Taylor, secretary of the institute; R Clinton Balllnger and F. J. Wlssner* delivered brief addresses T H E THEAT E R. Columbia Theater. A remarkable play wax exhibited at the Columbia Theater last night. "The Melting Pot" has the Interest that must attach to soiaethine written from the heart. Outside the stage technique, of which Mr. Zaugwill should, with his ffequent experiences In theatric production, he a master, and beyond the literary charm which has so long distinguished his work, there is in this play the expression of intense feeling which has the shock and appeal of a human cry. The author has embodied in this work a sob of protest against the" sufferings that a devout and sensitive people have endured for ages gone by and an outburst of joy as the light shines on the future It is a sociological drama; one in which hard, solid thought takes the place of sentimentality; a work of great artistic value and of philosophic suggestion. It discusses the world and its assemblage of nations in the same spirit that Ibsen discusses the home. It bears the same relation to the ordinary problem play that calculus bears to the rule of three. The work of reducing so big a thought as the play involves to the limitations of stage expression has been well performed. The difficulties have been met with line craftsmanship. The play of emotion is quick and vivid. Vet it is a work that appeals first of ail to the intelligence. If It finds favor with seekers for diversion it must be with those wiio are ready to follow the complexities of a chess board rather than those who are content to observe the chance fall of playing cards. It is the announcement of a well-thought-out system of ethics and economics. The proposition submitted by the play Is that America?or rather New York cityIs the great melting pot In which racial hatreds must be fused and transformed. An example of the bitterest persecution known to history, the persecution of the Jewish people by the Russians, forms the basis of the plot. The IdVe of a young man for the daughter of a Russian officer wiio killed his family at Kishenef leads to one of the finest dramatic situations that the stage has to offer when the mutual discovery of identity is made. And the spirit of the new world in which the past must be forgotten and responsibility for tile future met animates a beautiful . conciliation. Reverence for tradition is manifested in a faithful reproduction of a number of orthodox Hebraic customs; and at the same time the feeling of modern patriotism is expressed with dignity and power. The principal figure of the drama is a young musician, a composer of highly sensitive nature. The type lends itself to the emotionality necessary to display the powers of an actor. The burden of interest falls almost entirely on the shoulders of this character, played with wonderful delicacy and intelligence by Mr. Walker Whiteside. The role is as strong in its temperamental quality as that of the Music Master, and Mr. Whiteside's artistic achievement is no less than that of l>avid Warfleld. The finest shadings of feeling are depicted in constant play. Mr. Whiteside has abundantly fulfilled the expectations he awakened when, a number of years ago, he appeared, with scant popular appreciation but with eminent efficiency, in a repertory of classical plays. Miss Crystal Heme lias qfce distinct merit of lihding herself gracefully and effectively to the composition of stage pictures. An excellent piece of acting is done by John Blair as the Russian nobleman, whose meeting face to face wlUi the sole survivor of the Klshenef massacre constitutes the great dramatic moment of the piece. Henry Vogel gave an impersonation of an orchestra leader which, without marring the symmetry of the performance, took immediate rank as an individual hit. The enthusiasm amounted to an ovation for Mr. Whiteside and for Mr. Zangwill. The latter took occasion to explain a scene which had been curtailed by the premature lowering jof the curtain. President Roosevelt was an interested auditor, and manifested his appreciation with frank spontaneity. New National. Victorien Sardou's three-act comedy "Divorcons" was the offering of Grace George and her splendid company at the National Theater last night. The play's brilliant lines, its ever changing situations, and withal its ever proneneis to keep the brighter side of life uppermost should serve to keep it long a favorite-with theater-goers who are tired of the problem play, and yet yearn at times for a bit of its spiciness. A foolish young wife, allured by no pne knows what, turns from a husband who has sipped all the sweets of life and overlooked the sweetest under his very eyes to tind consolation in a military uniform with less intelligence and more stupidity than'beaven gives to the average la>thario. The expected enactment of a new divorce iaw puts life into the situation?for the young wife, that siie may rid herself of the tiresome old fogy of a husband who really loves, but in a way neglects Her; to a young widow, because it will make a larger list of marriageable men to choose a husband from. I and to the husband's friend, because It J will enabie hirn to get rid of a very undesirable wife. The young wife's lover, if he were not so stupid, would come very near being a villain, for his attentions to her do not contemplate marriage, until her wily husband, when aroused to the situation, generously appears Ao waive all claim to her, and in doing so discloses that a small fortune goes with her.. The wife at lirst is delighted; then disappointed that iter husband can so easily part with her; and finally in a deliriously remorseful way opens her eyes to tiie merits.of tiie husband, the emptiness of her whilom cavalier, and concludes that the old fellow, with his allowance of (10,000 francs a year to her after all is better than a ninny with 2.600 francs, who lias declared In her hearing that he will make her walk a chalk line. The young wife, Cyprlenne, Mme. des Prunelles. could not have had a better Impersonator than Miss Oeorge. Her acting throughout was natural, fascinating, superb. It even covered with its cleverness the glaring defect in the vacillating wife's character, its mercenary side, and won for her the warm sympathy of the audience throughout. Frank t\'o-thing was at his best as Henri des Prunelles, the husband who had tired of sipping the sweets of life and cast them aside for a humdrum existence with a young wife whoso curiosity was great and who knew only enough of the spicier side of, life to want to taste a bit of it. Quiet, dignified and most effective at critical moments, Mr. "Worthing made ail that could be made of the part. Next to the two principals, the performance of that splendid character actor. Max Freeman, as Joseph, the all-wise, thoroughly seasoned and ripely experienced waiter, whs the feature of the play, i The cast as a whole w as excellent. Henry I Miller, Jr.. as Adhemar Gratlgnac, the | young military lover, presenting the weak . siide of that unfortunate individual with ; unerring certainty,.even though a bit too ; strongly perhaps; Rutli Benson, as the young widow. Teresa Toube, maid to Cyprienne. the young wife; Mary Fernler, as the jealous young maiden, and Pauline Whit son. as the satisfied Mine de Valfontaine. who did not approve of divorce?all were alive to their opportunities and made the most of them. Indeed, there was not a weak portrayal in any part of the play, and the well filled house justified its appreciation of a finished production In a lively manner throughout the performance. Belasco. Before an audience so engrossed in the play and tho actress that It was constrained not to applaud until the curtain was rung down on the last act. Mine. Nazlmovn appeared last evening at the Belasco Theater iri Ibsen's best known play "A Doll's House." J,ast year tire Russian actress' interpretation of Nora Helmar was heralded broadcast with acclaim. This season her rendition of the part is even more convincing to the Ibsen run. ninajc* an &< umnriuu.^ ill technique rather than In emotionalism, she allowed no opportunity from pose to pantomime to escape her last evening-. Those who saw the play will recall how vividly convincing she was. though silent, when she ate the macaroon forbidden her by her husband?a small point, indeed, but one thatns perhaps indicative of the secret of Mme. Naztmova's success. Devotees of Ibsen or not. the. audience.was with the actress In every line. That she made theni think, at least, was evidenced by a point, trite perhaps, but in many inrtances. It Is safe to say. personally convincing. Not only the neurotic woman. hut approximately every third woman present, while leaving the theater, gave rvnrowclc-n 4r? gitma 'qrtw nf 1 or* fn 0 sentiment: "Isn't that just like a selfish man!" Well known as the story of the play is, it always interests. That such a condition of married life could exist in this country is doubtful, for woman here is not under bondage to her husband as she seems to be on the continent. Nazlmova as the wife of Torwald, blinded by his love that loves her as he woold a favorite horse, or pet. of priceless value, is a most entrancing witch. Na'zimova as the wife awakened, the woman who sees the selfishness of her husband's affection, the mother who leaves her children because of her husband's failure to perform the "miracle of love" she boped for?as such Nazimova compels sympathy and blinds her audience to her crime of forgery, ever keeping before them the purity of her motive. The transformation from the doll, petted and spoiled, to the woman whose soul is seared by the fall of her idol is logical and wonderfully interpreted. Whether the play or Kazimova is the greater is a question. In the tlrst act it seems decidedly Nazlmova, in the last act the play. But. no matter who else is on the stage. Nazlmova is the cynosure of attention. Without Nazlmova the play la interest-compelling through its sheer force. Without the play?Nazlmova is still Nazlmova In other plays. Mr. Dodson Mitchell, as Torwald Helmar, the selfish husband who In eight years of married life has never treated his wife as a serious human being, handles the difficult and unpleasant part most convincingly. Brandon Tynan, as Dr. Rank, the family friend, a character emphatically Ibsenlc In its weird fatalIsm, Is an improvement over the previous Dr. Rank. Cyril Young is satisfactory as Nils Krogstad. Miss Florence Fisher, as Mrs. I,inden. Nora's friend, plays her part to its fullest possibilities without reaching the extreme. Mme. Nazlmova will appear in "A Doll's House" again this evening and tomorrow matinee. Academy. At the Academy last night "The Prince of Spendthrifts." a melodrama with spectacular effects, was presented. The. story deals with the effort of a rich young man to get rid of. tainted money, and some highly sensational Incidents are ingeniously evolved. The company has tho services of a list of players who give pictures of various types of Abierlcan life and several of the mechanical devices are striking and novel. The play was enthusiastically applauded. James A. Smitn plays the part of Dick Thorn, the moneyed youth, and makes a hit In each of the seventeen thrilling scenes. Harrison Greene, as Mae Cohen, the comedian, shares the favor of the audience. Madge Osborn. the heroine, is played by C. Blanche Rice. Chase's. "The Naked Truth." a miniature comic opera, by Edward A. Paulton, is the feature number'of the bill at Chase's this week. It is highly interesting and amusing. A mystic statue is the cause of the hilarity. With this bit of plaster of paris persons within five feet either tell the truth or are deprived of portions of wearing apparel. Mr. Davenport, the principal comedian, and, incidentally, a prevaricator from away back, besides singing several character songs with effect, adds to the merriment by losing all of his garments except a bathing suit. Cliarlea Cartmell and Laura Harris, two clever dancers and singers, responded to many encores. Tudor Cameron and Edwa"d Flanagan have a good skit entitled "On and Off," meaning on the stage and in the dressing room. Little Hip, a tiny trained elephant, dees everything but talk, and in this respect he also makes an effort. Ethel Muro appears in a monologue. The three Hanlons. without much apparent exertion, go through many difficult tricks, accompanied by the tumbles of a made-up man. Gayety. The credit for a huge audience at the Gayety last evening must be divided between Ben Jansen's Bowery Burlesquers and the Gans-Nelson fight pictures. Mr. Jansen is a character comedian of the old school and keeps up a good laugh, though his lines offer less opportunity than he deserves. The songs are all good and the costumes excellent, especially those of Lillian Held, who introduced a hat with a plume hanging nearly to the floor. In the olio are the Nazzarros. gymnasts of a new type. Russell and Held sing some good songs, and are crlterlons as far as clothes are concerned. The fight pictures are among the best and clearest ever seen in this city. New Lyceum. Before two large audiences yesterday the "Travelers'* opened for this week's engagement at the New Lyceum. The show has a two-act musical skit, "The Adventures of Issy Colv n." introducing Charles J. Burk'cc man with the funny slide). A h.introduces many catchy songs. t . the features of the show was the - ocirction of the Gans-Nelson tight pictures, showing tinsix important rounds. Connie Hamilton was the he.adliner of the olio. This large lady has an excellent voice and sings songs which please the audience. Charles Ledegar, the "flying Dutchman," was very clever. Charles J. Burkhardt and company, in a one-act play 1st. "J'lie Italian"; George McFarland and John Murrv, eccentric talking comedians. In the last act La Dora appeared.
