Ethel Clayton James Brennan •• • • • • • ■ •J2S Mo £ an While this play, which the author has rimmntlred from his novel of the same name. S plenty of dull spots, especially In the first two acts. It Is a -work of much Interest, espe- cially to women, It •will cause much discus- sion Among the fair aevand as the discus- sion of a play means good advertising, It is nossille that "The Brute" may make money for its producers, If not In New York, at least "Villi? Mr. Hummer has been successful as a novelist, he has still much to learn as a dramatist Still, his play Is not without merit The last scene In the last act Is one of great strength, and la not easily dismissed from one's memory. "The Brute" concerns Mr. and Mrs. Donald Rogers. The young husband Is anxious to cave evcrv cent possible In order to Invest It. so Unit In their old age the family will have some money. He .8, however, not stingy. Ills wife finds this mode of living distasteful. feven.l years before she married Rogers she was courted by one William West, a rich man. West remained the friend of the Itogers long after the marriage. lie and Mrs. Rogers continued to caro for each other, although nothing of a serious nature has ever trans- pired between them. West goes to Denver, sod from there he writes Mrs. Rogers to join lilm with ber boy. Bobble. ■ Before she gets a chance to start she and her husband are notified by a lawyer that West died from appendicitis and has left all of Ms money and Ills property to Mrs. Rogers. They move to a handsome cottage at a popular Summer resort, but Rogers, who Is Ignorant of the fact tbnt his wife has been unfaithful to him in intention, although not In any actual deed, refuses to live on bis wife's money, and continues to stick to his old job. He, of course, lives with her and his boy at the' cottage. Through an old college friend, Emerson Hall, who Is the fiance of his wife's sister,. Itogers learns the true story why West left his wealth to Mrs. Rogers. He leaves her,, taking the boy with him. Ills wife follows him to the old home. When he sees her dressed In a costly gown, her fingers and ber leek covered with Jewels, be cannot restrain his anger and he tears the jewels from her reck. On one condition' will he forgive her. ijbe most give up every cent of the money left ber by the treacherous friend. Nothing else will satisfy him. As she Is honestly in love with her husband, she consents, despite the pleadings of her grafting mother. Comstock & Gest have given the play a good production and have gathered together, a fine company. Head and shoulders above the others in the cast stands Ernest Glen- denning, wbo played the role of the young husband In an admirable manner. He played his love scenes with charm and tenderness, and he bandied his dramatic scenes with vigor. Mr. Glendennlng (wbo Is the son of John Glendcnnlng, a well Known actor) scored a. great personal success in "The Brute." Ruth Shcpley was entrusted with the role of the wife, snd although she gave a credit- able performance, she left much to be de- sired. She was never convincing. Jeffreys Lewis, as the grafting mother of the wife, was a delight, but it must be con- fessed thst she over-acted at times. • Ethel Clayton, as Alice, and Wlllard Rob- ertson, as Emerson Hall, her lover, who un- fittingly caused all the trouble, played their roles m conventional manner. Stephen Davis, as Bobble Rogers, proved not to be tiresome, which is indeed praise for a child actor, and Kelt Moran, as the lawyer, was excellent. The second week began Oct. 14. Third Roic. City (Ben Leo, mgr.)—The bill for 10-12 Included: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, In their well known sketch, with the stolen dog game; Kepplcr and Joss, a Jew kid and his girl, made believe that th " were married : Boutin, Tllson and Parker, la the musical farmers, played saxophones disguised as milk cans, uwrlmbaphones rigged Tike a fence, and mu- sical chimes. The lady sang "Take Me Back to Dreamland." Their miniature piano was connected by wires with electric bells located among the seats, and thels ringing caused a mild sensation. The automobile organ and singing "Last Rose of Summer," In a sunset scene, was liked. The Runaway Four, two straight sihgers, a Hebrew and a black face comedian, made fun and harmonized, danced Jind finished with a parody on 'My Hero." The Bralthwalts played a sketch wherein the House gets into the wrong house and Is finally sent home by the lady next door, after r. series of comedy events, falls, bangs, etc. Nichols and Sherwood, as the countryman .ind the singer, played the old knockout drop game, with the lady taking the drops and tbc countryman recovering the goods, taken from nlm for the phantom blackmailer. The Stroub Sisters had a variegated act. One of them opened by singing "Mine," In rather prolonged style, with firelight effect. A clever ballet dance by sister followed, In regulation ballet costume. No. 1 then re- lumed In green to sing "Those Irish Melo- dies." A hoop-skirt number by No. 2 and No. 1 came back to show the contrast to the present styles by wearing an ultra-tight train sown and the largest fiat in captivity. A dipping rope act by the dancer, with vocal necompanlment, finished op. l^wrcnce and Reynolds sang "When I Jtoltz With You" and "Ghost of the Goblin Man" and "You Are My Life, My All." alternately, and Joined voices In "Good-Bye, My Love, Good-Bye." r Thc „Pictures Included: "Love In Tough Luck Ranch" (Essanay).
