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
