GARRICK-"The Monster. I"

II crane Wilbur sought to give the
pubic something truly horrifying
when he wrote THE Monster" let it
be settled once and for all that he
succeeded far beyond the widest
ropes of even the most fancifui mind.
The Monster" which opened at the
Shubert Garrick last night for
weeks stay. would literally freeze the
stanchest of hearts and is undoubt-
edly the most amazing melodrama
ever offered in Washington.
Six characters only appear on the
stage. and each is portrayed excep-
tionally well. Suzanne Caubet and
Howard Lang give exhibitions of ex-
cellent artistic ability. Crane Wilbur
the author. takes the part of the hero.
of course, but his role calls for far
less dramatic ability than that of Mr..
Lang. Walter James, Frank McCor-
mack and Michel Martin complete the
cast. II for nothing else. the audience
IS Indebted to Mr.. Mccormack for
having furnished excuses for laugh
ter on numerous occasions when
nerves seemed about to snap
THE Monster Is one Dr. Ziska, i'm
personated by Mr.. Lang. an insane
surgeon. who is possessed of the hal
much to the progress of civilization
If he can but find human subjects for
vivisection. He conceives the fearful
idea of causing automobiles to crash
through a bridge near his dismal
home and then stealing the victims
before help can arrive.
One of these is Mile. Caubet, as Julie
Cartier. Crane Wilbur. as Alvin Bruce,
a reporter sent out to discover the mys-
terious disappearance of other motorists
in the vicinity Of DR.. Ziska's home, sees
the accident, however: drags Miss Car
tier from beneath her machine and un-
Willingly carries her into the very house
for which she was originally destined by
the doctor. From that moment every
agency known to the human mind, from
awful aspirations to weird mechanical
effects. is brought into play to keep the
nerves Of the audience at the breaking
point.
The dramatic effects produced are re-
nlarkable. Everything is complete, from
the actual wrecking of Miss Carriers
car to the opening and closing of doors
without the assistance of visible human
means. The play teaches no moral
and offers nothing to compensate the
audience for the, tricks it plays. with
their nerves. 1t is simply one terrffy-
ing spectacle after another and closes
with an electrocution in a replica Of the
death chair at Sing Sing.
Those VINO are looking for thrill
those who want to have their nerves
kept on edge for several hours. will find
plenty Of what they are looking for at
the Shubert- Garricll this week.

member OF the present court, with
Lieut.. Commanders James Parker, jr..
and A. d. Denny as members. Kerans
is represented by Henry A. Baker #
the Washington bar, Lieut.. Com
mander r. e. Rogers and Lieut..
Spfer.
There are two specifications. the
first alleging that Kerans threw a
drinking tumbler toward Campbell
and the second that he caused him to
go under the table in the dining hall.
Counsel for the defense moved to
tions on the grounds OF indefinitcness
and failure to properly substantiate
the charge Of hazing. Mr.. Baker ar
gulng the points at some length. He
quoted the definition of hazing in the
present act of Congress and urged
that there were not sufficient grounds
IN either specification to support the
charge.
The court held that the first speci-
fication was not in proper form. but
overruled the objections to the sec
ond. The court recessed in orde- that
the convening authority. the superin-
tendent of the Naval Academy, might
amend the specification.
This Is the first case tried in which
the facts are connected with certain
practices in the dining hall during
meals. which in times past have been
one Of the chief features Of hazing
and against which Admiral Wilson
has specially admonished the mid
shipmen.
