BY CHARLES DARNTON. ILE confession may be good for the soul of t of the Land” a | Dramatic Frameup uthor who describes | his play as melodrama, it doesn't in the least reconcile me to such clap-trap as “The Law of the Land,” might by George Broadhurst at the Forty- elghth Street ‘Thea! To put the last act first, what do we find? The question is answered by a police inspector who is the proud father of twins and therefore stands ready and eager to save a wife and Mother from the legal penalty of kill- ing the husband wno horsewhipped her little boy. Such Is life as Mr. Broadhurst sees it! He may not have fiitended his piay to be an argument dgainst twins eo far as police in- @pectors are concerned, but the only Teasonable moral to oe drawn is that “even police inspectors may make mis- takes, Everything teads to this con- elusion. “The wife who serves emo- tional porposes has nothing in com- Mot with her husbund, not even her child, French, you say? The apirit iw willing, but the flesh is American, written and produced last tre. and that Ip what makes the whole af- | fair impossible, We can't change the jaw of our; land to suit the convenience of a playwright. This ts awkward, but nevertheless true. Mr, Broadhurst has simply taken matters into his own | hand and miade himself a sort of Simon Legree to lash. the conven. tional into melodrama. The husband whips the child who naturally turns to his real father, ana to prevent fur- ther cruelty the mother shoots man. The whole story {s told in a} crude and inful firi et, Then it is repeated again and again, until the! police inspector, patting himself on the chest for his triumph of twins, takes charge of the fourth act.

The police Inspector for- gets his duty and remembers only that he is the father of twins. The tale of whipping has cut him to the soul, He takes the story out of the mother's mouth and finisher it to his own satisfaction. She took the re- volver in her trembling hand— dropped it—bang!—and the bullet went straight to the heart of her brutal husband, There was nothing more to do, he The play, by the grace of the police inspector, had come to the happy ending designed for it by the merciful author, If Mr. Broadhurst seemed unnecessarily brutal in wield- jing the whip, he at least showed a | disposition to soften the blows by j bringing comedy into play at odd— | 1 might say very odd—momenta. By this means, however, he only succeeded in emphasizing the fact that he had written @ very bad and,| an extremely unpleasant play. In the ‘ tnelemant language of police circles, “The Law of the Land” is a dramatic | frame-up, with sentimental tenden- | cles, This might be forgiven, let me add, if the play did not work #0 auto- | matically as to betray every sign of being machine-made. The acting, tro, was largely me- ‘chanical, Miss Julia Dean did noth- ing but as the distressed hero- ine. Her anguish was expressed only in facial contortions that became painful by repetition, and she never once struck the deep, maternal note so necessary to the meaning of her role. Milton Sills played the lover as though | he were fulfilling a duty, but George |Graham, as the secretary who stood 4 the wife in her hour of need, dis- Played both feeling and cleverness, George Fawcett took the last act com- pletely into his hands as the police inspector by r force of his per- sonality, It was no fault of his that an inspector, simply because he could lay claim to twins, should take it upon himself to lay down “The Law of the Land.” ——— | EAST SIDE BANKER HELD.
