DRAMATIC STUDENTS ACL The first porfonnane of the season of 11114-11)15 to be given by the students In the sixth months' class of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and Empire Theatre School of Acting took place at the Kmplro on Thurs- day afternoon, Jan. 7. They appeared In The Bon and Heir, n comedy In four acts by Gladys Ungcr, which received on this occa- sion its first performance in tula country. Tho .cast was ns follows: Sir Evcrard Tltsy Chilworth, Bart, J. P., Ralph Collier Bverard Tltsy Chilworth Jr...Watson Whlto Cecil Chilworth John B. Wlso Pascoo Tandrldge Frederick Farren Felix Fourle Saxon Kltog Joba Brock.... Alan E.

Act IV.—Tho Breakfast Room; the next morning. Timh. —The present. Tho play Is a talky affair in act one, but U Intensely Interesting In tho second. The third act Is full of words and little action, and the last act is one of the "happily ever tftorward" brand. In plot It resembles closely "Tho Lily." It tolls how Sir Edward Tltky ChllwortE, Bart. J. P., rules bis family witu an iron band, though he allows bis eldest eon and heir many privileges. His daughter Amy lovos and Is loved by John Brock, his sons tutor, and when the old man hears of the attachment he orders tho young tutor from his house and forbids bis dnimntar to) save any more to do with him. Ills eldest daughter, Mrs. Beatrice Chilworth Wlshaw, vpbraMs hor father. Sho tells blm that lie bad forced her into a marriage which Is dis- tasteful to her, and unless Amv Is permitted to marry tho man she loves, she, tho oldest daughter will disgrace the family by eloplnx with the man sho truly loved—Paseoe Tan- drldge. He at last consents, for he fears scandal. The performance gave ample evldcnco that the teachers have taken great pains with their puollB, for each player, spoke distinctly, and wlttf one or two exceptions applied their make-up skillfully. Exceptionally good work ' was contributed by Alan E Edwards, as the ycung tutor, playing with sympathy and dig- nity. Tho role of Amy, which catla for emo- tional acting, was excellently plnved by Laura Iverson, and Ann dc Nully handled the difficult role of Mrs. Wlshaw with n skill Of an cxporleuced actress. Ralph Collier, as Sir Evcrard Chllwortb, bad a role that would stagger many an actor of reputation, and he did remarkably well In it. John F. Wise played a schoolboy in the proper spirit, and gave promise of being a good comedian. Mefan Gund acted with quiet dignity oud repose tho role of Lady Chilworth, and Frieda Roberts, as a spinster, who was sttll Kvely, was delightful. Mary West, as a ouso mntd, made her rolo stand out. The others did tbelr work well. Alhnmbra (Bert Young, mpr.1—dllll this week: Evelyn Neshlt and Jack Clifford, Ryan and Lee. Boll and West, Will Ward and Girls.

Brlgnac is miming for ofli™ and la preaching the need of "re-populntlon," but his wife refuses to bear blm any more children. His wife's youngest sister, a girl of six- teen, had been betrayed by a youth who Promised marriage. Brlgnac orders the girl rom tho house, and sho goes, accompanied by Mme. Brlgnac. Tho two women go to a midwife and, as a result of an operation, tho young girl dies. Tlie last act shows the court room, with the midwife and several <,thcr women on trial for malpractice. Thn play Is, as can be readily seen, not & ?lcarant one, but Brleux hits squarely from he shoulder to scoro his points. But the lay lacks dramatic force and at times Is la TBS CLin-Kii.
