Only the callous-hearted or the iron-nerved could resist.the physical shock that the Princess management so dearly loves to produce. It is all a matter of taste, of course, but the fact remains that “Across | Charles A. Taylor ‘the Border” makes the last and greatest impression upon the sensitive mind, fot to mention the nerves. This vivid suggestion of the European conflict}not only roamed thé more or ,/ offers the sympathetic point of view of a woman, and in this light Miss bounéle: Beulah Marte Dix’s play may be accepted as an altogether human document. A’ young lieutenant is mortally turns from a voyage would be quick | from the conventional ded, and his mental and spiritual experiences are disclosed in a vision | th that takes him back along the line of march that is marked by devasmuel and suffering. The misery he has helped to inflict upon women and chil- dren is made clear to him in the home of @ peasant; he realizes actual sut- fering in the freezing “Place of the Winds,” and he tries vainly to mal his protest against killing in the hospital where he dies. His plea the first toy placed in his hand as hild wi the play its ficance, while his long- in the end sums up his career, Miss Dix has written a play of the times with sympathetic imagination. qn she has overwritten it, for lay practically resolves iteelf into a one-man part, but tunately it receives poth vigorout sensitive treatment at the han wid Powell, a newcomer to the who makes his mark as an actor of fine calibre in an extremely ing role. esterday afternoon Mr. Powell achieved what very few young actors could have done in contrasting the courageous daring of the soldier with the nerve-wracked, tortured spirit that sees things as they are “across they border.” Holbrook Blinn stood ly ‘aside ae ‘the ‘master of the ° who pointe ie way toward suffering humanity. And now let me pay my respects to Roe ‘Truesdell, an actor ‘tur author. If he were an Engilsb- man he could not have put more “ re” into “The For” than his istic little play possesses. He has done an admirable bit of work. though IT can not agree with him that the ‘marine engineer who unexpectedly re- ss mentally to think of calling © police after killing the innocent man he finds with his untrustworthy wife when her real lover turns up. The Scotch engineer, elementai and brutal, would be more iikely to make @ clean job of it once he had murder in his heart. But the back room of the little shop is filled with dialogue toa Smilie Polini, who is at her portraying the ty: knows only life in the rough, and to Mr. Blinn, whose heavy, brutal work as the husband is iike a return to ‘he Black Mas! janks to George Ade, there is both le and @ laugh in “Nettie” that 4 cynical touch to life may find it in @ city famous for its, aurants. After two victims of a ‘salamander have laid claim to a table and compared the gifts they are bearing, Mr. Blinn comes in as a fatuous old boy and enjoys the privi. lege of paying for a dinner. But the fact that we are not permitted to see Nettie is disappointment. As a dramatist, if not as a humorist, Mr. Ade should have considered this littie point. In his own words, an audience is alwaye from Sissourt, As for “The Denial,” by J. B. Lar- rie, I can’t say that I think’ it worth while. The gentleman who came be- fore the curtain yesterday afternoon had no need to apologize for his in- ability to show us the death house at Sing Sing. Horror for horror’s sake means very little in a dramatic sense. It 1s enough to say that a murderer about to electrocuted saves his mother from knowing the worst of him by denying he is her son who left home as a boy, and convinces her by saying he killed her boy, who Don’t Walk.

This was followed by the tableaux of “Walpurgis Night,” from Gounod’s usually omitted from the opera. ‘Here again the ar- rangement was by M. Clustine, the scenery this time by Bidney H. Sime, an English artist, the costumes de-| E, signed by L. Orley de Cava. Finally, there were charming divertissements that ended with Giazounoff’s “Bac- chanale," danced with riotous aban- don by Mile. Paviowa and M. Volinine. From first to last the dancing by the whole company was as beautiful as much of it was surprising. Theodure Stier led the orchestra efficiently.
