AFTER three rather gloomy acts, "The
Unknown Woman" 4 new play by
Marjorie Blaine and Stanley Lewis. IN
the fourth and last act reaches T.
scene OF intense dramatic interest by
which q part Of the audience. at lea Vt,
az Polls last night felt itself some
what repaid for its waiting.
The play. in which Marjorie Ram.
beau has the leading part, was pro-
duced for the first time last night.
The plot hinges about the inordinate
ambition OF Joel Emerson, who is
elected Governor Of the state of New
York. He 10 willing to sacrifice every.
full young wife. Her love killed by his
brutality, the wife. Margaret, turns
for moment to Hastings, the man
whom she had loved years before her
marriage, which was forced upon her
by her father. In that brief moment
picion rests upon Margaret's lover. To
prove his innocence he must reveal
the fact that Margaret was with him
at the time. He prefers to face the
electric chair. Margaret wrings a
promise from her husband. the gov
ernor. that he will pardon Hastings
With but six hours before the exc
cution ID to take place. the governor
refuses to keep his promise, and locks
his wife in room in the executive
MANSION TO prevent ner giving evil
dence that might clear Hastings.
Margaret matches her woman's wit
against her husband to save the life
of the man she loves. The scene, which
follows, gives Miss RambeAu an OPP
portunity for fine acting.
Miss Rambeau plays the emotional
roll assigned her admirably; Lumsden
Hare; as Hastings the lover Of Mar
garet, makes the part OF Hastings hu-
man and capable Of drawing the SYM
pathy Of the audience. His acting is
finished and natural. Felix Krembs as
Joel Emerson. in the main. Is good.
others in the cast are: Eugene
Plummer, Hugh pilIman, Dodson
Mitchell, George A. Cameron, Fanny
Bourke, Annie Mack Berlein and Flor
ence Bufdett.
The play IL melodramatic, and the
melodrama is too thickly laid on.
There is too much OF the villain still
pushed her" clap-trap INF evidence.
But this can readily be, eliminated.
There also is too much gloom and too
little talk as it stands today, Much OF
the dialogue Is merely talk.
The play is we'll staged, and for a
"nrst night" ran with smoothness. so
far as the actors were concerned. The
audience, however. at times seemed
indisposed to give the play it's re-
spectful attention.
