At Other Local Theaters
NationaI-'sThe Hons. of Glass"

NationaI-"The House of Glass
Somehow, when the coming Of THE
House of Glass" to the National Thea
ter was announced, and 1t was de-
scribed as another great police
drama" the thought was not exactly
appetizing We have had SO many of
that strtpe-the policeman and the
crook have been viewed from so many
angles. hateful and heroic-that it
seemed scarcely reasonable to look for
any fresh SAVIOR in an old stew. But
Max Marcins play, as presented by
the same splendid cast that carried 1t
to success in New York, will give a
jolt to the most faded thrill-seeker
who visits the National Theater this
week True. it is a crook play. an
emotional melodrama. II the label
must be displayed. but it is a play OF
big men and strong emotions, power
fully depicted by a writer with a
knowledge of life and a feeling for
actuality.
''On Trial" is the recent play that
it most resembles in spirit; and there
is also a striking reminder OF the pro-
duCtiOn of that drama in the strength
nd sincerity of the acting. Miss Mary
Ryans success insrendering the har-
rowing emotions of the heroine is
notable. The part is trying in the
extreme, but Miss Ryan sounds the
true key in every phase, from the
joyous abandon of the innocent young
stenographer about to be married, in
the first act. TO the shattering efforts
of exposure and confession in the final
crisis.
But Cohan and Harris. the produc-
ers, must also be credited with an
unusual triumph in obtaining, for the
four or five leading male parts are
players who are capable of giving
credible aspect to the strong person
alities they portray.
Foremost Of these is Frederick Burt
as Harvey Lake, railroad manager
of decisive. determined type. Harry
&C. Browne has the part of the import
ant railway attorney, who bubbles over
with fun and sympathy outside his
office Thomas Findlay gives a plaus-
ible portrait of the relentless, incor-
ruptible, but sympathetic detective
William Walcott completes the group
as a powerful fnancier. There are
several other important male charac-
ters, and all OF these, as we'll as the
minor feminine roles, are excellently
cast.
The play tells the story of a young
stenographer who becomes engaged to
thief and is innocently involved in
his crimes. She serves a term in prison
and escapes by breaking parole, later
marrying a young Western railroad
official. The husband is stern and un-
yielding in his attitude toward crimi-
nails and the tense situations of the
drama arise from the wife's fear OF
disclosure Of her secret and from the
final success of the police officers

in the plot, other than excitement and

against a too rigorous and relentless
application of police power.

Appeal of "The Boomerang"
Enhanced by Excellent Cast
By THE PLAYGOER.

THE Boomerang" which David Belasco
presented last evening at the theater
which bears his name, is a delicious
comedy. Nobody in the cast seemed to
be trying to be especially witty, or beau
tiful. or talented in any particular. Per-
haps for that reason the spontaneity of
the humor was the more effective. The
Boomerang exemplifes anew the anaz-
ing genius OF David Belasco for present
ing a story in its very best light
1t seems DR.. Sumner has just employed
beautiful Virginia Xelva as office atten-
dant and nurse, when Mrs. Woodbridge
calls to consult him about the nervous
condition of her son, Budd, who has
grown melancholy and lost weight. The
physician discovers that Budds ailment
is nothing more than jealousy of Grace
Tyler, with whom he is desperately in
love, and who has recently treated him
with indifference. Virginia is installed
in the Woodbridge household as nurse for
Budd, and Grace soon falls prey TO
jealousy herself. the object of which is
Virginia. No sooner has DR.. Sumner won
the battle for his patient, however than
he himself becames a prey to causeless
jealousy. He mistakes Preston de Witt
for a successful conQueror of Virginia q
heart. 1t dawns upon him that he cannot
live without her, and he is now as Jealous
as was Budd. But this state Of affairs
does not last; explanations are made,
and.
It Is difficult to make distinctions in
the brilliant cast which interprets this
sparkling play. Martha Hedman Is an
artistic and pictorial delight as Virginia.
while Arthur Byron and Wallace Eddin-
ger were equally effective as the doctor
and his love-lorn patient. Ruth Shepley
was a pretty Grace, and Ida Waterman

DR.. MontgOmery's talk was a plea for
men OF conviction and a deprecation of
