Uackett, manager).—Only--successful dramatists seem • to have tbctomerity to enter new fields of endeavor, and this is not to be wondered at, since there la re So .many obstacles to be overcome lo new lines of thought. Augustus Thomas, in his now four net play. The wttch- inn Hour, handles new Ideas, and preaches a sermon on-thought transmission apd other new tilings in scientific Investigation, and al- though the highly cultured.may vote, his play the filling of n long felt want, audiences of to-dny-arc hardly likely to care very much for !t. Mr. Thomas Is a good many years ahead of tbc times, and eltbough- there may he n great deal in telepathy, the lengths to which It Is curried in this ploy arc absurd, to Bay the least. At any rate tho majority of our theatregoers nrc likely to take tbls view of II. The play was given its first New York production evening of Monday,' Nov. 18, nnd Its first presentation on any stage oc- curred : at the Providence Opera House, Providence, It. I. on Nov. 15. John Ma- oou hi the star of the company.' nud al- though be does not have the opportuni- ties his talents entitle him to, he won n triumph for the . masterly mauuer In wh|cli he handled the character of Jack BrookUeld, n gambler of the right sort, who at-length awoken to the realization that he possesses unusual hypnotic power. Mr. Ma- son Is always interesting, and It Is doubtful whether his role would not have been laugh- able If It had not been for his artistic work. Mr. Thomas makes bis characters use some bright speeches, and the play Is interesting In Its telling. Its story begins In tbe home of Jack BrookUeld. gamblor. who loves the widowed mother of Clay Whipple, a youth who is anxious to ninrry Jack's niece, Viola. Clny has Inherited - an aversion to the stone kuown as the cat's eye, uud In a, temporary fit of Insanity Inspired by that stone he kills tbe wearer al It. Convicted of murder. Cluy is about to be executed, hut his counsel moves for a now trial, mid Jack, who has In the mean- time been convinced that he possesses unusual psychic power, saves him by Influencing (be Jury through thought • transuUsslou. Jack has blocked the attempts of oho Prank Hard- mutb, it lawyer. In the district attorney's office, to make love to Viola, and whenllard- mutb, In vindictive spirit, tries to send Clay to the gallows,' Jack accuses Hardmuth of the murder of Kentucky's Governor. But everything comes out right In the end, be- cause Jack just "thinks the Jury over. to his way of looking at (bo case, and. Clay is acquitted and returns to wed Viola.' Jack then wins the love of Clay's mother, and nil It well. Next to Mr. Mason, tho best work was donc.by lluss Whytal, as tbe Judge, who Urst tells Jack of the pew thought transmis- sion idea. Mr. Whytui did brilliant work, and Jennie A. Eustace ran him a close race for ,-econd honors. .Miss Eustace made Cliiy's 'mother a lovable. .Interesting woman. George Nash also won distinction us Uardmuth. Tho part of Clay was not well handled by-Morgan Coinun, who talks too loud uud never modu- lates his speech for an' instant!
