This comedy, adapted from 1 Uuorra Uarr JleCutr heon's famous nory of the lame title, by, Wine-hell timiih and Byrim Ongley," Is now ' ' r'oclng presented by two companies n America, two in England and one la Europe.?: The story is a satire on frenzied finance, : It is full of orlgU nality, life and action and contains . ro dull moments. Marvelous and ! tinusual stage effects are promised. Frederic Thompson, the wizard of tremendous effects, whose Luna Park , at Coney ..tsland Is the wonder of the world, has Invented some scenic sur ; prises for this production that has : made all other producers sit up and take notice. In the third act there is a remarkable effect of a yacht' iri ; a storm at sea, wherein the (illusion 1 is Bo perfect that a spectator feels he is '"witnessing the reality. . The -A scenic Investitures of ..this aot is particularly beautiful. . , In their dramatization of Mr. Mc . ' Cutcheon's book, Messrs. Smith, and i ngley have taken certain dramatic liberties, but the main theme Is not , .'destroyed. Related briefly, the story tells of the efforts of Montgomery Brewster to spend ,tn one year one million dollars, an inheritance from bis grandfather, to obtain a bequest '. of seven millions willed under cer- tain; conditions to him by an uncle. - - The conditions stipulate that while : i every. penny of the million must be - u dissipated, the - young man Is , re- s stricted from expending It In reck ' . - less gambling, endowments or :- the i erection of memorials. Furthermore, he must preserve absolute secrecy' In ' regard - to the whole affair. - The - difficulties which, confront 'Monty" , Brewster In spending the million are , better described in the , play than In . the book, appealing more strongly to the spectator than to the reader. . ; r ' In "The Power ' That Governs" Adelaide Prince has written for Cres ton Clarke a modern 7 American drama, ' thought "by many to-be the strongest native play yet produced. It win be seen here for the first time , at the Academy of Music to-morrow, , matinee and night, with Creston Clarke in the leading role, surrounded by a': brilliant company -. of ; well- ; known playera; The central charac ter, and one of unusual force, . Is ' Andrew Michael, a young man "of university education, who In f: the mountains of the Sierra Madre.ln Old Mexico, is endeavoring .to carve . his fortune as best he can. He lives . with an uncle in a shack on the side - ' of the mountains. . THe two gain a mpre . or less ' precarious . livelihood, the younger man ' by i reason -tif a stronger will restraining the elder front resorting to methods 'beyond the pale of the law to gain worldly - goods.' . Andrew,- Oliver ? Carmlchael, ,.; a bnnonaire trust magnate.' wun nis i .daughter, niece and artyvof friends, comes from New Tork to seek health In the semi-tropical climate of Old Mexico. 'A' plot made by Henderson to kidnap and hold for ransom Janet Winston, serves to Dnng tacner ana "son Jn .contact. ; The former realises that Andrew- MlchaeJ Is the son he ' deserted years before, and "The Kid," , through Information ' furnished by Jim Henderson, knows that in Car mlchael he has met his ; renegade father. The- meeting of the two 'forms one of the strongest scenes, to. be found on the stage to-day. , There Is a battle toyal waged - between two sternr' uncompromising wills, ending In a signal, victory ior me son. in. cidentallyr a pretty love story, with ' Andrew Michael as the central figure, ' is developed. . . ,, -' '." , .'- - ii.mii, y i i..
