BRADY Presents A New Play by Owen Davis, With JAMES CRANE Every year Owen Davis breaks out during dog days in a melodramatic rash. This season it takes the form of ‘“‘Opportunity,”’ a drama of the stock market which beat the barrier against Al Woods’ similar play, ‘‘Crooked Gamblers,’’ and got presented one night earlier than its rival. The climax in each piece is the same, the environment the same, and the characters talk the same. ” “Opportunity,’’ however, has the additional charm of a ‘‘vamp” best families of ‘‘Saracuse,’’ N. Y., and who says ‘‘wurrunt you"’ and ‘“‘arrunt you,’’ and who rejoices in the name of Nellie Ross. She might just as well have been called Susie Brown or Jennie Jones, but the Ross family sounds more distinguished since Charlie was kidnaped years and years ago. Larry Bradford, presumably of the New England Bradfords, has made a killing in the street. He has also married a wife, an honest, tho foolish, hard working stenographer, Joyce Wayne, who works in the same office with Larry and is going to be thrown out of her boarding house because she has been running around innocently with a married man to the Claridge and otlier places. Larry stops the eviction and weds Joyce. But after that he gets so immersed in finance that all he has time to do is answer the telephone, chew cigars to rags and make millions. ‘‘Saracuse’’ Nell walks into the office one day and breaks up his business preoccupations with her big brown eyes and her remin'scences of the old home town. The Rosses were one of ‘‘Saracuse's’’ first families when Larry was a tough kid hopping freights as they rolled down Main street or throwing belly flopperg into the canal, which runs down the other chief thorofare of the city, so Nell and he never met until she lest her busband and he made a million. But for old time’s sake Larry sets her up in an apartment on the Drive, which looks like a combination chop suey-Turkish coffee parlor, and she lives the life of Riley. Then Larry goes broke or thinks he does, and Nell gives him the air, but not before he breaks up the little domestic nest by throwing tottles thru the mirrors, tearing down the curtains and frightening poor Nell into hysterics, while the other occupants of the surrounding flats troop in to watch the fall of Pompeii, with Larry playing Vesuvius. The last act is in Larry's library, where the shelves on the walls are filled with complete sets of ‘‘Snappy Stories.” “The Smart Set’ and ‘Town Topies,’’ bound in half calf. Larry has lost his memory after the rovgh house at Nell's Pl: ace and forgets what he was going to do to the villain who clawed h'm up in the market the day previous. He recovers his wits when said villain appears, reealls that he intended to pinch the shorts who could not deliver the stock they had sold. and everything ends happily for everyone except the Pride of the Saracuse Salt Mines, little Nellie Ross. But don’t worry about Nell. She'll get on, tho her work is a little rough. Lily ne is a lovely and wonderful wife. James Crane is the young cigar-eating plunger, and N'ta Naldi, whose understudies almost save ‘‘The Bonehead” from death, is Nellie Ross.
