GILLETTE SCORES
IN "DREAM MAKER"
New Melodrama Is Well Written
and Acted and Has Unusually
Original Theme for Story

Broad - With William Gillette's
veteran hand to guide 1t through all
stages, from manuscript to finished
production, It was a foregone conclu-
sion that 1.-THE Dream Maker" would
be at least a skillful bit Of dramatic
craftsmanship. But it is more than
that. Despite the difficulty of really
believing the story 1t tells. one can
quite easily give oneself up to the grip
of the narrative and thrill without
shame at the melpdramatic climaxes
and feel deliciously tinsly as the queer
old doctor. himself an ex. convict, uses
his keen insight into the working OF
crook minds to thwart the gang who
are about to wreck the life Of the
innocent young girl.
1t Is the kind Of melodrama that
might easily descend to the ridiculous
In less capable hands, but. as done
here by sn exceptional cast. it leaves
one with the impression Of very well .
spent evening. And 1t has one merit
that should stamp it as noteworthy.
That Is originality.
Howard f. Morton. the author, has
evolved an unusual idea in this theme
of the man with the Unsuitable thirst
for devious ways. As he has his char
acter say Of the things he got in life,
IF I found could get them honestly
l didn't want them" He was q born
crook. But he carried all through his
life and all through his prison term bis
great love for one woman.
from his wanderings to find the daugh- =
ter of this woman, and his love lives
again. But his crook instinct tells him
unerringly that her supposed friends
are crooks who are planting q scheme
to get wealth that is coming to her, but
OF which she knows nothing. There Is
terrible scene, we'll staged BY the
crooks to ruin her reputation and cost
her her husbands love and her sanity
Is threatened by the awfulness of hel
situation. But the old doctor, in ap-
proved Gillette style, gets the upper
hand of the crooks and forces them tc
Join him In making her believe it was
all a bad dream and everything Is all
right. after all.
Gillette is just about faultless in his
work as the doctor. The part suits hii
individuality and his personality carries
the story successfully over strained sit
uations that would not. in the hands OF
another, bear critical analysis. But Gil.
lctte, rather than the author, surmounts
them.
There is very strong bit Of actint
done by William Morris as the leading
crook. 1t IL as clean cut and convinc
ing a sample of suave villainy as we hav,
seen in many seasons. Myrtle Tanna-
hill. the CROOKS Of the gang. alsc
handles her part skillfully, and Mari,
Haynes. in a maids role stood out well
in minor part.
Unfortunately, the girl whom th'
doctor saves doesn't impress one a.
heing very we'll worth saving--for the
stage, at least-but the rest Of the play
gets along all right in spite OF her.
The setting in which most OF the ac.
tion takes place is a well. constructed
interior. with unusually pleasing lines
and color and lighting effects
