MURDER AND MYSTERY
A CRDIINAL HISTORY
John Mason in Tense Melodrama That
Makes One Content With Being
Uumble and Honest and Free of a
Past.
Put an Apache In evening clothes and he will
still remain nn Apache. Tho same thing ap
plies to Pntagonlans, whlto Eskimos and Mex
ican bandits. Clothes do not make the man,
nor Bellevue-Strntford settings alter Inherent
table manners. Elegantly staged, luxuriously
upholstered, presented by an excellent cast,
Owen Davis' play, "Drugged," which opened at
the Broad Street Theatre lost night, with John
Mason In the tttlo role, nevertheless remains
unadulterated melodrama of the old-fashioned
established type, a bit more polished, more
technically and tersely constructed, but thrilling,
horrifying and halr-ralBlng as of old. Desplto
the rather sneering superiority with which
this sort of melodrama Is usually regarded,
"Drugged" Is a play which meets eery re
quirement for an evening's ongrosslng enter
tainment, and while life is not thu3 any moro
than It Is like the romances of Robert Cham
bers and Marie Corelll, as a play "Drugged"
Is adroitly, even admirably, handled, and suc
cessful In lt3 designed purpose. Suspense Is
succeeded by suspense, thrill follows thrill, and
by the end of tho third act you will find your
self gripping tho arms of your beat, leaning
forward breathlessly and experiencing goose
creeps around your halr-folllcles. If you are
not bald. Tho close of that third act Is cllmao
teiic. gripping, tho apogee of gory nnd grue
some situations.
Young John Dexter, acted by Frank Thomas.
Is clicking off a telegraphic messago In code to
beautiful Sylvia Cragen, Nnn Campbell, as tho
curtain rises upon tho magnificent interior of
the homo of the great John Dexter, railroad
magnate, candidate to Congress, respected citi
zen. Young Dexter uses tho telegraphic device
to tell Sylvia ho loves her, and. ns one desires,
they fall Into each other's arms An auspicious
opening. Enter John Dexter, eonsumntely por.
trayed by John Mnson, who approves of the
match, although with obvious restraint. Next
enters Mrs. Dexter, tall, grim, with touches of
tragic green In her costume, who stalks across
tho room like a haunted Klectra. We seo Mrs.
Dexter's face Is ashen, h r eyes wild and heavily
i ringed. She trembles violently. When she hears
of the betrothal she Insists upon speaking f the
girl alone sho was tho girl's mother's dearest
friend; she loves her son. By these cryptlo
mtemonts we know there's a skoleton dangling
somowhero about In that tnpebtrlod, well-but-lered
establishment. Amelia Gardner, ns the
morphine-obsessed wife, terrified by her bus
band's hidden post, creatoa the necessary
psychlo atmosphere of tragedy and looming
disaster. Despite her warnings, the girl de
cides she will continue to love ind to marry
Jack whatever tiles. whoreupon we like that
girl.

i member of tho firm of June & laughllti. Mi.
j Itejw and Mrs Troth vigorously opposed the Idea
of regradlng the atrett, upon tha ground that It
would set U down mora than sis feet. Mr. Res
declared It would cause a out to at least 20 feet
gad would aause him mueh personal incan,
vcnlenw. Mr. lag?bltr declared the street was
badly In need of resiodini; and that the ma
jority of the nsldeuts abutting were in favor
of it It J intimated that Mr. Kex had also
been In favor of It until he was advUed by
Several Hundred Physicians nnd Sur.
gcons Movo West of Shopping District.
Increased Central Rents Cause.
A now medical centro of the country has de
veloped In Chestnut, Spruce, Walnut and Pine
streets, from Seventeenth street to 22d street.
In some blocks there aro from 15 to W) offices ot
physicians and surgpons, many of them sharing
dwelling houses which havo been converted for
oRlca use,
Among the physicians nnd surgeons who have
moved Into the new districts from other sections
are Philadelphia practitioners who have world
wldo reputations.
Nearly every block In Walnut and Spruce
streets toward tho western end, this side ot the
Schuylkill River, has offices of three or f cl? '
physicians. In somo ten or twelve names of
physicians are on the doorplates.
Chestnut street has many offices of physi
cians, but It Is not so crowded with them as
Spruco, Walnut, and Pino streets. Chestnut
street Is too given to shops to become popular v
with tho men of tho medical profession, lt3f
said.
Moro than 100 physicians and Burgeons ha
offices on Chestnut, Spruce, Pino nnd I.ocr
streets from Seventeenth to 22d street. Tl
have been followed by the dentists and os
paths and by tho offices of surgical supply
medical companies. jl
Professional nurses, moving In the wu,.t--r
tho physicians, havo rented rooms and eitaj '
llshed their directories in the new medical seo
tlon. Many physicians havo purchased properties
In tho district, and It Is evidently their opinion
that offlces of their profession have moved a
far westward as they will go.
The Professional Building, on Chestnut street
near Nineteenth street, houses nearly a hundred
physicians and representatives of supply houses
dealing In drugs and surgical instruments.
Physicians themselves explain the westward
movement of their offlces with the statement
that central rents were Increasing and that
offlces Just outside the shopping district were
more deslruble than those In the centre of the
city.
Ono reason advanced for tho westward maroh
of tho physlcinm and business dependent on
the medical profession la that physicians desire
to ocato within tho neighborhood of the College
for Physicians and Surgeons at 22d and Locust
streets.
