THE CLOSED ROAD"
NEXT OFFERING AT ISIS.

Next weeks attraction at the Isis VIII
be THE Closed Road" picture directed
by Maurice Tourneur and with House
Peters and Barbara Tenant IN the lead
Ing roles.
1t is a drama OF prison life with Mr..
Peters cast as an innocent man con-
demned to the death chair. The story
carries the spectator through a swiftly
moving narrative.
The picture carries with It a lesson,
teaching the folly Of crime, and yet prov
ing that many an innocent man Is made
the laws victim through the uncertainty
Of circumstantial evidence. While not in
any sense Of the word a preachment,
''The Closed Road" never the-less adj
vances many sound arguments against
conviction by tho courts on evidence that

PLAYERS ASSEMBLY
TO PRODUCE ANOTHER PLAY.

The Players Assembly. group OF
players which produced with great sue
cess play called "Montmartre," now
running on Broadway, has decided to
make another production for matinee
purposes while "Montmartre" continues
It's popular run. They announced their
desire for new plays and many were sub
mitted. One, "rhe Night Call" was
chosen. 1t is a mystery play and the
name Of the author is quite as deep
mystery as the first part of the play it
self The players now find themselves
seeking the identity of the play they have
selected, and II any one knows any one
who has written a play called THE Night
Call" they Will confer a favor upon the
Players Assembly by communicating that
fact TO them.

ready begun her season, and Il telegram

accompanied by the promise Of substan-
tlal financial guarantees. The invitation
was delivered to the tragedian and his
young leading woman during their recent
San Francisco engagement by Y. NinO-
miya, literary manager Of the Imperial
Theater, who was on a tour Of the world
in the interest Of the japanese drama.
Should the arrangement go through,
Miss Hamper will be one Of the first
white actresses to appear on the Japa-
nese stage, and the first to play an ex
tensive Shakespearan repertoire in the
capital Women, even of Japanese birth,
were, until recently, a novelty on the
stage of Japan. For in the celestial
kingdom, female roles, until a few years
ago, were played by young men and
boys, as used to be the custom in Europe
and in the England Of ShaGespeare's
day In Toxic the custom still persists
largely in comedy, though in tragedy the
japanese woman is coming into her own
as an actress.
According to Mr.. Ninomiya. Shake

already popular on the stage Of Toxic
japanese playgoers, he told Mr.. Mantell

which they are familiar done in the
original language by a master A suf

available in book form, and most of
those customarily staged elsewhere In
the world have been put on the boards.
Hamlet" leads in popularity, with
King Lear" 8 close second. Curiously
enough, the feminine interest in Ham

theory of this IS that the japanese

general Is called strongly into play.
king Lear's popularity may be e1-
planned on the same grounds Of rever-
once for parenthood, this tragedy being
the most bitter expression of the lack Of

NEW YORK, April 8.-For the

prolific occurrence in the past that
the present week has been devoted
to catching up" as It were, from
past omissions. While the season
has been sadly deficient in some re-

new entertainment. The plays have
not always proven successful, but

This is the alternative to an official

means that the various organizations viii
