GEORGE ALRISS IN "ALEXAND. FIR HAMILTON"; HOOT GIB- SON IN "CIIEARING THE
 RANGE AT GARDEN

George Arliss is today at the New Garden theater in his most stirring play, Alexander Hamilton" a Warner Brothers production.
 MT Arliss himself wrote the play in collaboration with Mary Ham, lin and starred in it on the stage 14 years ago on Broadway and in London. It deals with the hu- manity of Hamilton, rather than with the constructive genius which made. him one of the most able of the founders of the republic. He Is forty at the time, and implicated in the strange affair with the notor- jus Mrs Reynolds, whose machi- nations endangered the govern ment.
 Mir Arliss will amaze you with the buoyant youthfulness of his ap- pearance, partly by reason of the contrast with the characters he portrayed so fiawlessly in "Disra- eli" "Old English" and "The Mill lionaire."
 The cast includes Doris Kenyon. Dudley Driggs, Alan Mowbray, Ralf Harolde. June Collyer, Charles Middleton, Montague Love, Lionel Belmore, Morgan Wallace, Gwen dolin Logan, John T. Murray.

 Red Butter" said Pierre. He looked at the sheriff, Who are you?"
 I'm Sheriff Billings, son, bur don't worry, my boy, everything's all right"
 He stopped to put a glass of water to the parched lips. Instant ly the thirst tortured body as- serted itself The talonlike hands clutched the glass with desperate eagerness. An insane animal light flashed in the deep-set eyes; a strange sucking, animal sound came from the parched throat.
 Steady, boyl" said the sheriff steady Just a little at a tima does it. You can have some more Tn lew minutes, ana pretty soon ell you want"
 His strong hand removed the glass from that despairing grip and put it out of sight. 7
 Once more the boy looked from face to face, and as he rested his gaze on Ann, they saw the Pierre Donovan, who lived within this flesh that was so near to death, asserting himself. They saw but did not understand that Harriet Noel's son was about to play still another part. They did not know that as he lay there looking into Ann's face, Pierre Donovan, the actor, was yisualizing the charac- fer which for love of Ter he must create.
 Acting this new role, he said in a

 T decided that night that I must be rich. I had learned the truth that money is everything and that art is nothing. I saw that I had been a fool to wish to be an actor. To live for money; to die for money; to go to hell for mon ey-that is the thing. I thought that with this bank money to start with, l could make millions. I came west under the pretense of finding Bruce. I told Bruce what l had done. He tried to make me go back to Orchard Hill and give myself up. We got lost in the desert; there was not water enough for two; Bruce died. Bruce gave his life to save me, Ann-'greater love hath no man than this" His voice faltered, and. acting his part, he bowed his head in grief and shame
 No one stirred. Awe-stricken, as if in the presence of something more than human, they could neither move nor cry out.
 Suddenly. Pierre rose to his feet and in the manner of an actor, playing a melodramatic part on the stage, cried in a clear voice: a'I Pierre Donovan, do solemnly de clare in the presence of these wit nesses, that am guilty of the crime for which they have arrested Ann's father; that Ann's husband, Bruce Carey, died to save my life !"
 For a moment he held the pose Then stepping backward as if about to exit from the stage, he stag gered. The sheriff started forward But Pierre, drawing himself erect, halted the officer with an im-

 'Not now, dear. Wait until you are stronger"
 No, I must tell you now. I can't wait"
 For moment he was silent and they could see that he was ar ranging his thoughts and calling on the scant physical strength that was left to him.
 You remember that night we set up your dressmaking form, Ann?"
 T could never forget that, dear, " cried Ann impulsiyely. But"
 He interrupted her.
