Sam. * ' ' Cnaino (Sam 8. & Leo Shubert, Inc., Digre.)— The Heati 0/ flie Mighty, a photo- play in aevea acts and three divisions, was presented here Sunday night, SI). The pro- duction was c.ist as follows: CAST. Monsieur Dultulre Lionel Barrymore Monsieur Duvarney A. P. Jackson Juste Duvarney Clinton Preston Allze Duvarney ICUUeent Evans t'apt. Robert Moray Glen White Mathllde Lois Meredith Voban Jack Hopkins lilgot Harold HarUell Vaudrleul Wm. Cavanaugh (iabord N. J. Thompson I-abrouke .Charles Graham Jamond, the dancer Mine. Landuskn La Pompadour Orace Leigh Madame Du Harry Marjorle Bonner Sir John Godrie John Wade IClng Louis of France Thomas Jefferson Gen. Wolfe Arthur Morrison Mr. Bnrrymore was particularly successful In presenting the Wiley Dultulre, whose allu- sion to find tbe Du Barry-tlodrlc letters en«> ried him through a series of schemes In order 10 circumvent tbe attempts of Cant. Robert Moray, who is entrusted by Sir John with tie secret, to keep the same. Incidentally tbe love story between Cant. Moray and Allxe Duvarney is vividly put Into evidence, farming the groundwork for moBt of tho action, which develops after the deputy, who carried letters from the king which em- powered him to do anything he wished, has reached England and America. He takes Copt. Moray, who has been cap- tured by the French, to Quebec, and Involves him as a suspect for being a spy, induces him to right a duel with his fiancee s brother, has him cast in prison and condemned to die, nnd reprieves him—when Allxe consents to become his. The captain is kept in chains until Allxe Induces the governor to lighten )Us hardships. Along with the love tokens, v/hicli nhe returns to him, she sends him a knife, by moans of which he eventually effects bis escape. The carousing nobles, angry at being' dis- nppolntcd by a dancer, plan to entertain themselves by murdering the prisoner, but Allxe take* tbe dancers place until she fnlnta. The nobles niBh to tho prison to tlnd that Moray had escaped. He makes his way to the British lines, and informs them of u pass whereby they can gain the French stronghold. Moray returns to the castle in •line to rescue Allxe from Doltaire's attack, nnd escapes with her. The palace, with Dol- tulre and his accomplices, is blown up by a former victim of Doltalro, The photography Is exceUent, and the work of T. Hayes Hunter lo the ensembles and detail merits praise. The costumes and customs of the time are adhered to, and many details, even to using sand to dry the ink on a let tor. as well ns other characteristics of the period, are strictly carried out. As n spectacular reproduction of events of historic lnterect, eleverlv Actionized, the Co- lonial M. P. Cn.'s film version of Sir Gilbert Parker's famous novel Is n noteworthy addi- tion to the better class motion picture fea- tures, nr.d may be set down as an ambitious and artistic achievement. MM. • I THE lVETW THE PRINCESS PLAYERS. Princess (F. Ray Comatock, mgr.)—<Wis Denial, The Fog, Nettie, Acrote tht Border, produced under tbe direction of Holbrook llllnn on Tuesday night, Nor. 24. The new program at the Princess Is one of genuine excellence, and those who like their drama strong will get more than their fill when they see the bill that Director Hol- brook Bllnn has prepared for tbetn. There are four playlets, ana only one of them Is a comedy. Tl'he rest are real thrillers, but not horrors. The first offered was "The Denial," by J. B. Larrlc, and it was oast as follows:. . McLoughry Benjamin Kauscr Stevens > W. H. Gllmore Meigs Walter Klngsford Burke Ooeffrey C. Btcln Mrs. Bnrko Mrs. Marlon Holcombe Tbe scene Is laid In tbe office of the Warden of Sing Sing Prism Just before the execution of a condemned murderer. Tbe new warden hesitates to name the boor for the execution. The prisoner refuses to see an old woman who claims to be his mother. She is sure that be Is her son. Tommy, whom she has not seen since be ran away from school. The aged woman is admitted, and the prisoner denies that he Is her son. He tells her that another boy named Tommy Burke, bearing a great resemblance to him. Is her son, and that be, the prisoner, bad killed him and It was for chat crime that he was about to die. As the reader may have guessed tbe alory was a "white"' lie. Tbe prisoner was really her son, and the lie was invented to spare the old woman disgrace. As tbe old woman loaves tbe place ignorant of the real facts, the convict walks to the electric chair and the hissing of tbe dynamo tell* of hit killing by the Uw. It Is a gripping little nlay, well acted, especlall) by Mrs. Marlon Holcombe, the veteran actress, hi the role of the metier. Never before have we seen grief more real- istically portrayed, and tbe applause which greeted her on her final exit was generous and sincere. Goeffrey C. Stcln gave a good acccount of himself In the emotional role of the son. Tbe rest of the players have little to do. Another playlet of dramatic strength was "The Fog," the first effort of playwrltlng of Frederick Truesdell (who plays tbe roie of tbe murdered man In "On Trial"). AM of the events portrayed could happen la real life. The play was presented with this cast: Andrew McTavttb, Holbrook Bllnn Kate Emllle Pollnl William Lewis Edgard Mr. Leigh Vaughn Trevor Tbe sceno is In the living room In the back of a London store, which Is run by Kate Mc- Tavlsh, while her husband Is working on a tramp steamer. The hubband comes home unexpectedly from a voyage and finds his wife all decked out in finery and tawdry Jewelry, which be has never seen before. le discovers that his wife has been unfaith- ful to him and that she txpects her iover (whom he bad never seen) to return to take ber to a ball. There Is a dense fog outside, and a passer-by, a young gentleman in even- ing clothes, knocks at the door to seek refuge from it The husband admits htm and then accuses lilm of being tho wife's lover. The men, of course, denies it, bat tbe woman, seeing a chance to save ber lover, cava that tbe stranger Is tbe man who be- trayed her. The husband kl'ls him. When tbe real lover returns, the husband realizes that be has made a great mistake. He looks them up In the room with tbe dead man and tells them that he is going for the police, and that tbe faithless pair can de* tide which one of them killed the stranger. A splendid 'bit of character acting was contributed by Holbrook Bllnn as tbe hus- band. The role of the wife wss well played by that clever actress, Emllle Pollnl. LewU Edgard, as the lever, and Vaughn Trevor, as the unfortunate stranger, did capital work. The one comedy on the bill was famished by George Ade, aad in "Nettle" he has given the Pi-lnccBS Players one of the moBt amusing playlets In its repertoire. It Is full of laughs and satire. The roles were thus assigned BMly Donelaon. Vaughn Trevor Freddie Nichols Lewis Edgard J Immy Hates Holbrook Bllnn A Waiter W. H. Gllmore Messenger Forerst Maoomber The scene Is in the corner of a fashion- able restaurant. As can be seen by the pro- srram Nettle does not appear (figuring only in the conversation). Three men come In turn to keep a dinner appointment with the girl. Each man had met her in the same peculiar way. and each had given her a piano, a Ruslan sable coat and diamonds. The two men who got there first begin to "smell a rat," and When the third arrives to keep the engagement with Nettle they decide to leave him In full posssslon of the girl, far* ana jewelry, and. thus permit Nettle to add his scalp to the many she baa taken. Delightful)/ acted Is this comedy gem. Messrs. Bllun, Trevor and Edgar were capi- tal In their respe ctive roles. Tho mnln offering i» "Across the Border," hy Beulah Marie Dlx. It Is in four scenes, jmd It is a powerful argument against the present European war and a plea for uni- versal peace Its one fault is that* It J* a little too long, but this 's not a serious one, for the play holds the audience spell bound from the rise of tbe curtain to Its final fall. The piece may be called a "dream" play. The whole actum, takes place on the darkened stage, and as each player speaks he or she gets the spotlight. Although the oast 1r n loagone, the lead- lug roles number about six.
