matter until few days ago, and the rea-
son for this, as stated by one OF the
slgners of the petition, was that nearly
all the ministers were away on their va
cations. 1t is also stated by one of the
ministers that until the movement to stop
Sunday baseball was begun the ministers
did not know that the game scheduled for
tomorrow was to be the last game of the
season. He considers that the fact that
this was TO be the last game was all the
more reason why the baseball team should
have been willing to cancel it.
Some of those in favor of stopping the
game Lad conference with the manager
and urged that the game be. cancelled,
md he put the matter up TO the players,
majority of whom voted to play the
game unless stopped. Their view, as stat
ed to The Reformer today. is that the
petitioners could allow the final game to
be played and thereby prevent further
trouble.
One of the petitioners said today that
the petition to stop tomorrow game was
not based on moral grounds but on the
fact that Sunday baseball is violation
of the law

everything that spells success in the

in the middle register, or great SEN

quahty of a cello. In its upper reaches,
TOO, when she does not force it. it has a
rare purity of timbre. 1t is distinctly
one OF the finest young voices now to
be heard on the concert platform.

MISS terguson's role is quite diff
Ierent from the parts we have seen
her IN lately. She is Gloria of the
Palm Garden" though in reality the
picture was staged in the Palais
Royal. We even recognized some of
the chorus beauties.
And every night at the Garden comes
Judge Malvin who is described as be-
longing to one of the very best fam
lies. He desires to raise Gloria to his
own exalted position, and she is not
averse, until one day she meets Larry.
Day after day she sees him, although
he cannot see her, save with the eyes
OF the soul And there are some per
fectly charming scenes where Gloria
throws her reserve to the winds and
tells Larry that she loves him. Unless
you are absolutely hardened, right here
Is where you are going to weep.
The judge really isn't a bad sort
after all, and he abdcates as grace
fully as possible when he learns that
he must.
1t sounds callous, but we were so
glad that Larry did not recover his
sight and say, "Darling, | knew you
would look just like that And you are
allowed to see Gloria and Larry at the
altar, and before the story ends you
are even allowed to have peep at

Drama
''3 for DIANA Has Its First
Performance at
Bijou
By Haywood Broun

Three for DIANA" which was pro
duced at the Bijou Theatre last night,
is merely an expanded anecdote.
Chester Bailey Fernald's play is in
four acts, but Frank Ward O'Malley
has done practically the same thing in
a sentence. You remember his query,
"Why do men marry Lillian Russell"'
Rcnnold Wolf was able to expand it a
little at Friars' dinner when he said,
"If George Washington is the father
of his country De Wolf Hopper is the
husband" But there are distinct
limits to the fun which can be had
about the man or woman who has
married many times. Twist the sub
ject as you will, maui it, haul it,,
stretch it, and you cannot get four
legitimate acts
Three for Diana is the very simple
story of a woman who has been mar
RED twice and who wants to marry a
third young man who is in love with
her. The young man is equally anx-
lous. 1t is a bit of shock 20 him
when he discovers that she is a widow,
and IN the second act she increases the
tension by telling him that there was
still another husband who died. After
that the story is eked out with the re
actions of two assorted law
who simply will not permit Diana to
marry again. The play lags dreadfully
through the greater part of these two
acts with squirt at the finish when
Dlana suggests that since it would be
so ridiculous to marry third time
the young man might much better be
her lover To this he will by no means
consent, and so they solve the diff
Guilty by agreeing to marry secretly,
and then prtend that they are merely
carrying on an affair.
The twist at the end is we'll written
ana well played and effective, in spite
OF the fact that it is a rather unusual
departure from mood. Four-fift of
the play is farce, and then at the end
1t becomes comedy. This is quite the
reverse of the usual practice We
found the upward break a good deal
more satisfactory than the conyen-
tional smashup of comedy into last-act
farce.
The play is in good taste for the
most part, and contains some little wit
but hardly enough to carry such a thin
allalr through four acts. 1t is inordi-
nately repetitious. Though handi-
N'. VIC PiaSeIS uld amazingly
well! Almost all the acting was good,
and there were at least three capital
performances. Martha Hedman. long
absent from New York, was charming
as the heroine, and John HALLIDAY. as
the hero, and Lillian Brennard. as a
maid, were almost equally effective
Another good performance was that of
Anne Faystone as forward Young
1lapper. George Marion has STAGED

Era T0nguav at Palace

Whether the vogue of Eva Tanguay
is passing or whether there are in
congruities too vast even for vaude-
Vile is hard to say. Yesterdays au-
dience at the Palace Theatre sat silent
in something very like embarrassment
while Eva hymned the glory of her sex
in a song entitled "You've Got to
Hand 1t to the Ladies'" In tights,
crossed at the calves by a very rakish
blue sash, Eva did homage to Jane
Adams, Emmclino Pankhurst, Botch
kareva and the rest Of noble woman
hood Thereafter she sang 81 Want
TO Be a Tattooed Lady in Side
Show" a song whose humor is of a
peculiarly rudimentary sort. And then
she plunged boldly into the "Mar-
soillaise.'

Our Pleasant Sins"
Nncns al Belmont

lhomas Broadhurst's new play. seen
at the Belmont Theatre last NIGHT. is
rather lncomprehensiS IDLY entitled "Our
fleasant SINS" Now, it might much
better have been called Marriage the
ruth Year. since in it's veracious per
ceptlons of married life it seems di-
rectly. derived from that intensive
cnronlcle. The only jutting reef that
Nir. broadhurst sees in the sea OF mat
rlmony IS that of adultery, and that
ne charts so heavily that only the
morally color blind can mistake the
danger signal
10 counteract decadent modern ten
dencies Mr.. Broadhurst booms forth
heavy moral bombardmen.>. How
ever, rectltude is poor substitute for
drama. and OF drama there is next to
none in "Our Pleasant Sins" What
action occurs after hours of plati-
tudinous talk is too belatcd to oc
caslon any interest. And every reader
OF the Woman's page Of an evening
paper can forecast the Incidents of
the play with perfect accuracy without
anv mental strain.
play-the weak young husband who
has involved himself with another
woman; his blunt sister, who has a
heart of gold; the wronged wife. and
the mall friend, who tempts the wife.
The only person who might have in
Jcctcd little spirit into the play, the
other woman is not permitted to ap-
pear. SO after maundering through
three acts of talk, husband and wife
forgive each other and the play is done.
Henrietta Crosman returned to the
stage after several years absence to
play the part Of the blunt sister To
