Of the Bret Hartc Type
Do not make the mistake of think
ing that the new play As the Sun
Went Down is a typical wild and
woolly drama of the sort that the
stage has had so many Instead it is
a clean cut story of a type that en
dears Bret Harte to lovers of hu
manity interpreted by Arthur C Als
tons company in a sincere digni
fied appreciative and intelligent
way
Geo D Baker wrote this play and
he is consistent and he has the bulge
on the average western drama by
never being impossible It is a play
almost entirely of western types
simple and direct in story and
heart reaching
The company is headed by Estha
Williams and she is supported by
a first class cast including Edwin
Walter W A Whitecar Victory
Bateman Flora Byam Margaret Mil
lar Arthur Chatterdon Geo A
Cleveland Arthur W Bentley R F
Sullivan William Taylor and others
