Powers, mgr.)—Basil Macdonald Hastings' English play, "The New Sin," was produced for (be first time ln America, at Towers' Theatre, 17. It Is a remarkable drama, containing a big theme argued magnificently, and 1b admirably cast. The idea upon which the plot 1b based is: Should a man continue to live, If by living he mukes life Impossible for others? Mr. Hastings has chosen a bachelor, an artist of some success, who baa been cut off by his father's will from any share of a huge estate, end a small multitude of brothers and sisters, bb long as he shall live. Upon his death they will come Into comparative wealth. They are mental and physical incompetents and, too weak to become rogues, Buffer, and bleed, the one who stands between them and their in- heritance. The characters are an admirably chosen and contrasted group. Tbe chap who faces this situation is a most human, most lovable fellow, whose sympathies prompt him to self-sacrlScc. His two friends are a simple, brusque member of IsrllHment from the labor ranks, and an author of hooka with a keen mind for analy- sis of character. There Is the Incompetent brother, cowardly and eager to shoulder his crime on another. There Is the fat, sensu- ous, prosperous haberdasher who precipitates tli-.' crisis. A quaint type of venerable serv- ing mnn snd a morbid money-lender round Louis. Happy Harry Hbea, a strong local favorite, was a big hit on the bill week of 1C.
