TI THE PLAY LAST NIGH Mil I i The applause at the end of the thira act of Strongheart at the Grand last night was so insistent that Robert iJde-son came down to the footlights for a brief hand to hand lk with the audience. There had been four curtain calls at the end 6f the second act an-r there were seven at the end of the EAe- son falls somewhat short of Tim Murnny as a curtain orator, out he made a mcdest little talk that was pleasing and in perfect taste Strongheart Is the best purely dramatic r'p-t-7 Torifi'T has sen this yoar.

The play is superior to The College Widow j.the cum is equal, if no: superior, to that seen In The Heir to the Hoorah. It was a remarkable nttricion, considering the miles that intervene between Topeka and Broadway, hands slaved, and acted with intelligence and skill. nontrhenrt is the work if William C. DeMille and Is, we believe, that young man's maiden effort. DeMille is the son of H.

C. DeMille, who wroe The Wife, The Charity Hall and other plays In collaboration with Relasco. s.nd comes by his talent and knowledge cf stagecraft honestly. The story of the play Is simple enough. Strongheart.

an Indian educated at Carlisle, goes to Co-lumbli, making the fno'bill lea in. fallsin love with a rirl. the sister o. or.e of his chums. Of her fain'iy objects on account of vhe ruci-l 1iff--rence of the two and of course the jiirl goes counter to her family and accepts her Indian lover.

Rut Stroisrhesn-; is tall i back to the tribe by deith of his fnther, the chief, and knowln the girl he loves could not live the life of ui people gives her up over her It isn't oftrn that the second act of a play Is worth remembering, but the second act of Strongheart is really the best of the four. It shows the Columbia football team in the club house between the halves of the crucial game, of the season with the head coach dressing them down, lt Is a wonderfully realistic thing and the talk of the coach and his abuse of the por of wha occuTred betwfin the of anfcoairgmellyed this year. Ira Hard did ths. roach Inimitably. His characterization of the part was al tnort perfect.

Hard doubled in the role of Black Eagle, the messenger sent from the reservation to recall Strongheart to his tribe. His walk off the statre in the iriue. expres- ui aramanc an mis writer nas ever seen. Edeson Is doing the work of his life In Strongheart. He had a speaking acquaintance with Topeka previous to last evening, having been seen here two years ago In Richard HTding Davis's frivolous at hP is an RCtor of skj" and extensive metes and bounds.
