“i No Grace George Brings Charm and Tenderness to “The Truth.” BY CHARLES DARNTON. JA NLY the unmistakable leaning of Manager Winthrop Ames toward oO playa that have been “done” in London can explain the revival of “Phe Truth” at the Little Theatre. Certainly time has not improved the Clyce Fitch play that met with failure here seven or eight years ago. ‘There's no use in going over the | Out, It aeema like calling up ghosta of Whole matter again.

But Becky amounts to nothing at all as @ study, and the play itself has no really human interest until the third act, when Becky and her reprobate father compare notes in reviewing their family history. So far as the other characters are concerned, they 4 out of the play after the second nd the mere fact that they are not miased proves the artificiality of “The Truth.” All the truth of the play is concen- ‘trated in that talk between Becky and her father, and this scene was played so admirably on Saturday night by Miss George and Ferdinand Gottschalk that it literally wiped out all recollection of what had gone be- fore. Like her father before her, rand generally no . living on his doting diady, just as she had been living, 4 would continue to live, on her indulgent husband, The sordidness of the boarding house was the only thing that could bring them to their common level, that could show them in their true, dingy colors.

With the ANGELUS one can play the finest music. Musical train- ing is unnecessary. Age has nothing to do with it. Rhythm and tone and color, in such artist-like degree as no other player-piano can give; these, with their uplifting influence, are yours and your children’s if you have an ANGELUS in your home. The ANGELUS has out-distanced all other player-pianos in human- izing a mechanical device. This has been fully demonstrated to us by the fact that so many people who buy other makes of player-pianos con:e here later to exchange them for pianos containing the ANGELUS. Schomacker-Angelus Emerson-Angelus Lindeman-Angelus Knabe-Angelus The only safe thing to do is to hear as many player-pianos as you care to and then hear the ANGELUS before purchasing. Small first payments and a reasonable sum each month until paid for. Piano Selous, First Gallery, New Bice. JOHN WANAMAKER Broadway and Ninth ee < Even the children are happy ys’ Made by E.
