In the Play World
The Goal Gate" Vivid Feat.
ure of Workshop Matinee
at the Comedy
By HAYWOOD BROUN

Lady Gregory's triumphant little
tragedy, "The Goal Gate" was the feat
ure in the benefit performance of the
Theatre Workshop at the Comedy yes
terday afternoon. This play has been
seen now and again in the repertory
Of the small theatres since il was first
brought to this country BY the Irish
Players. Lady Gregory's fame is grow
ing steadily. Her work was underesti-
mated during the tour of the Irish
Players because it was dimmed in as
ISOLATION with the surprising genius Of
Synge.
Naturally, We do not think that Lady
Gregory has approached Riders 10 the
Sea-" but there is no denying the fact
that her plays hold the stage more
surely than those of Synge. II her
genius is less she also demands less.
The Lady Gregory plays are not diff
cult 70 act. Written for the Abbey,
they have invaded the world. National
ism has not cramped them, Cor in
picturing the freshman Lady Gregory
has in many cases achieved the man.
A company unframed in the methods
Of the Irish theatre gave an excellent
performance of THE Coal Gate Miss
Katherine La Sale, truant from "The
Thirteenth Chair" did very well as the
wife. and Mary Rehan was also exceed
ingly effective as the mother. The
glorious moment when the women learn
that their man was no traitor, but a
hero who died 70 save his fellows, was
handled with fine spirit and skill.
The rest of the bill was made up OF
"A Dear Little Wife" by Gerald Dunn,
in which Reginald Barlow took part
Oliphant Downs Maker Of Dreams"
and "A Midsummer Dance Dream" "
which the programme ascribed to
"Anna Bird Stewart and William
Shakespeare" Shakespeare has done
better stuff. The new piece is not TO be
compared with his Hamlet" his MAC
beth" or even his Merry Wives OF
Windsor" which had promise. in spite
of the fact that il failed to catch the
New York public when recently pro-
duced The new piece is much more
mournful than usual, but some of the
lines are good. and speech about the
quality Of mercy has distinct literary
flavor which is seldom found in our
theatre except in the plays Of Percy
Mackaye.

ffrom a star Correspondent, o. The Ttibunel
Washington, March 2.-The Congress
sional Union. which has made so much
violent suffrage history in its three
years of life, passed out of existence
to-day with scarcely a ripple. With a
meeknes5 strangely out of character,
II voted itself over 70 the Woman's
Party. TO have and TO hold and to fight
for suffrage as the latter should de-
cree. The Woman's Party is the or
ganizatiOn of voting women OF the
West, and has 1000 more members
than the Union, so there is no doubt
about the preponderance Of power
Still, as Miss Doris Stevens pointed
out. what are numbers beside cold
cash? The Eastern women will still
hold the purse strings, so long as Mrs.
q. ii. p. Belmont and her friends con-
tinue to smile upon the organization.
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch and
Miss Fola La Toilette were the only
women 10 offer any objections 10 the
proposed union this morning. Mis- La
Toilette was afraid Of the softening
influence Of the conservative" West
erners.
I'VE must DO something to safeguard
our militant policies" she said amid
shouts of pleasure. THE Western
women think they arc terribly radical
II they only hold street meeting. and
! know that many of the things the
Congressional Union has done here
have shocked them"
Nonsense" cried Mrs. william
Kent, of California, the only people
who join US are the people with pep,
and pep is the same, whether it comes
from California or New Jersey"
Miss Paul's Views Win
The wishes of Miss Alice Paul pre-
vailed, as always, and the merger went
through with the phantom Of the Con
servative" Westerner laughed out Of
existence.
The lure Of the picket was too strong
to-day for most Of the out-of-town
delegates, especially when II began 20
hail. and there was chance TO wear
those perfectly fetching yellow slick
crs ard rubber hats. II was a bad
day, so bad that the men who were
decorating the grandstands for the
Inauguration knocked off work at 3
o'clock, but the sufragists held their
ground until o'clock.
"Wcll need skates as well as goloshes
II this sleet continues" grumbled one
whose zeal scarcely lasted across the
street.
ITS not half so bad as the hike"
chirped little Miss Lavinia Dock. who
came all the way from Pennsylyania
as a memorial to the famous hike"
of four years ago. when General
Resale Jones led the suffragists on

Music of Yesterday
Mime. Farrar Repeats He,
Success in First Sans
Gene" of Season

Madame Sans-Gene" possesses Ma
poleon Bonsparte, Fouche, the Duke Of
Danzig and Nine. Geraldine Farrar;
also three good tunes-the "Ca Ira"
the "Carmagnole" and "The Marseii-
laise" The part played by Signor
Giordano is a minor one. He furnishes
more or less effective incidental music,
and, in the second act, two airs which,
sung as Nine. Farrsr and Signor Mar
tnelli sang them last night, are not
without appeal. Musically, the opera
is trivial. not TO be compared with the
same composers Andrea Chenier." l.
is without inspiration, work OF mere
craftsmanship.
What success the opera may have -
and last nights audience was large-is
due to Sardou, to the glamour that ever
surrounds the name of Bonaparte and
TO Nine. Farrar. The play is Sardou az
his best. 1t possesses richness or
color, humor and atmosphere. The sec
ond act il admirable, and Nine. Farrar
plays it with a wealth of fun. In fact
she is throughout delightful. Napole-
onic Paris suits her better than Alex
andria. With her Caterina huDscher
she has buried the memory Of her
"TbaTs." and it isn't our fault if next
week or the week after she resur-
reefs il.
Signor Amato's portrait Of Napoleon
is one Of the most satisfying things
the Italian BARITONE has given ". IL
NAV be conventional, but so is the
character of Sardou. We all have

personation of Lefebvre. while Signor
