closed yesterday at the Garden, and
which will be on exhibition for the
last times at that house today and
tomorrow. william s. Hart. screen
exponent of virile types OF American
manhood, is pictured in this new cam
era story as Cliff Hudspeth. whose
pseudonym Is THE Killer" and who
records in a gruesome little notebook
certain details of the taking Off OF
men who have annoyed him. II Is his
boast. however. that he has never
killed a man who did not deserve his
fate.
Hudspeth's point OF view Is changed
when he meets a girl. who brands him
"a cowardly murderer" At FIRST he
resents her words and wreaks his
grudge on her by KIDNAPPING her. A
few days association with the young
woman. however, brings him to a re-
alization OF her superiority to him

releases her from captivity and sends
her back to her people. Later. when
loneliness grips him, he follows the
girl to her home. and arrives just in
time to defend her from the attack of

Appreciative Audience Greets
Opera Week at BeIasco
Theater.
MILE. FERRABINI AN ARTIST
Her Finished Art Registers
Sympathetic Portrayal Of
Cigarette Girl.

A large and appreciative audience
greeted the San Carlo Grand Opera
company at its opening performance
at the Belasco Theater last evening,
when the week of opera began aus
piciously with Carmen"
There is always a charm In Bizets s
opera, Carmen" with its stirring and
its seductive music. This proved the
case. not alone under the vital sway
of the baton OF Chevalier Carlo
Peroni, but chiefly in the lure OF a
highly dramatic, subtle,s and convinc-
ing Carmen as played and sung by
Ester Ferrabini.
Singing the role in its original
French, while the rest of the opera
was mostly in Italian. Mile. Ferrabini
proved herself an artist who has reg
istered a new Carmen on the mem
ory. With a. voice that Is not great
she yet possesses a warmth OF tone
and a finished art in her singing that
brought beauty and depth into her
portrayal of the care-free cigarette
girl of Spain. Personality, distinc-
tive beauty, and individuality through
all the moods of this capricious child
of nature, has made the Carmen OF
this 1.-THE Italian a distinct creation.

rose to dramatic heights OF excel
lence, though his voice seemed often
hard and somewhat strident. Giu-
seppe Ballistini. as Escamillo, was
most effective In tho Toreador song
that was given with fine spirit and
voice. The Michaela of Luisa Darclee
was often more brilliant than sym
pathetic. She received flowers after
her third act aria.
The entire tavern scene was par
ticuIarIy effective, the light quintet
in IL being given with delightful
musical worth. The remaining cast
was well sustained by Natalie Cervi,
Luciano Rossini. Pietro de Biasi, l..
DeIIemolle, Alice Homer, and Anna

PACIFISTS REBUKED
BY 'THE PEOPLE,
"PIay Of the Moment" Pro-
duced at the Casino, Has
Excellent Cast.

Probably there was an exclamation
Of surprise from the paSifist, IL there
was one in the Casino Theater last
night, when The People" rightly
described as the 'play OF the mo
ment," closed without a plea for ma
tional denunciation of militarism
And IL the pacifist who witnessed this
play did not go away with food for
sober reflection and thought, moth
ing less than a visit of the Kaiser
with his armies to Americas coast
will awaken him from dreams.
Mime. Yorska, noted French actress
brings to The Peaple" a depth OF
feeling that the plot of the play does
not really deserve. but she makes
the audience recall memories OF the
story OF Joan OF Arc. No parallel to
the character OF the woman portrayed
by Nine. Yorska could be drawn. with
due respect for accuracy aud precis
ion. but IL included a vision OF Joan
of Arc leading the victorious armies
OF France.
Royal Scion n Hero.
THE People" is in five episodes. in
cluding a prologue and an epilogue.
The lowering OF the curtain at the
conclusion yof the prologue signifies
a lapse of twenty-five years. in which
period a son of royalty, supposedly
killed in infancy, lives with the fam
lily Of a peasant in blissful ignorance
OF his true position.
Nature is no respecter Of human
distinctions. and when she shows
David, the boy in the peasant home,
e. ~ - 1I. haN
she awakens in the King the fond wish
that he had such a son.
II Is not until the last episode that
the relation Of father and son is
established. In his conduct the youth
has met the highest desires of the
King and upon the death of the mon
arch the boy David ascends the
throne with the respect and well
wishes OF the royal family.
The whole play teaches the lesson
OF preparedness, which is brought to
the foreground early in the plot
action. but II Is not until the epilogue
that the distinction between mill
tarism and preparedness is stressed.
Value OF Preparedness.
When King MARS. ruler OF a foreign
power. precipitates a revolt among his
subjects by an overdose OF milItarIsm,
the value OF real preparedness, as dis
tinGuished from Kaiserism. is bluntly
plain.
Mime. Yorska has a good supporting
cast. Miss Fitzjames. as the devoted
nurse who smuggles the royal child
away rather than kill il at the behest
OF its mother. Is an emotional actress
Of talent Mr.. Evans is excellent as
King MARS. and Mr.. Goulding. as
David. leaves nothing undone to make
OF that role an excellent bit OF por-
traiture.
Marian Creighton. author Of The Peo-
ple." has shownsforesight in producing
auch a play at such a time OF national
crisis. 1t Is a play Congress would do
well to see and study.
