Mr. Sutro's comedy Is well wrKlen. 'I'bere arc mauy clever epigrammatic Il^'es, espe- cially In the flrst act. ms act Is rich In comedy, but after tbat the Interest slackfoa, ond by tbe time the laat act la reached the play lalla to plecea The play alms to be a fcatlre on the anobbery of the KnglLib middle and lower classes. On the whole the play adds nothing to tbe reputation of Mr. Sutro, who baa been long -prominent In tho list ot BrltUb olaywrlghta. In order to win the hand of-Dorla Har- nble, a young woman with "advanced Ideas," who baa been overheard lo any that aho would never marry the "average" youuff man, Wilfrid Callender pretends that he Is a fmnoua anarchist To carry out the decep- tioD, h2 engages two roughly dressed men to applaud bis speeches. He Invites Doris and bar mother and aunt (all would-be Intel- lectuals) to dins with him nt tbe home ot a friend who la a real anarchist. The latter proves that be la a man who believes In equal rights, for he Inslsbi that tho char- woman alt down at the table with the guests. They are served by Rose Efllck, the aaar- chlet'a daughter, who decides allently that Doris la not the proper wife for (blender, and tbat alie. Rose, would marry him herself. In the firat act Callender had confessed to Doris' father, a rich but uncultured brewer, that be was not an anarchist, but a rich younf man, but be bad to pretend to be a 'wild man" to secure Doris. In tho laat act Doris decides tbat she would not marry Wil- frid, 4)ut will again receive the atteniloos ot a young man she Jilted for tbe aoarchlet. Wilfrid leaves without dlacloelag hU real Ideas regarding wealth and soclsT standing, and folia a ready vli tlm to tbe dever Ruse. "The rompaoy. which may leally be called a stuck orgauliatlou, were nil excellent In Iholr respective roles. The greatest auccrss wns nnaoubtedly scored by Edwird Emery who, aa the unrnltuted brewer, won both aymnstby ond laughter. It la a splendid tele, piaycd by a aplendid actor. Charles nopklns, who Is tbe hood of tbe Pnncb snd Judy Theatre, had the role of Callender, but, to put It mildly, tho role Is unsnltcd to blm. Mrs. Hopkins, who, b?rore her msrrlagc, was known ss Violet Vivian, lent beauty, charm and tolcnt to Ihe role of Rose. Russ Wliylnl made the real anarchist a mild and altogether eliannlog man, and acted wltb much tendemesa Tho clever I^ulBs Closser Ilcle, ns Hiss Settle, was not given much opporl unity to sblnc. rbe nmo may be snld ot Ilcrbert Yost, one of the best of our vonnger actors. Excellent character acting was enntrlhuted bv Vera Polo, as a chairwoman, ond Charles Itampden, aa a talkative worknnn. Miss Pole's make-up, from faor loose hair to her torn shoes, was a wondorful sight to eehold. Beatrice Prentice, ss Doris, gave an excel- lent performance of a role tbat conid easily be Bpollcd by overacting, aod Annie Uugbes lent i^od comedy sId with her excellent sct- Ing as Mrs. Mnrmblc.
