It wouldn't do, of course, to keep up this sort of thing Miss Hurst realises the ne- ceasity of whitewashing her heroine and sets about it somewhat awk- wardly by having a tipsy guest read aloud a newspaper paragraph oon- veying the intelligence that Lieut. Gerald Fishback is dying in @ hospital whereupon Hester starts out to tnd him, He is blind and his lungs are burned by gas. She takes him to her apartment and marries him. Then he dies, and Hester leaves her rich patron to go back to work in a de- thas no real value. It is as theattio as stage money, But this is small mittyr compared with its suggestion, \uaf for a girl of He ter’s tendencies “the Bronx is a ping-stone to Riverside Drive,’ that it is an easy mattef to wheedle @ man into buying a coat costing $28,000, Exploitation of such ideas in Faversham in “The Silver Fox.” Garrick—Lou Tellegen in Juan.” Belmont—Richard Bennett in “The Hero.” Knickerbocker—“The Merry Widow.” TUESDAY NIGHT.

For that matter having passed through the vicious phase of her adventures, Hester seems merely to be dramatizing herself once she Teaches the goldier. Helen MacKellar acts well enough and looks even better in her finery fhe quite succeeds in making thi girl at first a healthy young animal, in spite of the extravagant nonsense she babbles. In the iets ecene Miss MacKellar is at a dvantage, for one's sympathies ae wholly with the blind soldier. Frank M. Thomas plays this part simply and appeal- ingly. One of the best pieces of work in the performance is done by Lucille Le Verne, as the negress, who busies| , herself looking after Hester in the Riverside Drive apartment. As this case-hardened, yet good-natured sin- ner, Miss La Verne is a great help to the play. Hermione Shone also has her humorous moments as a brazen- ly frank gold digger, and Leo Don- nelly is by no means shy as the flip- pant salesman. E. F. Bostwick easily makes the rich rounder true to type. Mary Shaw is excessively sentimen- tal as the aunt who follows Mrs. War- ren’s profession. But she is out of the play after one act—lucky woman!
