SHOP'S MONE THLAATVE PLA Mrs. Cralgie’s Latest Is a Dramatized Chessboard of Speech and More of a Story than an Acting Affair. MILD LENTEN RELAXATION. William .H, Thompson In the Title Role and Mise Dorothy Dorr as a Duchess Dowager Are the Chief Performers. . “The Bishop's Move,” made upon the Manhattan Theatre staze last night, be- long’ in the chessboard class of the drama. It deals with bishops and knights and queens in studiously romantic relation, @nd progresses carefully and unevent- etoile @ logical conclusion. “It ts termed a comedy in three acts b} John! Oliver Hobbes (Mrs, Craigie) and Murmy Carson,” but It might more ap- Propilately be designated a dramatized Problim for sentimental devotees of the board. | More Story than Play. “The Bishop's Move” is more a story than a play—designed with proper Dreadtss of sackcloth and a considerate sprinkling of ashes as a mild relaxation for the Lenten period. There ts almost total lack of “action.” The plece runs as placidly as holy water And with much the same beneficent effect, anf this, strangely enough, tn face of the fact that tro women are striving fer the love of the same man.| But he isa young man—a very young man—whote uncle, the Bishop, is kindly enough to describe him as “Ingenuous.’ About tke time the Bishop constder- ately hit upon this classification the Audience hud doubtless reached {ts pwn opinion of the young man; but with the humble syirit of forty days of fasting in Broadway restaurants upon its soul it was willing to bow acquiescence to a compromise. At the outset this nephew, imperson- ated by Wallace Worsley, In a cassock fashioned In a style to suggest a “ladies’ tailor" and wearing a tied-to-the-apron- strings expression of unsophisticated goodness, {s inclined to the church. But @ dashing duchess comes along and gives him an alluring glimpse at the wo-ld worldly and the fiesh fleshly. Witha. she's a very good duchess, dangerous only to the flirting stage, and with noth- ing more than respectable widowhood in her past, Dorothy Dorr, made her relf-conscious rather than designing, with a smile that does come off anda rather disagreeable havit of scowling when she imagines she 1s serious, Spiritual Youth Wakes Up. Through the fascinating influence of the Duchess the erstwhile spiritual- minded youth forsakes the sober vest- ments of the church, turns up the bot- toms of his trousers and wears a green tle. In other words, he begins to show igns of life. ‘Me Duchess rushes him off to sequestered nooks, and when ap- prehensive dry nurses of the befuddled boy attempt to stop her she talks them to a standstill. All this time there ‘s a modest maiden, Barbara, who stands aside for the Parade to pass, meanwhile hugging to her heart the remembrance that the churoh-switched young man with the blond hair and the pained look ce told her that he loved her, Miss Deronda Mayo played this part with patience ‘and a badly made-up nose, and per- formed the most exciting act of the Yay. by dropping a locket, upon which the joung man had scratched "Ba bara,” Into the sxernal economy of a pipe-organ. ‘The Bishop, who has a habit of doing much of his ta:king on a chessboard, has given Barba 8 locket, and de- pends upon the discovery of the inscrip- tion by the Duchess as hia strong move in the game of love. He therefore proceeds to take the or- gan apart tovrecover the locket, but the Duchess discovers the trinket, reads her answer in the scratches, and then mag- nanimously surrenders the young man to Barbara, with whom she has, oddly enough, been on kissing terms all the time, ‘The young man seems content—tn fact. he has bven an exasperatingly contented Young man from the moment he climbed out of the perfect fitting cassock, Meanwhile don't overlouk the Bishop. He has been in the “moving” business 6n his own account as weil as for others. To come right out with the truth, he 4s pretty sweet on the Duchess himself, @nd he harbor a sneaking suspicion that his intellect and other well seasoned sessions may finally appeal to the uchers more strongly than does the youthfulness of the youthful youth, Meanwhile he has worrled along on having the ladies kiss his hand. But after a while the Duchess mani- fests a dispisition to snuggle up to him, ane things jook promising for him at the Thompson the Hit of It All, 4 In more chess-board talk the sympa- thetic spectator is told that the “queen” wMeaning the Duchess—mnakes the last move, but it 1s conceded to be the ‘s advantage, ‘Then the programme chips in and says; “Pre potential complement of the Bivhop {s elght and three-fourths," W. H. Thompson, who played the Bishop, Is certainly entitled to all that to him--and @ duchess 4s none by tl FoR e . restful charm’ repose and nicety ch was added a Iichelleu-like y of shrewdness, tempered by a tenderness which was the direciing power and the keynote of the play.
