speculations of the duuu. The dude is not
an American production. In' characteriza
tions of course tl.oro uru exaggerations in
order to malto the scones more vivid and im-
prossivo. In "Tho Henrietta" is the com
bination of n ballot dancer , n mining company
and n racing colt. Of uourso these got mixed
up In a farcical way , but there are more than
these elements to the comedy , which to bo
appreciated must bn seen. Sir. Woodward
Is a Wall street magnate with a Yandorollt
face , while Stuart Robson , who love's pic
tures of actresses and nuys them in whole
sale quantities from photographers and gives

Mr.'Pltou ' , In "Tho Pnwor of the Press , "
which opens a three-night's engagement at
BoydM Now theater Thursday evening next ,
bus undertaken to furnish a local drnma In
fourteen scenes , which employs thirty people
in the cast. The pictorial range of the play
will bo apparent' when it is sald' hat it
brings into view with artistic veracity the
warden's office in the Sins ; Sing state prison ;
the Manhattan lUnlotto club ; the corridor of
the now Imperial hotel ; a wharf on the .East
river ; a vivid picture on buuth street ; a view
of the Battery and bay and a full ringed and
equipped bark , upon whoso dock ttm linal
struggle takes place. The plcturesquo me
chanism Is therefore unusually elaborate and
varied. Into this series of local scones Mr.
Pitou bus worked the story ot two men
who are lc.il astray by drink and evil com
panions , and who * are sent to Sing Sine.
Both of thora haVif heroic , self-sacrificing
wives , mid one ot > thorn is the victim of a
ruthless villain and is unjustly convicted of
manslaughter. This man is , properly , the
here of the drama , ilo is a ship carpenter ,
and when bo Is released from prison ho wears
the social brand of tbo convict and cannot
obtain work. His suffering wife stands by
him through nil his mis/ortuno nnd disgrace ,
both shielding and stimulating him
with a woman's lovo. The nidus of the
play , suggested by the title and shown
in the fourth scone of the third act Is brought
into view , when ev.sry means bid boon ex
hausted py tbo bora to reinstate ninuolf in
society and provo nl.s innocence. Mrs. Soy-
monr.'tho wife of the other convict , lifts him
out of the depths qf despair by announcing
tbut there is u power than can right him. It
is the power of thepress. .
Mr. Pitou claims to have based this inci
dent of tlio play unon an exploit of u Now
York paper which is doubtless fresh in the
minds of the public ; For the purpose of the
story it Is sulllcicnt to any that an influential
newspaper tiiko.i hold of the hero's case ,
brings to licbt now fuels , nnd succeeds not
only in proving tbo man's iniioconco but in
obtaining an ofilcial recognition of it from
the governor. Dramatically , this cleinnnt is
said to bo ono of .unseen power and Justice.
