John Mason in Tense Melodrama That
Makes One Content With Being
Humble and Honest and Free of a
Past.
Put an Apache In evening clothes nnd he will
still remain an Apache. The samo thing ap
plies to Patagonlans, white Eskimos and Mex
ican bandits. Clothes do not mako the man,
nor Bellovue-Stratford settings alter Inherent
table manners.
HIcgantly staged, luxuriously upholstered, pre
sented by an excellent cast. Owen Davis' play.
"Drugged," which opened at the Hroad Stre-t
Theatre last night, with John Mason In tho
title role, novcrthnlesH remains unadulteiated
melodrama of the old-fa.hioned established
type, a bit more polished, more technically and
tersely constructed, but tbillllng, horrifying
and hair-raising aH of old.
Young John Dexter, acted by Frank Thomas,
la clicking off a telegraphic message In code to
beautiful Sylvia Crngen N'an Campbell as the
curtain rises upon the mngnitlcnt Interior of
the home of the great John Dexter, railroad
magnate, i-andldnto for Congress, respected citi
zen. Young Dexter uses the telegraphic device
to tell Sylvia he loves her, and, as one desires,
they fall Into each other's arms. An auspicious
opening. Enter John Dexter, consummately por
trayed by John Mnson, who approves of the
match, although with obvious restraint. Next
onter Mrs. Dexter, tall, grim, with touches of
tragic green In her costume, who stalks across
the room like a haunted Electra. We see Mrs.
Dexter's face Is ashen, . r oyes wild and heavily
ringed. She trembles violently. WhPn she hears
of the betrothal she Insists upon speaking t the
girl alone she was the girl's mother's dearest
friend; she loves her son. By these cryptic
statements we know there's a skeleton dangling
somewhere about In thnt tapestried, well-but-lered
establishment. Amelia Gardner, as the
morphlne-ob'essed wife, terrified by her hus
band's hidden past, creates the necessary
psychic atmosphere of tragedy nnd looming
disaster. Despite her warnings, the girl de
cides she will continue to love and to marry
Jack whatever tfdeB, whereupon we like that
girl.
Then follow, thick and fast, complications
after tho established melodrama recipe. Eleven
thousand dollars of railroad money are stolen
from the safe In the Dexter home. Evidence
points to young Dexter as the thief, and so tho
railroad detective, Tom Lane, appears, demand
ing a warrant for young Deleter's arrest. Young
Dexter ii eventually arrested nnd Sylvia weps
real tears. Appear the villain. Doctor Malonc,
slinking, elnlater. with face like putty, and tur
tle eyes. This Doctor Mnlone has bcun feed
ing Mrs. Dexter upon morphine; he has also
been placing servants In the Dexter household.
Ho pursues John Dexter for some mysterious
reason; we know, and everybody knows, that
he knows more than he tells ho knows. John
