THE HEW YORK TIMES. TUESDAY. 'AUGUST 3. 1D09 "THE ONLY LAW" AT THE HACKETT The Tenderloin Is Again Scene for a Tiresomo Recital. the 4- PLAY VULCAR AND CRUDE Mostly Words and Long Pauses with Telephonic Punctuation Indifferent Acting.

Martell K. Sheerer "The Only Uw," prolucid it the Hackett Theatre last night. i a waste of words, nauseous and miasmatic, and tf puch unrelieved tediousness that Its days aurely numbered. Five people figure In its story if story it may be called. Of the number the only one who appears to have the slightest conception of decency.

Is a professional wiretapper and confidence man, and in his esse virtue Is merely relative. To label the other characters would be to share lit the offense with Wilson Mis-, ner and George Bronson-Howard, the authors ef the. play. Presumably the Tenderloin does harbor people of the eless represented, and their lives at times are not lacking in those qualities of human interest which have been known to make a play. Put no one would guess It from the present exhibition.

"The Only Law contains a certain quantity of vulgar flippancy, which may be trusted to get sorre laughs, but after a time this grows tedious, and there Is nothing xc take its Iteiug square with a -pal Is the only law we know" is he text printed cn the r.rogramme and spoken at one point by th drab heroine of the story, but practically everythlrg that is done on the stage goes to disprove the And the only apparent mora! appears to be that if a woman will only lie hard enough and long enough, she will get what give wants. Jn this case it is a husband with a hank roll and a cottage with real roses, which, take it In on may. is rather a dubious sort of moral. Of action the play has almost none unless one admit under that head the arrested actions of various people who rarely make a movement until they have theuiht about It several times, who make l'n dramatij pauses every time thev open or clone a door or start to cross the staie. Anl.

as if these (It-lays were not enough, there was an almost continuous performs ice by the telephone and door Nils, the cues for which must have cov-eerd a large section of the manuscript. In the first act it is apparent that "Jean of the Casino" has been supporting MacAvoy of Broadway." a young man whose exact status cannot be politely mentioned. They are living in a small, hotel in the forties." with Hor-tense of the Casino a next door neighbor anj occasional visitors in the shape of PanniJter of Wall Street, who is paying all expenses and who wants to marry Jean, and Spider, the wire-tapper, who is a sort of household watch-dog. Jean doesn't mind taking Bannister's money, hut she is set on marrving MacAvoy, who. when he learns of the Wall Street man's intentions, advices prompt acceptance on the grounds that it will mean easy living for Jean and for himself as well.

When Jean flatly refuses to take advantage of the broker's innocence, MacAvoy. who has obtained possession of her money, arranges to go to Europe. But his scheme is discovered by Spider, who has just robbed a man and who now makes it appear that MacAvoy was the tbief. The virtuous Bpider. e'ter having thus delayed MacAvop's departure, saves him from the law, ana then throws him out of the house.

After that he invites the broker in, assures hjm of Jean's com. plete innocence of all wrong, and depurts with the happy assurance that the pair will soon be married. Incidentally, he i rsvaptrs arrest lor nis own crime, and retains the profits. The tale is silly, and its recital tedious I In th he extreme, the onlv redeeming feat- being an occasional line of Tenderloin g. which appears 1o have been learned I ure slang.

Sidney Drew, known to the footlights as "George Cameron," furnished the vehicle for her husband's return from vaudeville to the legitimate last night at Daly's. The playlet, for It Is little more, beginning at 8:30 and ending, with long Intermissions between the three acts, at is a farce. Instead of Billy," the title really should have been Teeth." It in fact, an expanded version of a vaudeville klt known as Billy's Tombstone." It is all about a very strenuous young football player, who In" an accident on the gridiron Is prosaically kicked in the face and loses four of his front teetn. It Is given out by his fond family that ho has received serious injuries, and while the dentist la operating upon him his friends are led to believe that the eminent physicians and surgeons are at work on him. Finally the missing Incisors are replenished and the voung man (Mr.

Drew) is shipped off by boat to Havana with his sister to ge accustomed to them. Mrs. Sloane and Tier daughter. Beatrice, with whom Billy Is very much In love, happen to take ship on the same boat. iSam Eustace, a rather Insipid young man, also in love with Beatrice, who was in college for a time with Hillv, and for obvious reasons thinks little of htm, is also along.

After suitable complications and many laughs. Billy Is knocked over by a precipitous steward and loses his unfamiliar teeth. Sister is corr.miusioneti to find them or beg. borrow, or steal another tet. She Is all sympathy for her brother In his predicament, and In exprefrsinjr It allows him to speak one of the funniest lines in the pice.

I don't want sympathy; I want teeth," shouts Billy, between Hsps. The search goes on, Billy himself scan, nlng the deck with the aid of a pocket electric searchlight. In the meantime the misKintr teeth have been found by the bo'sun, who turns them over to the steward. In his tour of the deck Billy becomes confused, raps on Mrs. Bloane's stateroom door, thinking it Is his sister's, and discovers her owr.

false Incisors rest ing peacefully in a glass by the windo' J-ie purloins them. Tl rhe loss is discovered by Beatrice, who appeals to a very sick fam, who has gained an advantage in trie meantime by telling her ot the rour things that must stand between Billy and her. The steward proceeds to auction off Billy's teeth. Sam supposes they aru Mrs. Ploane's.

The bidding is furious and fast, Ailc dome the talking for her tongue-tied brother, lie finally win at Sl.WM rectifies his own speech, returns Mrs. Sloane'g (lost teeth, and, meeting Beatrice in the middle of the deck, hisses her nuTtrii between his own false teeth, the first time he has been able to navigate the sinee his loss.

Peter, the chimpanzee brought over from Paris by William Haramerstein, drew large audiences at the Victoria Theatre yesterday afternoon, where he made his first American appearance, and on the roof garden in the evening. The animal's antics greatly amused the audience. Peter came on the stage dressed In evening clothes, and immediately without any prompting from his owner, Mr. McArdle. He lighted a long black cigar and smoked it with evident enjoyment.

Then he ate from a plate, using with dexterity a knife and fork. After that he went to bed, only to geet tip and put on roller skates. skating kept the audience delighted. He cut all kinds of fancy figures, dodging in and out of long rows of bottles without upsetting them, and then he performed for nearly hair an hour on a bicycle. He rode the machine with ease even without touching ihe handlebars and with out any coaching on the part of his owner, After the performance some one handed up a large basket of fruit and flowers.

Peter dug into it until he brought out a ihia nnnii nn.l then sat down on the nt.ljr like a delighted child and devoured iu rsen the performance enaea walked down to the footlights and gravely bowed to the audience.

H.CLAY PIERCE YEDS MRS. Y. P. BURROWES Marriage in London by Special License Attended by Less Than Dozen People. COUPLE OFF FOR CONTINENT Oil Man and Bride Saw Record of Marriage in Sama Church of Theodore Roosevelt.

special Cable to The New Tork Times. LONDON. Aug. 2. Henry Clay Pierce, the wealthy American oil man of New Tork and bt.

Louis, was married to-day by special license at St. George's, Hanover Square, to Mrs. Vlr-riniaPrlckett Burrowes of Paris and New York: and before that of Edwards-vilie. 111. St.

George's is the church of fashionable weddings, but to-day was a. bank holiday and the West End was totally deserted, so that the bridegroom's desire for privacy was satisfied to the utmost. There were altogether not a dozen persons present at the ceremony. The chancel was handsomely decorated with flowers of rare varieties, and the bride carried a bouques of odonto-glossom. orchids, and white heather which alone cost the groom 200 guineas, or The bride wore a dress of gray crOpe de chine and a "bis hat with white feathers.

Henry It. Anderson, wearing an unconventional loungo suit, gave the bride away, and she was attended by her daughter. Virginia Burrowes. a tall young woman apparently about years old-Baron Glno de Morpurgo, who is well know to American habitues of fashionable hotels In London and Paris, acted as best man, and during the service a special selection of music was rendered by the organist of the church. When the newly married couple had signed the register the rector of the church, who had officiated, proudly showed, them the entry recording the wedding of Theodore Roosevelt In this same church.

MT. Pierce described himself on the register as a financier of full age, and the bride put herself down as. a widow of full age, daughter of William Russell Pricket banker. The special license was obtained from the Archbishop of Canterbury by the payment of 30 guineas, or 150. With t.he exception of peers and members of Parliament who are entitled to demand special wedding licenses as a right, British subjjets are required to assign some specific cause why the usual preliminaries should be dispensed with, but with Americans it is the rule to assume that they merely desire to be married in an English church and have no time to qualify resldentlally.

After a luncheon at the RItz Mr. and Mrs. Pierce went to the Continent to pass their honeymoon at Evian-les-Bains. They attended Saturday night the closing performance of The Merry Widow at Daly's Theatre, and seemed greatly to enjoy the -enthusiastic demonstrations which marked the end of the piece's long run.
