playlet was first presented in New
York at gambol of the Lambs and
was written by Robert Middlemas and
Holworthy Hall. There is no striv-
ing ,at heroics. but the simple tale of
q strong man going to the gallows. in
the belief that he was right in killing
man for an unmentioned crime. The
hero is condemned under an assumed
name, breaking away from all rela-
tives and friends. and notwithstanding
different ruses, sticks to his story.
His picture Is published and thou
sands OF people all over the country
have been guessing at his identity.
Finally little woman is admitted to
the wardeQ's room and left alone with
the condemned. She hasn't seen a
missing brother for eight years and
OF his youth may solve the mystery,
confronts him with yearning heart
and searching eyes. Right here is
where the piaywrights I'm a deft man
brother. but the girl departs under
the belief that her brother has died
in battle while fighting for France.
With the words, "a coward dies a
thousand deaths, but the valiant dies
but once" the condemned walks to
Mr.. Lytell's acting carries the true
artistic touch. simple and natural.

telling effect. Mary Carroll, as the

company are capable and satisfac-
tory.
Other entertaining acts on the pro-
gram included Ned Norworth and
company in a lot of foo1ishness that
proved the laughing hit of the even

Orchestra: Eddie Weber and Marion

going to drag. Edith King soon dtspels
any fear of a stupid performances. and
with Leo Lindhard, J. Irving White and
Agnes Grant as support for this act. it
goes over smoothly and with fine
degree of finish.
A matrimonial bargain gives the play
its title, Jim and Jenny Wetherby haV-
ing agreed that the first one to grow
tired OF the bonds of matrtmony. will
present the other with goldfish, where
| upon separation and divorce win take
place Immediately. with mo argument
and no fuss" Two years of disagree
ment and scrapping between Jim and
Jenny convince the latter that the pro-
fessor who has induced her to study
culture fs right and that she ts htted
for something higher and more elevating
than being the wife Of Jim, so she sends
her chum to buy a nice, fat goldfish.
Before Amelia returns with her pur-
chase Jim returns to, the fiat with his
own offering of a goldfish for Jenny.
The arrival OF Amelia with Jennys gift
for Jim makes the bargain mutual and
Jenny Is free to marry the man across
the alley who has become SO infatuated
with her that he cannot work.
Jenny's matrimonial ventures come
thick and fast, each one bringing new
wealth. new friends, new demands upon
her time and hospitality, and new worlds
for her to conquer. The third act finds
her sod" widow with a duke dangling
for the honor Of becoming her next
husband.
The play is pure comedy, with a real
love story lowering in the background
| ready to spring out at the right moment.
Edith King and John Litel conduct the
title roles, with Leo Lindhardt as the
Count Stanislas Nevski. ]. Irving White
as Herman Krauss, Agnes Grant as
Amelia Pugsley, Walter Marshall as
Hamilton j. Power. Helen Travers and
Eunice Hunt as maids, Adrian Morgan
Bowman as a butler.
Never Goldman's orchestra, always
popular with the President patrons, was
warmly applauded for its work last
night. The innovation Of an organ was
particularly pleasing in the selections
rendered between the first and second
| acts.

more song numbers on the progran1

P0LI'S-William Hodge in "For
All of U.s."

William Hodge is a great favorite
among a large part of the theater-
going public and those who like him
for himself, regardless of his part or
his play should enjoy his latest, For
All of U.s." three-act comedy. writ
ten and directed by himself. which ap-
I pears at Polls this week, for the
leading role that he plays Is about
all there Is to his offering. There was
a good house at the opening perform
ance last night and it seemed to be
about equally divided into two camps:
those who came to see William Hodge
and were enthusiastic, and those who
came for an evenings entertainment
and found it dull.
Those that went to see the well
known writer-director- actor found
him in character part, that of an
irish ditch-digger, with an amazing
fund of ultra modern philosophy.
which he had CLEANED from the Bible,
while in prison, which philosophy he
reels off at great length for the very
material good of everybody in the
play throughout the three long acts.
Those who like William Hodge might
think IL hersey to say that his part
was overdrawn. either IN the writing
or the acting. Whichever II was, the
character did not quite ring true to
life. The feeling was ever present
that 1t was William Hodge talking
and not an Irish ditch digger.
Those who went for an evenings
entertainment found rather series
of dissertations along Christian Sci
ence ideas, with the play only Incl
dental. Hodge as Tom Griswan is
induced on fiimsy excuse to leave
his ditch-digging to visit the, sick
room of wealthy banker who is
dying. He comes, and stays, and re-
turns several times, at each visit
preaching a long-winded trite doc
trine of right thinking as, a cure-al
for every mental and bodily Ill. His
p' iIoSr'.f-r. -oyr what 90 advanced for
the character, has much of merit to it
a4l,. .. - ,,,.4 pat across with real gen.
uineness Of purpose. but 1t is put on
rather too thick.
AS for the plot, it is only very casual
and doesn't hold together in spots-Just
ei.uH"r + "a piot % give Hodge chance
to straighten out all the difficulties OF
the other actors with his beautifui
theories. There is a little orphan girl,
Joey. played quite well by Florence
Mason, who is supposed to have been
wicked but wasn't. AS is obvious
throughout the play, she turns out to
he the long-loSt daughter of the
ditch-digger, and for no apparent
reason marries the son of the wealthy
banker without any real love theme:
There is also a stolen-jeWel motif
which hasn't any real connection with
the rest of the play.
Frank LoSee, who takes the part of
Frederic Warren, the banker, plays
that character very WELL with great
deal or naturalness and sympathetic
understanding. Marion Abbott, who
plays his wife, also shows n deal of
talent in q difficult part, but the rest
or the cast is only mediocre.

PRESIDENT-"The Goldfish"

When an acknowledged star has made
a success of a certain kind of play that
If not perfectly done is likely to drag,
the theatergoer looks with some trepi-
dation toward the stock company that

prehension was felt last night when the
President Players opened a weeks per-
formance of THE Goldfish" Marjorie

NATIONAL-'The Last Warning.

''The Last Warning" which opened
its eue cement at the National Thea
ter last night, is just such a COM
bination of old-fashioned melodrama
and neW-fashioned mystery play, with
comic relief, as The Bat" that su-
premely successful thriller Of thrill
lers. Practically the same skeleton
of thrilling episodes, contrasted and
emphasized by ludicrous lines. Is en-
ployed in this new play. The Last
Warning" appears to have been in
spired by two other plays, one. the
quoted Mary Roberts .Rinehart story,
and the other, Sheridan's, The Ri
walls" In "The Last Warning the
comedy relief is provided. as in The
Bat" by a. feminine character, but
in the newer play the woman is q
modern Mrs. Malaprop. Jessie Busley
has this role, the most colorfui of the
entire cast. and she does the char
acterization to perfection.
One of the charms of the play is
the rather ingenious and persistent
way in which the audience is made
to feel it Is a definite part of the
play and that the performance can
