"UNWANTED ONE
TENSE AND GRIPPING
Picturesque Chinese Subject Serves
to Point Out Flaws in Our Own
Customs and Manners.

A sort of inverted MADAME Butter
fly story is unfolded in the play produced
last night at The Playhouse, with Chinese
instead of Nipponese color While il seems
on the surface to tell the story of dainty
Chinese girl Of high social position III her
own country who has ventured to cross
the seas to polar Boston, accompanied
only by her nurse from infancy, and the
scion of Beacon Hill family, who has
married her, and incidentally been re-
formed by her, the authors, Forrest
Halsey and Clara Berenger, have more IN

the Boston Brahmins by the advance news
and later by the advent and adventures
Of "rea Flower" as Mrs Rodney Stureis,
and the reflex effect ON Tea Flower herself
of society customs and methods make up
the incidents, which are treated very
piquantly. The ready requirement of
slang and swear words by the Chinese
student of the great American language,
and the differences as to matters of
etiquette which develop are well handled
and appeal to the sense of humor OF the
hearers, most of whom take these as the
basic reason of the play.
There underlie 1t, however. n very
obvious and sincere admiration ON the
and philosophical qualities OF Chinese
character and customs, and AN equally
mordant and scathine scorn of the shaus
and insincerities Of modern society, and
family life in many of its. aspects.
- 1t was necessary for this purpose TO
make the younger son OF the Stirais fam
ily an all around bad lot, and this task
is thoroughly done. The silly, worldly
mother, the selfish quarrelsome elder son
and daughters have as foil the silvery-
haired grandmother: and relieved against
the entire family group is the scheming
vampire who seeks and almost succeeds,
to regain over the hero the empire Of their
childish sweetheart days.
Although the playmaking is lacking in
coherency of purpose, it is very effective

FAST TROTTERS TO
Be HERE JULY 3, 4
Delaware Horsemen's Association
Arranges for Meeting at
Fair Grounds.

Some Of the fastest trotters that ever
flow over Delaware turf will take part in q
fuso-dav racing meet for harness horses at
the Fair Grounds, July 3 and 4 The de-
cision To hold this meet was taken last
evening by the Delaware Horsemen's s
Association at a meeting In the offices of
the New Castle Leather Company.
While this special meet will undoubted-
~ be the most notable event of the local
racing season, it will not be the only one
of great interest to local horsemen. The
Horsemen's Association also decided to
hold the usual Saturday series of races
during the summer, and laid plans for
securing series of entries which are ex-
pected to make these events more brilliant
than those of any previous matinee sea-
son.
Special events will also be arranged in
addition to the big purse races of July
5 and 4. Details of the programs and
entries for these are yet to be worked out,
but the Delaware horsemen are opening
up lines of communication which will
probably result in the appearance OF some
of the swiftest trotting stock in the east
on the local track
j. Writ Willis, president of the Della
ware Horsemen's Association. introduced
to the seventy-ive members present last
night the president of the Union Trottlng
Association, David NJ. Look, of New
York and Kentucky. The famous associa-
tion of which MIR Look is president was
the sire of the Delaware organization, and
its leader is an authority of national re-
pute on racing horses. In an address on
racing and breeding he outlined the pres
ent situation in America and discussed the
prospects of racing for this and future sea-
sons, and gave interesting suggestions as to
the breeding of horses for the turf.
A. IL. Cosdon of New York told the
Delaware horsemen some of the results of
his observation and experience in breed
ing racers. He is widely known as a
breeder of thoroughbreds. and was able
TO make many points of the greatest in
tercst.

some particularly noble sentiment evoked,
in true melodrama style.
The company presenting the play is
highly competent one, giving an added
attraction To the production. Miss
Madeline Delmar, as "Tea Flower" was
dainty and delicate in way that rivals,
if it does not overshadow the several
similar portrayals Of Sino-Americanized
heroines just now in vogue. Withal, she
displays a true sense of dramatic values
and shadings that is worthy of record.
Mabel Bert, as GRANDMOTHER Sturgis,
WAS admirable, and Leah Winslow, as
the mother, Ivy Truutman, and Frances
Nelson, as the daughters, and Margaret
Leslie as Caroline Stockton, the "vamp,"
were not only competent, but shed lustre
on their respective character roles.
