MURDER AND MYSTERY
A CRIMINAL HISTORY
John Mason in Tense Melodrama That
Makes One Content With Being
Humble and Honest and Free of n
Past.
Put an Apache in evening clothes and he will
still remain nn Apache. The sanw thing ap
plies to Patagonlans, whlto Eskimos and Mex
ican bandits. Clothes do not make tho man,
nor Bellovue-Strntford settings alter Inherent
table manners. Elegantly stnged, luxuriously
upholstered, presented by an excellent cast,
Owen Davis' play, "Drugged." which Opened at
the Broad Street Theatre lust night, with John
Mason In the title role, nevertheless remains
unadulterated melodrama of the old -.fashioned
established type, a bit moro polished, more
technically and tersely construct'-d, but thrilling,
horrifying and hair-raising as of old. Despite
the rather sneering superiority with which
this sort of melodrama Is usually regarded.
"Drugged" Is a play which meets pvery re
quirement for nn evening's engrossing enter
tainment, nnd while life is not thus any more
than it Is like tho romances of Robert Cham
bers and Marie Corelll. ns a p'.ay "Drugged"
Is adroitly, even ndmlrab'y. hindled. nnd suc
cessful In its deigned purpose Suspense Is
succeeded by suspense, thrill follows thrill, and
by tho end of the third net you will find your-f-elf
gripping tho arms of your seat, leaning
forward breathlessly ar.d experiencing gooso
ciceps nround your hnlr-follleI-9, If you are
not bald. Tho close of that third act is climac
teric, gripping, tho apogee of gory and grue
some situations.
Young John Dextor, acted by Frank Thomas,
!s clicking off a telegraphic m-sago In code to
beautiful Sylvia Cragen, Nan I'ampbell, as tho
curtain rises upon tho magnitl-ent interior of
the home of the great John Dexter, railroad
magnatn, candidnto to Congicps. respected citi
zen. Young Dexter uses the telegraphic device
to tell Sylvia he loves hor, ami, as one desires,
they fall Into each other's arms An auspicious
opening. Enter John Dextor, conumately por
trayed by John Mason, who approves of the
mntch, although with obvious restraint. Next
enters Mra. Dexter, tall, gilm, with touches of
tragic greon in her coBtume, who stalks across

gcuns Move West of Shopping District,
increased Central Ilcnls Cause.
A now medical centre of the country hns de
vcloped In Chestnut, Hpruca, Walnut nnd Tine
(streets, from Seventeenth street to 22d street.
In some blocks there are from IB to CO o niece ol
physicians and surgeons, many of them sharing
dwelling houses which have been converted for
ofltce use.
Among the physicians nnd surgeons who havo
moved Into tho new districts from other sections
are Philadelphia practitioners who havo world
wide reputations.
Nearly every block In Wnlnut nnd Spruce
streets toward tho western end, this side nf the
Schuylkill Blver, has offices ot three or four
physicians. In some ten or twelve names of
physicians aro on the doorplates.
Chestnut street has many offices of physi
cians, but It Is not so crowded with them ae
Spruce, Walnut, and Tine streets. Chestnut
street Is too given to Bhops to become popular
with the men of the medical profession. It Is
said.
Moro than M0 physicians and Rurgeons have
offices on Chestnut, Spruce, I'lno and Locust
streets from Seventeenth to 22d street. They
have been followed by the dentists and osteo
paths and by the offlces of surgical supply and
medical companies.
Professional nurses, moving in the wake ot
tho phyplclans have rented rooms nnd estab
lished their directories In the new medical sec
tion. Many physicians have purchased properties
in the district, and It is evidently their opinion
that offices of their profession have moved as
far westward as they will go.
Tho Professional Building, on Chestnut street
nar Nineteenth street, houses nearly a hundred
phy.slclans nnd representatives of supply houses
dealing: In drugs and surgl'.-il Instruments.
Physicians themselves explain tho westward
movement of their off.. with tlm statement
that central rents weie tm,renslng and that
offices Just outBlde the shopping dlstilol were
more desirable than those In the centre of tho
ulty.
Ono reason advanced for tho westward march
of the physicians and business dependent on
the medical profession is that uhyslclans desire
to locate within tho neighborhood of tho College
for l hHlcians and Surgeons at 22d ailO-Toc
streets.
