John Drew's season at the l'mplre Thea
tre. Xew York, Is at an end. It has been
neither notably longer nor shorter than
usual, which ought to mean that the ver
sion of Thackeiay's "Pcndennls," made hy
fellow-townsman l.angdon Mitchell and
played by Mr. Drew, under the tltlo of
"Major Pendennis," won enough adherents
among tho Thackerayans to m.vko up for
tho fact that It was just a lilt under tho
average as a "Drew play." Of course, no
body minded In the slightest that Mr.
Drew's new and forwnrd-looMng manager,
John I). Williams, chose to give Mr. Drew
some real acting In do instead of tho usual
pleasant bit of preening. It happened, un
fortunately, that ".Major Pendennis" con
tained a little less of continuous action than
is desirable in a play, unless Shaw or Har
rle has decorated it with their erhal
gawds. It did. howovcr. ronvey a certain
ntmosphere of Thackeray over tho foot
lights; It was most excellently staged, nnd

lR
Within a smug and .smallish town
Of manners bad and ethics bleary,
A family lived, of somo renown,
Rejoicing in the name of Dreary.
This gay Dutch circle's horrid head
Was liarnaby, a tinsmith sulky;
His daughter drudged till nearly dead.
The slave of both her brothers bulky.
The trio treated her with scorn
And kept from her the family siller
Until their poicer at last was shorn
By elocuting Susan Miller,
Miss Miller, from far Jo-way,
Decided it was time to get a
Subduedly brilliant protegee
Like this brow-beaten Barnabetta.
Susan, who Jiated xtoman's wrongs,
Was awfully ke.en on teaman's right; Oh,
She knew her sex teas bound ivith thongs
Of male control in Reinliarts, quite so.
When Sua and Barnaby were wed,
Seeing the family vice, too-much-man,
Silt tnntf it in hnw nlntlor' hnml
5 overrule the stubborn Dutchman.
