Miss La Rue's Success.

But the real treat of a consistently en-
joyable evening was Miss La Rue. who
stepped from musical comedy into her
first straight piece and back into musi-
cal comedy-in the play itself-with all
the ease OF one accustomed TO such
Jack in the Box tricks. In the first act
when clearing the table at the home one
wondered If her acting was to consist
mostly of moving the furniture around.
But later. in her emotional passages she
displayed surprising and convincing
range, Ill the more striking in one who
has hitherto seemed merely to follow
her voice around She did some real
prima donna temperamentlng in the
last act.
One wasn't allowed to forget that she
OF so long ago hadn't had TO act
for a living. There were a number of
very pleasing songs about flowers and
highways and by ways and things. COM
posed by John Golden, with lyrics by
Miss La Rue and the amusing culmina-
tion OF n homiletic evening was a song.
Dear Me-" which was a sort of vocal
tract Outside of occasional nervous
ness, shown principally in her voice.
Miss La Rue fully lived UP to April,
who changed like her name.
Her co-star looked rather boyish
probably because he's taken off weight
and taken on moustache. Hes tanner
and less oleaginous than before--prob-
ably due TO the astute stage direction of
Winchell Smith--but more intrinsically
diverting. as he proved in his jealous
monologue while a wealthy young man
was counting the new star. OF course
this is. only a bit Of the occasional
hokum I'm the play. The playwright
turns out to be a wealthy young man
masqueradlng as a pauper because he
hasn't wanted the gal he loved TO be
only grateful TO him.
Robert Fischer does some versatile
and effective work as a Franco-P Polish
composer, not only handling his lines
but also piano, violin and tea tray.
Camilla Crume, Robert Lowe and othere
in we'll built cast add their excellent
and humanly homely bits to another
golden hit--built upon failures.

Mrs. HSke Returns
in Bright Comedy,
Wake Jonathan
Much Humor of Il Popular
Character in Play About Self
Satisfied Business Man.

West Forty-third street was almost as
full of art last nignt as of motors. since
there was new play for Mrs. Fiske at
the Henry Miller Theatre while the new
Town Hall just acros the street held
throng listening TO a discussion of art
that leaned heavily on the theatre. Mrs.
Fiske acted in Wake tip, Jonathan :" by
Elmer l.. Rice and Hatcher Hughes.
Both authors are associated with the
dramatic activities of Columbia Uni
versity. Mr.. Rice is the author of two
plays that won success in "On Trial
end The Witness for the Defence"
The new play is a comedy that passes
in the comfortable, rather well worn but
eminently livable room OF the heroine.
she is married to captain of industry
who is blind to all else in the world but
his material interests. She was in love
with a poetic idealist. Although not
estranged, she and the busnesslike hus-
band do not live together But a visit
brings them again into the society of
one another. simultaneously the ideal
stic friend turns up.
Out of the varying views Of this trio
and its reaction on the children of the
family the comedy Is made. The sue
cessful man of business. capitally acted
by Charles Dalton. egotistically clings
TO his theories in opposition to the less
assertive but enthusiastic advocate Of
other interests in life than those de-
pendent on money. Mrs. Fiske. as the
wife, is on the side Of the friend rather
than the husband in these debates. She
Is urging the possibilities OF Il life that
does not altogether look TO material
prosperity as it's end.

Points the Tale Admirably.

The second generation points the tale
admirably. A counterpart Of the ideal
istic dreamer, II he may be called that,
falls in love with the daughter of the
practical man of affairs. He will not
hear of the match. But when this young
lover is bold enough to get a license and
marry his daughter, whether he will or
not, the father recognizes his force and
delightfully."- accepts him as a son-in-law
and an employee at a large salary
So the play proceeds, offering always
the picture of the contentment that may
come from an enjoyment of the beautiful
things of life as opposed to the constant
glorification of wealth and power. Mrs.
Fiske's part Is of course awaken her
pompous and self-satisfied husband to a
realization Of the truth from her view
point by a process of reductio ad adsur-
dunn. Even his own children prefer the
gentle idealist TO whom their mother was
almost married.at one time. Yet there
are other Freudian implications in the
play. Mr. Rice has been fond OF such a
twist as the second act took when the
legitimacy of the children was in ques-
ton ever since he took from Herman
Bahr's Kinder" the inspiration for a
one act play given by the Washington
Square Players. 1t is Of course unneces-
sary to say that in such purely COM
mercial drama rs wake Up, Jonathan !"
this direction of the interest was alto
gether out OF place.
The externals of the comedy are so
attractive and there Is so much humor
Of a popular character in the second
act that Wake Up, Jonathan" ought
to attract the public for a long time
to come. The ep sodes with the chill
Iren are adro'tly arranged and they are
usually infal!ible in their power to en-
tertain the average theatregoer.

Potent Hero of the Play.

The potent hero OF the piece is more
than a mere millionaire. He must be
gifted with second sight. He was able
to recognize the aft anced of his daugh-
ter In spite OF the fact that he had been
absent for years and. nobody had been
heard TO mention the matter to him.
But such great men possess unsus-
pected powers. Throughout the play
there was more than one evidence that
the piece had been changed from its
original direction in order to bring the
heroine into the foreground.
Mrs. Fislke Is usually nervous at first
performances, but last night she was
all but disqualified from getting through
the evenings work. In the second act
her incisive speech and her sense Of
humor did add to the success of the
play After while she will play the
character as well as she alone interprets
such parts. Her responsibilities in the
drama are light, but they seemed TO
overwhelm her last night. Howard
Lang was admirable as the idealist. The
children were one and all rres stible.
An allegorical drama by puppets indi-
eating the tendency OF the drama pre-
ceded the play. Mrs. Fiske was recalled
so often after the second act that she
had TO make a speech of thanks. And a
very delightful speech ii was even IL she
was nervous.

"DEAR ME" IS 4 DELIGHTFUL
COMEDY COUSIN OF POLLYANNA
Miss Grace La Rue and Hale
Hamilton Head Cast in Play
Latter Helped Write.

Dear Me- revealed at the Republic
Theatre last night, was a joy because 1t
threw the gladsome philosophy. Of Polly
anna right back in her teeth. The slavey
who bore the brunt OF this attack on the
grouchiness and pessimism of others was
lineal descendant of THE Dawn of a
Tomorrow" "Pollyanna" and others of
the aggravating crew who have beei
spreading their castiron gladness.
throughout the theatrical world of late
years.
But in the instance which John Golden
presented last night the girl who ran
about preaching happiness and good will
to others while she was lowly was
caught in the web of her own selAshpess
when she became famous and tripped
over her own grandeur. The trouble
with Poilyannos is that with ali their
altruistic prattlings they're selfish at
eart-they think mainly of the effect on
their own Spul If they can make others
swallow optimism.
Miss Grace La Rue costarred with
Hale Hamilton in this selfish comedy"
devised by Hamilton, in conjunction
with Luther Reed. portrayed very effec-
lively girl whose vaulting ambition
o'erleaped itself and who ate her own
words at one Of those glittering dinners
with which all successful plays must
end nowadays. AS the humble maid of
all work in the Amos Prentice Home
for Artistic Failures she treats the in
mates. elderly men who have been van
quished by life. to homeopathic doses OF
"uplift" bromides. She tells them they
are failures because they're lazy and
cheat their destiny-what they need Is
bit OF thoroughgoing philanthropy
toward others. soothing the stricken
Q-r
point. so forcefully did Miss La Rue
preach this gospel that any relief organ
ization that had collectors ready in the
audience would have reaped harvest.
Comedy Brisk and Delightful.
But when she is taken from the home
by two men to whom she devotes her
attention, violinist, crippled by an
accident. and an unsuccessful play
wright, and starred in musical comedy
they put together she runs ahead OF
them SO fast she doesn't try to see them
through her dust. But finally, in large
part through the reproaches of the
middle aged violinist-cornposer she is
brought to realization of her neglect
OF her beneflcent friends, and aclSnowl-
edges it with tears and much biting of
lips.
Mr.. Hamilton and Mr.. Reed. the lat
ter formerly of THE New YORK HERALD
staff, have written brisk and delight
full comedy, abounding in amusing and
often hilarious scenes and cracking
with lines and ingenious IDEAS that were
simply engulfed by the wide-open mouths
of a hilarious audience. That device OF
the slavey. for instance, of writing to
herself letters in which she upbraided
herself for her shortcomings was not
only amusing but seemed to take SO well
with the spectators that it will be q
good boost for the stationery trade. The
play bore itself with quite an air through
three acts laid in that novel home for

LIVESTOCK BILL FINALLY AGREED
 UPON IN SENATE
Afternoon Session of the Committee of the Whole
 Results Favorably.

The livestock measure, before the Territorial Legislature, and known in the Senate as s. B. No. 38, was discussed for two hours yesterday afternoon in committee of the whole, and at the expiration of the special session the several amend ments made were adopted and the bill recommended that it do pass.
 Besides the Senator's there weie present at yesterdays session, Gov. Thomas Riggs and s. Hellenthal, and both proved valuable in giving suggestions.
 The bill contains an emergency clause and will be so engrossed so that it can begin functioning as soon as enacted in order that dairy men who suffered loss of stock last year can receive reimbursements.
 All reference to livestock, owners of whom will receive partial reim bursement from the Territory. is limited in the present measure to dairy cattle.'
 According to the amendments made to the bill at the Senate ses sion yesterday afternoon, owners of dairy cattle in the First and Third Divisions of Alaska, will receive not more than $50 per head for stock slaughtered Owners of dairy cattle in the Second and Fourth Divisions will receive. not more than $200 Subsequent slaughterings, when dis eases are found among the dairy cattle, will be for the above two amounts.
 The measure, it is said. is purely health measure and not one pro- tecting the dairy cattle industry.

INDIANS TO FISH ON
 YAKIMA RIVER IN MAY

PROSSER, Wash, April 14.-Cp- wards of 500 Indians are expected to assemble here in May and remain well into June to avail themsely es of their ancient salmon fishing rights at Prosser Falls on the Yakima River. This privilege, originally granted the Indians by treaty agree ment with Gov. Stevens about 65 years ago was restored to them by the last Washington State Legisla- ture over the veto of Gov. Louis F. Hart.
 Jack Tolles, Carlisle graduate. former football star and business man is now here making preliminary arrangements for what the Indians hope will be a record catch. The salmon, as they come up the river to spawn are caught by the Indians who use the common gaff hook method Much skill is required to much patience as the fisherman must wait until the fish makes a jump for the falls and then thrust his gaff The fish the Indians bag are carefully dried, salted down and preserved for future use.
 Salmon will start running up the river soon Steelhead salmon are the first to start back to fresh water from the ocean. They begin to ap- pear early in the spring and then the Chinook comes. Indians hold their spring feast when the first salmon appear The squaws are sent to gather roots and the younger Indians go into the mountains for deer bear and into the small streams for fish.
