Foggy weather conditions, however,

Seldom in recent years at least has
Washington audience showed its
appreciation OF a new play with such
whole-hearted enthusiasm and utter
abandon as did the large crowd that
last night filled the Belasco for the
first performance OF Tiger Rose."'
which David Belasco presented.
There was nothing half-hearted
about the applause at the end OF the
second act, and after. the final cur
tain the audience showed no inclina.
tion to leave until after the handicap
ping, calls for Belasco and occasional
cheers had brought first all Of the
members of the cast to the footlights,
and finally Mr.. Belasco for a charac-
teristic word OF thanks.
Frankly a melodrama with nothing
startlingly original about the theme
or treatment, Tiger Rose" provides
two hours OF entertainment during
which interest is kept at high pitch.
There are thrills upon thrills, and the
element of suspense is skfllfully
utilized. Two of the chief factors in
making the play one OF the most
pleasing the Capital has seen in long
time were the wonderful stage setting
Mr.. Belasco has provided and q cast
whose handling of the story is nearly
perfect.
The story is a gripping one OF the
great Northwest. made familiar OF
late by magazine stories and the
movies, with love story of un-
usual appeal

willard Mack. author of the play,
has the other role about which in
terest centers. As the daShinE con-
stable. Michael Devlin, OF the Royal
Northwest mounted police. he pleased
the audience with his portrayal OF the
Irish soldier with characteristic wit,
brogue, and blarney. William Court
leigh is the Dr.. Dan CusicL, Thomas
Findlay the factor, Calvin Thomas the
Bruce Norton, the young engineer
whom the girl loves. Fuller Mellish has
q quaint character part as Father

From a scenic standpoint Tiger
Rose" is even more beautiful and
effective than Mr.. Belasco's former
successes The storm scene and the
sunrise over the deserted cabin
brought a storm of applause, and the
entire setting to the minutest detail
was In typical Belesco style.
