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 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.

Hundred FhysicimiB nnd Sur. 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.
