¢ THE NEW PLAYS @ “Sinners” the Cause of Considerable Innocent Merriment BY CHARLES DARNTON. JOR one act at the Playhouse last night “Sinners” promised to be some- thing like “The Degenerates,” with which Mra, Langtry struggled desperately some fifteen years ago. But a poker party in a New York fiat was followed by hymn-singing in @ vine-clad cottage, and except for the fact that a fat old sinner nearly died of apoplexy in the front yard there was nothing to make ono take the play seriously. It may truthfully be said that “Sinners” caused considerable innocent merriment, thanks to a happy disposition on the part of the audience to laugh at every opportunity, and even to make some opportunities for iteelf. ‘When Florence Nash was in evidence as an incorrigible Jittie grafter, how- ever, the fun waa genuine. Miss Naph, in her droil, dry, calculating way, made the most of a role much like that of Aggie Lynch in “Within the Law.” JOC.

Though the acting in these two in- stances was admirable, it soon became ; apparent that the author, Owen | Davis, had nothing to say.

There's no knowing what might have happened to her if she had gone there with her way friends, The point is she was denied this experience. But she bare- ly escaped the horrors of a restaurant dinner with music, Just as Hilda Newton, who graced the fat sinner’s emablishment and felt herself quite lost to Great Falls, N, H., had put Mary into a dinner frock designed to encourage lumbago, Horace Worth, a good but tactiens man, arrived from Great Falls with grave news of Mra. Horton's health and indicated his de- sire to hurry right back by glancing «| Suspictously about the apartment and then declaring in high and righteous tones: “I can’t breathe this air for Jong!” But the pokér game was really funny, with thrifty little Polly raking in the shekels every time she dealt ‘the cards and losing no opportunity to remind her “gentleman fridénd” thet extravagance was not his be- evtting sin.

This could hardly be accepted as a true picture of New England life, It wes more like @ highly colored chromo, Unfortunately, the unex- pected visit was marred by the trouble-making Horace, who told Marys mother just who and what her guesta were aftet Polly had gone to the trouble of saying they were properly married.

When the fat sinner learned of Hilda's decision to leave him and the primrose path he tried to smash the doctor nearly died of apoplexy in the attempt.
