Chan-Fu Wwang b Herrington nor Leun Peroda (By Heruld Reiiewer) Oricntal deviltry, the kind that threatens to put a permanent wave in the spinal column, is the founda- tion .of “The Silent House,” now playing at Parsons’ theater, Hart- ford. As cold as-it was out on the strect, it was at least 10 degrees chillier wside while this melodrama of intrigue and cunning was being presentéd last evening. The plot concerns the will of an cccentric old Londoner who leaves his entire estate to 2 nephew whom he hardly knowa. A small part is invested through a solicitor but the larger part consists of negotiable lhonds valued at $1,250.000 in United States money: The old gentleman kept Ius estate in this form so it could be disposed of as easily as cash because he had many cnemies who were bent on his death, They were led by Dr. Chan-Fu from vhose joss the uncle stole a star years be- tore. ‘The uncle's demise was sud- deti—he was struck in the head by A stone from the coping of his house he passed out through a doorway. Dr. Chan-Fu persists in hounding the nephew as he hounded the uncle, But the nephew has the assistance of Ho-lang, who was his uncle's ser- vant. Ho-Fang succeeds in being on the spot at psychological moments when his young master is in danger. Then there is a mysterious girl who is under the hypnotic influence of Dir. Chan-Fu but who also helps the nephew when she escapes (rom that influence. The play is convincingly presented by an able company, said to be the same which formed the cast in New York for more than a year. George Winegford has just enough sang froid about him to de the character of the nephew well. Arthur Treach- | er is perfectly ripping in the type known to the American public as the English gentleman, 4 combination of bally ass with a broad streak of sportsmanship in s makeup. Stan- ley Hurrison also does an English character, a butler, well. John Nich- olson is master of his role, that of Chinese physician. There’s only one person we can think of who could | Vlay the role of a Chinese more {vividly than Allen Atwell—that per- son is the Oriental gentleman who does our shirts and collars and who imperturbably demands every Satur- day might—"Cleck, please.” The chilly season at ns- lasts {wo days more, wifh a matinec to- {morrow. i Bmther vs., Brother in Golf Course Contract Peter Suzio and Staff of this city was the low bidder for a contract to construct a nine-hole golf course for the city of Meriden, it was found when proposals were opened by a special committee yesterday.
