IL ml IP 4 1 1 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: TUESDAY. OCTOBER 4. 1910. 8 i I JVews of the Theaters. In the A Pleasant Evening the Underworld in 'yl- I Wh tfr-.

1 I Iff- if i "oJ I a i fas 1 with Paul Armstrong. BY PERCY HAMMOND. THAT picturesque snare for the unwarily amorous known In police vernacular as the badger game does not seem at first glimpse to be the Inspiration for an evening of polite entertainment In the theater. Yet as visualized by the Messrs. Paul Armstrong and Wilson Mlzner last night at the Princess in their new contribution to dramatic literature, "The Deep Purple," it proved to be a dashing, sophisticated, melodramatic vignette of the O.

Henry type, full of graphic Intrigue, quick and vlvld speech, and some pleasantly Irresponsible romance all participated In by a lot of varied characters, most of them with that essential tang which makes people Interesting In and out of the drama. Some days ago a popular woman star advised this writer that all dramatic criticism in the middle west should begin with one of two remarks. The first was, "This play is good," and the second, This play is bad," the argument being that anything less elementally candid In Impotent as counsel to the theatergoer. Though more optimistic in the matter than Is this woman star, we shall accept for the moment her cynical opinion and, going back to the beginning, shall say that The Deep Purple Is a good play of its kind. As another theatergoer remarked after the first act The Deep Purple ought to catch the public coming and going the lower classes who badger and the upper classes who are badgered.

It will do more than this. It will amuse the great majority which cares for excellent thrills of the deft, likable, bated-breath sort, and who moreover are somewhat particular about plausibility In their plays. Our sparse collection of first-night experts was in evidence last evening and gave The Deep Purple the unqualified evidence of Its Interest. Perhaps only once in the proceedings was there more than tne usual reason for that uncomfortable inquiry "Why?" That was when Bill Lake, breezy mining engineer from the outlands. consented to go at the request of a beauteous female to her apartment and that of her mother to give her counsel as to the value of mining stocks.

This dance will be given on Oct. 17 In the club house on Ashland boulevard. As last year, the assemblies will hold an important place on the calendar of events for the west side. The events will serve a double purpose; the proceeds wm be added to the fund for the clearing of the club house from debt as well as adding to the enjoyment of the young folk of the west side, the ambition of the members of the organization being to make their club house a center for the young people.

In the series of a half dozen entertainments many special affairs have been arranged. be the most fertile "come-on that Harry Le-land. the crook, had cultivated In many a day. With the ideal frontier spirit of adventure, he went, however, because he liked excitement and the looks of the girl, and was also confident that he would emerge from the escapade reasonably immune. And- so he did, for he pulled hij dtfflss CcidAerj'jie Cdvej-i, wiili "Tjs 3)eej Purple gun at the psychological moment and made the most graceful exit possible, taking with him the lovely lady who had allured him thither.

But Gladys did not applaud. A doubt had come to her mind. Perhaps Ross Tremaine did not love her as much as she had so fondly imagined.

"A widow doesn't give her admirer time to calculate," went on the authoress behind the footlights.

"She just reaches out and grabs him." Gladys shuddered. Would some bold widow reach out some day and grab her Ross Tremaine? Had she been too cold? Say, I wish they'd put on motion pictures," moaned Pa Grabcoin. "And now," said the lady on the stage. I will conclude with the poem which I once wrote, entitled Lovers Once, but Strangers Now." If she pulls that stuff I'm going home," said Pa Grabcoin, but Ma Grabcoin hissed to him to be silent. Miss Libbey extended her arms apparently towards the entire audience, but to Gladys It seemed that the authoress was looking at her alone.

Then she repeated those beautiful lines: Lovers once, but strangers now. Tho' pledged by manv a tender vow; Still I'd -ve this world to be All that I wag once to thee. The curtain went down with the audience applauding. ut our little heroine did not applaud. She eat with the tears rolling from her beautiful eyes.

"Lovers once, but strangers now." It could not be. Those words must be reversed she thought as she walked In a dazed fashion out Into the spacious foyer of the magnificent theater. Just Between Us Girls. BY SISTER MAR5T. WHENEVER I see a married man xceed-ingly free with his money, outside, sigh for second sight or would like to engage for one week as maid in that man's household.

I could take oath even without direct evi- ence that the splurging on outsiders is evened was trying to do better, but as having a hard time with it. At the end Mr. Morrigan in one of those effective scenes where the chivalry of outlaws has its most vlvld exposition, gracefully murdered Mr. Jameson Lee Finney as a debonair crook, and comfortably found the solution of the play. There were many bright, exciting situations, accompanied with flashes of excellently characteristic talk and business, and nothing was bungled in the recital of what happened.

Heretofore fr'. Armstrong, a virile observer and chronicler of proceedings in the underworld, has been a' trifle presumptuous in his formation of episode. But in The Deep Purple" he does little for which there Is no excuse, and his play, therefore, is the most reasonable of his interesting output. It is well stage flirected, too, by Mr. Hugh Ford, and most shrewdly cast by Mr.

Tyler, the producer. Interest Is added to what happens by the natural and effective deportment of Mr. Richard Bennett, as the noble, wholesome and adventurous mining engineer from the west; by Miss Ada Dwyer' perceptive impersonation of an ex-woman thief; by Miss Catherine Calvert's rather human picture of the unwitting lure, and by Mr. Emmett Corrigan's impressive characterization of the regenerate holdup man, who ends the play with a timely bullet. Mr.

Jameson Lee Finney is" a handsome. furtive, and velvety blackmailer, and Mr. W. J. Ferguson, a super-colored but imposing figure as a Dickenslan crook with side whiskers and a polysyllabic vocabulary.

GOVERNMENTAL ACTION FOR SOCIAL WELFARE" (Macmil-lan). In a logical and orderly manner they treat of the meaning of social welfare, the relation of governmental organization to society, principles of legislation for the promotion of social welfare, limitations on legislative activity, the work of the executive in the promotion of social welfare, the work of the judiciary in promoting social welfare, and the woi-k of the citizen in the same good work, It Is quite generally understood that the separation of West Virginia from the Old Dominion at the outbreak of the civil war was not an Incident of that great contest, but was the culmination of a long history which had its beginning many years earlier. The Investigator has been able to tell some, of the elements of that historic difference between the people of the tidewater region and those to the west. But there has not been available for the less informed a readable volume. of convenient compass which has been -devoted" to this special theme.

The want-is supplied according to the rules of modern writing by "SECTIONALISM IN VIRGINIA' FROM 1776 to 1861 (The University of Chicago Press). It is an expansion of a doctoral thesis presented to the University of Wisconsin by Charles H. Ambler. English students of history have manifested considerable interest in the civil war in America Its campaign have furnished material for Investigation by attendants upon British war colleges. Some of the most satisfactory books about It and its military leaders have been written by Englishmen.

But no such characterization can be applied properly to John Formby's "THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR" (Charles Scribner's Sons). The volume contains little of any value to an American, at least. 1 "GOOD MEN AND TRUE (Holt), a' humorous story of southwestern border life, has been somewhat amplified since it appeared In weekly installments In a popular periodical. It records the fact that typewriting Is not learned as easily on the outskirts of Mexico as It is In Chicago, for instance, and that many more exciting adventures befall the eager learner there than would be possible upon the street cars in a large city. The narrative is lively and filled with a certain rough and ready grim humor.

In one of the boxes sat a fashionable party. First of all, let me introduce our heroine, beautiful Gladys Grabcoin, whose round, frolicsome face was tanned from being kissed by all sorts of frolicsome winds and weather, the two cheeks were like two full blown crimson roses vying in hue (But piffle, piffle. For further description of Gladys, see In Love's Springtime, or Gladys, the Music Teacher's Daughter by Laura Jean Libbey, chapter page 3.) Besides Gladys, there were In the box her papa, who was not crazy about Laura, and her mother, who simply adored her and read every single line she wrote. Ross Tremaine also sat in- the box, but his heart was heavy. He loved Gladys madly, but for the 113th time she had refused to marry him and he feared she loved another.

He had brought Gladys and her family to the theater, hoping against hope that she might be melted by the sweet messages of love that would emanate from the talented authoress. For, said Ross Tremaine. bitterly, "if Laura Jean Libbey can't dope out this love stuff, then who can?" CHAPTER II. Strangers Once, but Lovers Now. There comes said Pa Grabcoin, suddenly.

I'd sooner see the performing seals, but I guess I'm Sure enough, the great audience was all agog as the curtain went up, disclosing none other than the great authoress, Laura Jean Libbey herself. She was dressed all in white silk, with a picture hat Just Jam full of ostrich tails. She carried a bouquet of red roses in her hand and was playful and skittish. look!" gurgled Ma Grabcoin, there stands the authoress of 'Kidnaped at the "She looks the part," growled Pa Grabcoin. Gee, I'd like to see Ihe performing seals." "Sch," grasped Ma Grabcoin, "she is going to speak." I hope she's going to speak," said Pa Grab-coin.

They tell me she tried to act this afternoon in a play she wrote herself. But she promised not to do it again, and tonight she's going to do the monologue she started out vt-h in New York. I'd sooner see something in pink tights hang by its toes from the flying trapeze." Ma Grabcoin sniffed, but at te mention of the fact that Miss Libbey was going to speak the identical love lines she spoke in New York. Ross Tremaine sat straight ur and glanced yearningly at Gladys. But the" little coquette pouted scornfully.

But listen. The authoress on the stage was speaking and every line sank deep in the heart of our mischievous Gladys. "I realty think," said the authores, "that American girls are too shv. They ought to take a leaf out of the Merry Widow's book and study It well. When the dearest fellow in the world sits by the window, absorbed In thought, fully half an hour while she sits on a sofa across the room, she imagines he Is studying out a way to propose.

The pretty widow knows he is far and away from the subject." CHAPTER III. Sunny Seas and Smiling Skies. I loved htm once and then Forever and forever." Little remains to be told. The words of the beautiful authoress on the stage had melted Gladys heart. She saw there was nothing so grand in the world as and so when Ross Tremaine stepped up-to her.

O'Hooley, Muldowny, Malone; Maddigan, Hallahan, Callahan, Fagan, O'Flynn, O'Brien, Magone." To an admirer of this song it would not be surprising that each and every one of these names had been given to various things of note, especially in cookery, since some of the most famous of chefs, French have been Irishmen. Mulligan filet of beef is even better, say some, than "Aristocratic Irish stew." Many an Irishman has Frenchified a native name and added it to some dish, with a wink to those who were not so gullible as not to recognize that it was Hibernian the cleverer Irishman he.

This causticness does not mean men of ordinary generosity to those outside the family circle; it concerns itself solely with the man who throws his money around, talks boastfully of what he spends, and is generally splurgy. Unless a man is a millionaire he has to be watchful of the pennies these days, much less the dollars, especially if he has a family to support. Did I make exception of millionaires? There is no man so little given to money Ringing as he who can best afford It. There was a man In, an office where once I spent many of my days" whom we used to call Gold Brick." He was such a splurger of gold, yet somehow we had the instinct that there was something crooked about him. We were fairly nauseated with our fellow worker's lavishness.

He would insist upon treating In season and out, would bring flowers to the women which none of us wanted was always sending up theater tickets and asking the whole office force to come out to lunch er dine with him. I was young in those days and merely thought his splurging common and Lad taste until an older woman said to me: "I'll wager my next week's envelope that Gold Brick's family knows what hunger means. These dreadful splurgers are equally dreadful stinters at home." She made it her business to find out or rather the discovery came to us by an adventure. One evening after dark we heard a child crying on the street. Going to the rescue, we came upon two tots of 8 and 10 weeping over a broken milk jug.

A big boy hadknocked into them, snatched their money, and run off. The kiddies were weeping not from fear of punishment but because mamma hadn't any more pennies at home." It did not take us long to discover that those shabby, thinly clad youngsters, wailing over that loss of 10 cents, were the children of Gold Brick, who threw money for show while his family needed the common decencies of living. If the splurger as sometimes happens has no family, he does his stinting on his landlady or his bill paying. Before you praise a man as so beautifully generous make sure that his generosity is not gold bricky; that some Innocent victim is not paying for it. "Girl in the Train" Is Tuneful.

New York, Oct. 3. Special. The Girl in the Train," which came tonight to the Globe theater, used to be In German The Divorced Wife," with the music by Leo Fall, who is responsible for the score of The Dollar Princess." H. B.

Smith, according to the announcement, has adapted the text from the German of Victor Leon. The operetta, like all those that come out of Vienna nowadays, lives, breathes, and has Its being in one captivatingly melodious and inviting waltz. It may not possess this latest specimen of the genius of the Austrian dance composer, the languid beauty that belonged to on or two of its predecessors, but it has a heady exhilaration that makes It unique In its rythmic gayety. The first act. which passed In a courtroom, dragged, but there was little of the music In the score apportioned to this third of the operetta, and what there was required more voice than some of the singers possessed.

But the second act abounded in melody. The dancing quintet was admirably done by June Grey and her four assistants, while Vera Michelena and Melville Stewart were quite capable vocally of giving the waltz its full value. So this act settled the fate of "The Girl In the Train." and gave the bone and sinew of full success to what had begun as a mildly entertaining performance.
