President Benjamin Ide Wheeler said that the movement undertaken by the United States was certain of great results, not only because war was out of e and was killing itself off, but because the words of John Hay carried more weight than those of any statesman in Europe and be- cause in his magnificent navy Uncle Sam had the “big stick” with which to support his theories, there being no better insurer of peace than prepared- for war. - udge Hunt referred \o the con- A FATAL ER:XOR A man steps into your office, draws up his chair, and talks right into your face. | His breath is offensive.

The Majestic company did their best with the play last night, something on those | lines. It was the only thing to do. They had revived the play, and seeing it one wondered why. They seemed rather to wonder themselves. But, like the clever and consclentious folk | they are, they decided to make the best | of it. As will be remembered by some, life and manners, that was used with considerable success years ago by W. H. Crane. Its hero is a brusque, ener- getic, Western politician, who sends word to the President “to wait, as he hasn’t time to see him now,” and gen- erally runs Washington in our happy Western way. Its heroine is a nice lit- tle girl in a black frock, who is teach- ing piano and cheering up grandpapa, | who has been living in hope for ninety vears or so of the recognition of a vai- uable claim against the Government. | The Senator falls in love with the girl | and takes | comedy | sadorship in Bolivia; another, an Aus- up the claim. A musical villain who wapts an embas- trian diplomat, who is very catholic— | and notably careless for a diplomat—in | his love affairs; the Secretary of State { —nothing small, you know; a widow of marital inclinations, and a sort of Ber- %~ ) ! stant internecine strife in South Amer- yica and pointed to the great good in- ternational arbitration would do to these small nations that periodically bleed thémselves to death in purpose- less wars. In conclusion he support- ed President Wheeler's “big stick” theory and gave as his view that the offensive and defensive strength of this nation will greatly aid it in its campaign for peace. Rabbi Voorsanger drew a striking picture of what he believed would be the last war on earth—a war, per- haps, in which the United States and England, side by side, may battle with the powers of the world to compel them to submit to the ways of peace and to throw their destinies into the hands of a tribunal that shall hence- forth deal out justice to the weak as well as the strong. In conclusion he said that before this peace can come, however, nations, as individuals, must first learn the secret of self-control and when this is done even the courts of arbitration will find but small em- ployment. TERRIBLE COST OF WAR. The Rev. Mr. Brown spoke on the business view of war; told of its ter- rible cost in human lives and gold and said that from any standpoint it did not pay. A better way to settle dis- putes of the nations must be found, he said, and in the idea of arbitration it had been found and when agreed to by all nations it would be to the honor and glory of God and to the credit of all His people. The question of war once settled, said | earth | Mr. Lane, the nations of the could turn their attention to questions more directly bearing upon the hap- pincss of their people. It would mean that time could be given to the prob- lem of the congested city and the de- | serted farm, to the growing disrespect for law and to the settling of the trou- bles that are arraying class against | class and that are threatening even the stability of the institutions of this free nation. But he said he had no fear that these problems would not be met before it | was too late. could be said that at last the world was at peace and that .the justice of law had forever displaced the right that comes with the might of the sword.

It is comforting to think that to-mor- row will not depend upon “The Sena- tor” for a picture of American life. Forfi It s old- the play is already dead. fashioned in the worst sense of the word. with its asides, generally naive construction, and prevalling air of un- reality. The politics are as convinci as the financial flights of Kolb and D! The social habits of Washington, ll here exhibited, are even more brilliant- ly incredible. Then the fact that some of the people are badly cast does not | Mr. Gould, much conduce to illusion. better fitted to the stuttering lieuten- ant’s role, plays the Senator. Mr. Gil- mour, who should have been playing the Senator, is essaying the lleutenant role. John D. O'Hara again is a con- vincing grandfather, and Robert Elliott fairly good as the Austrian diplomat. Harry Mestayer, George Woodward— but why continue? And to think of these people in their admirable per- formance of “When We Were Twenty- One!” Miss Eleanor Gordon appears as the heroine, and is simple and engaging in | the part. Adele Block is cast as the widow, and does her best with sumptu- ous gowns to blind one to the weakness of the role, Risie Esmond figures prettily ag ti ingenue. But none of | the parts are played with full convic- tion, and there is no particular reason to see “The Senator.” The piece is very handsomely staged, however, and the audience seemed to get plenty of amusement out of it. | BLANCHE PARTINGTON. Columbia. The third and final week of Maxine Elliott's engagement Is now on at the | Columbia Theater. where her fine production of “Her Own Way” has been witnessed and enjoyed by some very large houses. Seat sale for the | remaining five nights and Saturday matinee is very large, and the de- lightful Clyde Fitch play will be seen by great numbers up to and in- cluding Saturday night, when the final presentatiou takes place. There will be a matinee Saturday. Next comes A Chinese | Alcazar. The three-act comedy, “The Pro- fessor's Love Story,” began the week ’lnst night at the Alcazar. It was | rresented by the clever company most acceptably to a highly gratified au- | dience. The fun of the comedy imps somewhat in the first act and trcts along nimbly in the second, but the pathos, the humanity and the hu- | mor are climaxed together in the third, and the curtain falls to con- inued applause. Mr. Craig has no easy role in that of the absent-minded Professor Goodwillie, and adroitly keeps back from that dangerous line where eccentricity develops into the | ridiculous. Much dry Scotch humor is there in the Pete and Henders of Harry Hilliard and John B. Maher, | respectively, the hot and cold suitors for the hand of Effie Proctor, which character, in dialect and action, was well portrayed by Laura Adams. Lillian Lawrence is the heroine, Lucy | White, and plays the part with her usual fidelity and thoroughness. Adele Belgarde and Elizabeth Wood- son are cast in congenial roles, and share the applause with the heroine. George Osbourne treats the audience to a good bit of character in the part of Dr. Cozens. Central. Race horses, jockeys, plenty of fun and a well defined plot characterized | the excellent production of “The ' Suburban” at the Central Theater last | night. This is the first time the great melodrama has ever been seen in this city after having toured the East for several seasons. Ethel Clifton and Her- schel Mayall were as usual happily cast and both were well received. Mr. May- | all is unconventicnal and does some of ! his best work as Donald Gordon, the | rich Scotchman’s son. Henry Schumer gave an exceptionaly fine performance | " | of a difficult Sir Ralph Gordon. James Corrigan was hilariously funny as the . honest German. Ernest Howell as the ; malicious old servant was unpleasant- | 1y cast but treated the part in his fin- |hhed manner and scored a hit. The other members of the company were lleen to advantage. | The scenic effects are realistic. From the swagger gaming house in the first act, to the lime kiln and its thrilling situations the scenic artists under Frank E. Cutler had an opportunity to do clever work and the chance was more than realized. The great scene shows the race course with its hun- dreds of spectators.
