively tunes, with a fetching per-
sonality and good singing voice. John
ME Barry, in the conventional tramp
character. is genuinely funny. Other
principals really deserve mention for
their clever work, but the limited space
permitted would not permit of an in
dividual notice, so none can be slighted
by the statement that it is, singularly,
a company OF singers who can sing, and
dancers who can dance.
The nature of the show would indi-
cate the importance of the chorus, and
no disappointment is felt, for the girls
seen too many winters.
The jmpersonations are cleverly done,
those of Nat Wills and Charlie Chaplin,
by Billy Evans and Johnnie Barry re-
spectively, being quite good. The pic
lures of 'Germny at War" contain
thrillers such as aerial fights between
airships and Zeppelins and other inter-
esting views of the great war.
