As We We're Saying

Guilty" Having indicated the over
whelming nature OF the case against
the innocent man on trial, and having
let the audience see his discontinue at
the hands Of a clever lawyer, Thomas
drops the curtain and leaves the rest
to your imagination. He might have
gone further and have left the last
scene to the same legatee. This scene
is laid just outside the death house of
Sing Sing prison, and it is decidedly
unpleasant, particularly as Thomas has
hit upon the device of suddenly dim
ming the current in the light at the
door. to indicate that now the execution
Is in progress. IL must be said for the
drama tist that he has had the courage
TO carry his theme out to the end with
out making any concessions to the au-
dience in the matter of last minute re-
prieves and all th11. Most of us are
gloom and even horror for the sake of
lofty tragedy. but Nemesis is not
good tragedy. 1t is not even good melo-
drama. There is no theme in it lofty
enough for tragedy. To be sure, it is
play against circumstansial evidence,
but whatever vitality may have been
in this theme mas been exhausted by
regiments Of dead playwrights and nov
elists. More specifically, Nemesis" is
an anti-fingerprint play, but this is a
subject too special to be of much use as
basis for tragedy. Nor can it be said
that the case as built actually plants
any serious doubts in the mind as to
the usefulne ) OF this sort of evidence.
Some further reason must be sought.
Perhaps Mr. Thomas has left finger
prints some place, on some old play
of which he is now ashamed, or some
thing like that, and has accordingly
set out to destroy the validity of all
such evidence.

''The Circle Triangle Play
For Mrs. Carter and John Drew

THE din Of that strife that lately
VI stirred London playgoers over
Somerset Maugham's new tri-
angle play, "The Circle" is to be trans
ferred to Broadway. The announce
ment in the week past that the Sell
wyns would present Mrs. Leslie Carter
and John Drew in this play sent all
public welfare workers to the files of
London reviewers to read the baron
eter of the coming storm.
The critics sum it up as a study in
cynicism and the unsavory. "Somer-
set Vaughan has not yet made up his
quarrel with the world" comments The
Daily News. SIN all his plays you may
find certain hardness Of judgment,
which sometimes becomes actual
cruelty, and is dramatically expressed
by caricature and exaggeration He
hates sham and insincerity. and that
hate is great quality. But he some
times allows it to warp his plays. This
is rather the fault of The Circle"

AT the Hippodrome

On Tuesday, at the H:ppodrome,
there wiN be celebration of the six
teenth anniversary of the big play
house, which has become almost q
national institution in the minds of
the pleasure loving public. "a Yankee
Circus on Mars" was the first spectacle
presented by Thompson and Dundy
then the managers of the house and the
an entertainment housed in that par
ticular sort of theater. Time has jus
tilted their belief in the plan. How
ever, 1t has been under the manage
ment of Charles Dillingham; that the
greatest success of the Hippodrome has
been achieved. He inaugurated his
regime six years ago by bringing to
America Charlotte and her ice ballet
and made Sousa's Band a part of the
big spectacle. He presented Pavlowa
and her Russian ballet, and Annette
kellermann in sensational diving acts
and has brought European artists OF
every branch in the amusement line to
the Hippodrome for our delight and
qualification. In offering the congratu-
lations proper to the occasion the pub
lie may we'll feel itself entitled to q

and both are proving success
ful in their melodramatic exposition of
the rugged life of Americas prairies.
One, "The Savage and the Woman"
four-act melodrama by Arthur Shir-
ley and Ben Landeck, is nightly filing
the three thousand seats at the
Lyceum. Young Buffalo (Philip Yale
Drew takes the leading part in pro-
duction replete with revolver shots,
pathos, villains, love and gunner. One
critic called the play "a screenless
tilm," but though it may give the Brit
ish public rather hectic impression Of
the present-dsy West, it has proved
tremendously popular.
The other Wild West play is "The
Showing Up of Blanco Posnet," by
George Bernard Shaw. Shaw has
placed his story among pioneers Of
civilization in territory of America"
1t is quite as Wild West as can be de-
sired, with a horse thief for hero, a
real villainess, a sheriff and all the ac-
customed atmosphere. The touch Of
Shavian morality is ever present, how
ever, and the horse thief, who utters
G. B. S. epigrams while waiting to be
lynched, is readily identified as the
same old Shaw in cowboys clothing.
"Blanco Posnet" was first produced
ten years ago by che Stage Society.
The English censor forbade its pro-
duction again-contending that the
play was immoral-and it is not until
now that the ban has been lifted
"Blanco Posnet" is now being played
at the Everyman Theater, in Hamp-
stead, and is drawing large crowds to
see "Shaw's censored play
1t is rather difficult to see just why
the censors prevented the showing of
the play. 1t is true that in parts Shaw
remarks on the craftiness of God and
His perniciors slyness in running after
and Selling His own, but despite these
little critical familiarities the ultimate
conclusions of the story are highly
moral.
Specifically, "Blanco Posnet" is a
real Wild West melodrama. Blanco has
stolen a horse. He is riding away on it,
but gives it up to woman on the
prairie who wants to carry her sick
child to the doctor. Blanco is captured,
and the action of the play centers on
his trial and the philosophy he evolves
from his downfall due to kindness.
There is a delightful scene when
Blanco's brother, reformed drunkard,
pleads with him to live better life,
also eioquently explaining his own
success in the world The brother
says:
you never reflected that when was
drunk I was in state Of innocence.
Temptations and bad company and evil
thoughts passed by me like the sum
lner wind, as you might say; was too
drunk to notice them. When the money
was gone and they fired me out was
fired out like gold out Of the furnace
with my character unspoiled and I'M
! spotted"
Later Blanco, in turn, explains his
own philosophy:
