SEE LEE ON
STAGE
Veterans of South Divided on
FeaIty of Character to
War Hero.

| RICHMOND, Va, Nov. S.-Over a
score Of grizzled Confederate vet
Grams from the Soldiers Home here
saw their beloved civil war hero as
the English dramatist, John Drink
water, pictured him in his play.
Robert e. Lee" at an Academy of
Music matinee yesterday.
It was difficult to approximate the
reaction on these feebled warriors OF
another day as they witnessed the
South's foremost hero with life re-
breathed by an authors pen stride
through stirring incidents that feat
ured American history, from 1861 to
1865. The general opinion was that
Drinkwater has treated the character
with due reverence and sympathy,
although some of the men who served
under Lee declared he was q more
sturdy leader despite an inherent
aristocracy than Drinkwater chooses
to paint him. But the veterans, all,
enjoyed thoroughly the play, al
though points in Lees character, as
seen on the stage, will be in dispute
for many moons.
Ovations greeted the entrance Of
the leading player, and similar recep-
tons were accorded those represent
ing Stonewall Jackson, j. e. B.
Stuart, jefferson Davis and other
famous Confederate leaders.
Aside from these bursts Of ap-
plause, which seemed to follow the
''heroics," there was little demon
stration. The settings called forth
approval, especially that showing
Malvern Hill, near this city.
Between the acts the general
topic of conversation appeared to be
the differing qualities Of the author
to his theme. Authorities on Con-
federate lore appeared satisfied with
what Mr.. Drinkwater has done with
the famous Southern character, ex-
cept for several Britishisms which
crept in.
One of these was when one of
the characters is made to say, "I
am for soldier" meaning at am
going to be a soldier" an expression
unknown in the South. Another
expression in moment of fervor
which seemed to crate harshly was,
"Oh, I say!'
The audience represented the
most prominent members of Vir-
GINA society. Delegations of North
Carolina, Alabama and Georgia
people also were here.
Governor and Mrs. Trinkle and
members of his staff occupied boxes.
D. w. Griffith, motion picture
producer, who is here filming
scenes for his new piece America"
was present and also several prom
inent New York producers and
writer's.
Richmond novelists, including
Mary Johnston, James Branch Ca
bell, Ellen Glasgow, Sally Nelson
Robbins, Margaret Prescott Mon
tague and Kate Langley Bosher
also were present.
After playing in Norfolk and
Washington the play will go to
New York.
