GS? V'V-'vJ. ' '.' .. 4 THE WASHINGTON HERAU). SUNDAY OCTOBER 6. 1912. Season Opens With Sunshine And Shadows By JULIA CHAXDLKK MAM In o. resume of the theatrical offerings oT the past week I like to talk first of the most beautiful of them ail, which means, of course, "The. Rainbow drama which catches the Iridescent shimmer of the lovely thins from which It lakes Its name, tor mis play in its essence a simple story of paternal love Is so bedecked witn toe ncnes or a sen sitivo Imagination, and a sense of humor put in woras mat it raxner eiuues ue scrlptlon.

At the climax of the second act. when hat foil hi little maid good-by. the dia logue Is couched In a comedy vein be cause Cynthia thinks she Is going away for but a day. while the father knows that she Is going out of his life forever.

He makes the episode the most Intensely dramatic cll- max mat x iiatc ocw , v .....o- msny a long jear. When "The Rainbow" had Its premiere at the Columbia Theater In the earl spring the surprise of the production was Ituth Chatterton. a slight, lissome girl still In the schoolroom age. whose pic ture of Cynthia, 'The IJttle Maid" of Nell Sumner, afterward took New Tork by storm, and made even seasoned critics rate. Her triumph In 'The Rain bow" brought particular pride to Wash lngtonlsns and to Messrs. Metzerott and Berger, for Miss Chatterton made her debut In the Columbia Stock Company when Orme Caldara and Julia Dean were featured there. Miss hrterton went on the stage as a dare She and her mother were visiting Washington The girl had a friend play ing in the Columbia company, who. be cause of a suggestion made by the stage manager, who needed an engenue for 'The Prince Chap." dared Miss Chatter ton to go on. She did. and with a suc cess sufficient to make the management feel Justified in offering her an engage ment, he result of which is now history. The Belasco Theater opened its au tumn season with "Two Little Brides." a musical comed). with James T. Pow ers In the stellar role, heard for the first time In Washington last week. The operetta is a pleasing, though trifling, musical show, with the vagaries of plot usual to comeaies wun a mfi setting The score Is sufficiently divert ing and tuneful however, despite the tart that one waits in 'vain for the lilt' Ine- melodv of a dominating strain. The Letter song, which Is delightfully sung by Anna Wheaton ana Lena .nusnes . the nearest approacn to mis cu " score offers. lim T Powers Inimitable gift comedy lifts "Two Little Brides" from medlocrit) Mr Powers tremolo, sibi lant monoloirue. and excruciatingly funny facial contortions elicit iowls of laughter nhmrtcr he Is In evidence, which is most of the time, since his unique per sonallt) dominates the offering 'The Other Man' left the boards last nleht for reconstruction, having com Dieted its Washington engagement and the Inaugural week of the new season of the National Theater This Dial by Eugene W Presbrey ps etiological in theme, the author hav ing conceited an idea wnicn nas a mum tude of unusucl possibilities the major ity of which he lost In the development of the story We look to the serious play for the preservation of the tenets of the stsge for the elevation of the human mind and the appeal to the higher of the hu man emotions The drama which pur ports to be serious nd )et adds nothing to the sum total or nunun Knowieage, sympathy or understanding falls In Its mission. "The Other Man' is a serious play, falling in appeal, because It accomplishes none of these things. It Is Impossible to say what will be accomplished by Its re construction, but it seems that its with drawal In Its present form is the better part of wisdom on the part of Its pro ducers. One of the most vital promises of the new season was last week fulfilled in the presentation of The Divorce Question ' at the Academ). While the consequences of the dissolution of the marriage ows of Mr and Mrs. Manners, as depicted In this frank and earnest protest against divorce are "not true to life (Blnce men and women who decide to part do not usuall) desert their children, leaving them to sink to the most degrading stages of vice), jet the characterizations presented b the excellent compan) of players seen at the Academy last week are so strong and vivid as to have made the offering one of exceptional dramatic merit. Those who have witnessed the revolt ing features of the drug habit attribute to William V Mong, who was seen as "Donle Doe." the degraded son of the divorced pair, a rerrarkabl) faithful lm-1 personation, while to Virginia Pearson, in the role of the sister, who has sunk Into the muck. Is due the credit of a splendidly effective portrayal Charlotte Granville, as the unnatural mother of the pair, plays the role with a poise and sympathy sufficient to win the highest approbation of those who are accus tomed to excellence In dramatic charac terization EDWARD H. EOBINS TO HAVE STRENUOUS SEASON A letter from Edward H. Robins, the former leading man of the Columbia Flayers, states that the play In which he Is to appear under the Belasco man agement will .not be produced until late in the season, in consequence of which Mr. Roblm will play a six weeks' stock engagement at the College Theater. In Chicago, at which he will be featured as star of the organization. At the close of this engagement Mr Robins will return to New York for the rehearsal of a play by Avery Hapwood, In which he will appear until the Belasco production Is read), all of which looks as If the popular leading man Is to have a somewhat strenuous season. DILLINGHAM ACCUSES HEBZ TOE MATRIMONIAL WOES Du-lne a rehearsal of "The Charity Girl" In New York Ralph Herz looked tadly at Charles Dillingham and said:, "You know you are the cause of all ml troubles. If It hadn't been for you I should not have married." Mr, Dillingham did not reply at the moment, but later ho gave the following explanation to a friend who had over beard the remark: "In a way Herz Is telling the truth. Ton ace, I bad engaged him to support Lulu Qlasex in "Dolly Dollars.' A great eons had be-in written for Herz, and Miss Closer refused to let him sing It. I simply bad to have that song In the piece, so I urged him on to marry her. knowing that then she would give her consent to the number."
