A play may have a dlalcgu! brimful of wit and overflowing with grand language, but if it lacks dranatlc construction, contains no vivid stag pictures or climaxes, then it lacks the a-eat essentials of a auccesaful play.

Crescent Theavtr. The action of "What Happened to Jones," George H. Broadhurst's successful farce, which comes to the Crescent Theatre this week, beginning to-night, all takes place In one tvening In the home of Ebenezer Goodly, a professor of anatomy, in an eastern university. The professor's family consists of his wife, two daughters, his ward, his wife's maiden sister and a Swedish servant girl. The family la expecting the arrival of the Rev.

Anthony Goodly. D. bishop of Ballarat. who has not seen his brother for thirty years, and who haa never met any of the members of his household. The character of the bishop is shown by the two books he wrote.

"The Mistakes of Darwin, or the Falsity of Theory of Evolution." and "Snowdrops and Violets," a few blossoms from Lis poetical garden. Ostensibly, the bishop Is coming simply to see his brother after so many years Of separation, but really his visit la for a very different purpose. The professor. In his letters, had so descanted on the many virtues of his sister-in-law that the bishop, although a stranger to her. had made bold to write to her, the result being, after several years of correspondence, he is coming to marry her.

Jones, a drummer for a hymn book house, who sells playing cards aa a side line, dons clerical garb and piays the Dishop. The farce has two very amusing subplots running through It. Jonas knows nothing of Australia, and less of evolution, about which Minerva Is anxious to Interrogate him. Wheu questioned about "Snowdrops and Violets1' he disclaims all knowledge of horticulture. He falls in lev with Cissy, the ward, aad Is claimed by AlTina, the maiden sister.

To still further complicate matters for him. the real bishop comes on the scene The efforts of Jones to keep the bishop out of sight of the family lead to some extremely novel and funny situations. The company includes George Larsen. Walter Lennox. Barney Me-Donougbv Gilbert Gardner, Harry Levis n.
