L'tali Siork company did riMtiaik-A riMtiaik-A Hbly clever work in "The (.'onspiiacy' put on last niclit ut the. opening ol" the week's bill. Tiie play was well staged and the actors fitted Into their roles as if made for them. For a first night's production it moved with a smoothness worthy ot many performances. The play is a thrilling three-act police-detective police-detective comedy by Robert Baker and John Emerson, with the plot laid at the time of the investigation of graft in the police department of New York in 1912. The sister of the district attorney, attor-ney, -who lias been the victim ol" a band of criminals, starts out to help her brother broth-er bring l hem to iustice. She becomes stenographer to the leader of the band, and just as she has discovered the last bit of evidence which will convict the cutthroats, the leader discovers who she Is and threatens to give an order for her brother's death at I he hands of some of his confederates if she does not agree to be silent and give hp the evidence she has secured. As he reaches for the telephone to give the order, the girl stabs him to death. The search for the murderer and the flight of the ,girl forms the' plot of the play. At "The Refuge," a settlement house, where the first act is laid, the girl seeking a place to stay, meets a newspaper reporter, who insists on having hav-ing her story that he may be her friend. Through his offices she secures a position posi-tion as stenographer to Winthrop Olaver-ing, Olaver-ing, an author of detective stories, who is a fanatic on the subject of criminology. He writes a story dealing with the murder mur-der just committed, in which he takes the theory that the stenographer committed com-mitted the crime. He makes the story, which he dictates to the girl, so realistic that the stenographer almost collapses under the strain. The police have an altogether different theory and poke fun at the author. As the story grows to a climax and the girl Is growing almost frantic, the author discovers her Identity and is on the point of turning her over to the police po-lice when she tells him who n she really Is and points out to him whata triumph it will be for him to turn the criminal gang over to "justice and what a wonderful won-derful climax it will be for his stories. He yields to her argument and arranges the denouncement in a most dramatic manner. The reporter, of course, plays his part in the final working out of the ways of justice and the play ends with a pretty little love scene between him and the girl stenographer, which the author appropriates as all his. own. Miss Lillian Kemble does some exceptionally excep-tionally strong emotional work in the role of Margaret, the stenographer. She is particularly clever In the climax at the end of the second act, Charles Mackay achieves the unusual feat of a natural stage newspaper reporter. The leading piece of character work In the play, however, is that of Winthrope Claverlng, which is done with the perfection of art py Wilson Reynolds. This is the best vehicle which Mr. Reynolds has yet had for his unusual talent and he takes advantage ad-vantage of It to the fullest extent. Miss Margaret Chaffee as Juanita Perez, the Spanish woman, who is associated as-sociated with the criminal band, handles a difficult and fascinating role with great skill. Miss Vida Croly in the double role of Rose Town, secretary of the set-; set-; tlement house, and the old negro servant ! of Winthrop Clavering, is excellent. Arthur Ar-thur Morse Moon, as Captain Ryan, of the police force, while appearing tor only a short while, got hiB usual enthusiastic reception from the audience. The parts were all well assumed and the work of the entire company reflected credit upon them. THE Broadway theater apparently Is keeping up the stride set and Is living liv-ing up to the promises of the management manage-ment for following the presentation of "The Virginian;" with Dustin Farnum, is another stage favorite lrj the title role of her greatest success in the form of Henrietta Hen-rietta Crosman in that emotional drama of mother love, "The Unwelome Mrs. Hatch." This second release of the Fa- in ous Players' company under the direction direc-tion of Daniel Fro lima n tor the Paramount Para-mount programme lollnws closely the situations sit-uations in the play which was such a hit several years ago. This heavy drama, which is in four parts, is relieved on the programme by a couple of additional reels, one a comedy com-edy in the form of Colonel Heezaliar, the other showing 'strange animals of South America. ' A cello solo by Otto King, accompanied ac-companied on the piano by Mrs. Butt, rounds out possihly the best programme presented to date at the Broadway theater. the-ater. The story of "The Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch" deals with a neglected wife, who is about to elope and who leaves a note for her husband to that effect, bqt at the last moment Die love for child is' a factor in her changing her mind. However, the husband lias already read the note and forbids her the house. She goes west and starts life anew under the name of Mrs. Hatch. The husband remarries and the daughter daugh-ter eventually is about to be married when the mother returns. How the family fam-ily is eventually reunited and several people peo-ple get their just deserts is told on the screen in a fashion associated with the production of the Famous Players. The piece is splendidly mounted and plaved throughout: by the excellent support sup-port and Miss Crosman in finished fashion. Taken all In all. "The Unwelcome Unwel-come Mrs. Hatch" Is well worth while and Is another feather In the cap of the popular photo drama. |
