ROADS OF DESTINY
AT The REPUBLIC
Florence Reed Appears as Star
in Battling Play by Chan
ming Pollock.
SUGGESTED BY O. HENRY
Principle That Fate Rules in
Human Affairs Is the
Basis.

Florence Reed. long admired in New
York for her talents and her glowing
Oriental beauty. was seen last night
at the Republic Theatre In Roads OF
Destiny" written by Claiming Pol
lock. The author attributes the sug-
gestion OF the drama to o. Henry's
short story Of the same name. The
theory that all life is ordained for NOR
tails by fate is the guiding principle
OF the three acts and prologue into
which the action is divided.
Since the character Of the hero goes
through all these divisions of the play,
his adventures are most clearly indica-
tive OF its character. In the prologue
he prevents his brother from commit
ting suicide because the two love the
same girl He takes the pistol away
from him, but the voice OF fate spoken
by Alma Kruger warns him that this
pistol will ever remove anybody who
stands between him and his love. Shn
Is the girl beloved OF the two. In the
first act she is his assistant in per-
fecting an invention, which in the sec
ond act Is about to bring him wealth.
In the third act the two are again at
their homo in the middle West.
Florence Reed played three roles
which were in every case an incarna-
ton Of the same spirit She was the
woman destined to stand between the
hero and his love. 1t was not always
easy to tell just what she was any more
than 1t was easy to keep the threads of
the complicated story clear in the mind
N Its relation to the other characters.
Perhaps for that reason the episodes
AS they succeeded one another made
little impression on the audience.
There was moreover little sense Of re-
ality about the proceedings, SO in
viewed were they in all but the princi-
pie. that II Is fate that directs the end
Of life.
In the first incarnation she was a
Canadian girl in an Alaskan gambling
she loved Again She was a penniless
beauty in Eastern society. and again
she gave her honor and then her life to
bring fortune to the man she wanted
10 make happy. although he loved an
other. Both these roles she acted skill
fully, but they were not projected in a
way to make them vital to the specta-
tors.
Associated with Miss Reed were
some other excellent players dimly
re coSnizabie through their DISCUSSES
and the widely varying scenes. John
Miltern differentiated most character
istically four roles ranging from a
weakling through gaming house
keeper TO a man OF affairs. Edmund
Lowe was not impressive as the hero.
Alma Belwyn made a graceful figure
as the country girl who was really
loved by him,
