now
Mr. Arllss's performance icveals his
familiar artistic restraint, Ids winning
personality, his grace of manner and
tho I aro subjective qualities of por
traiture that ho brings to any role. At
times, where tell colloquy calls for
keen, laconic observations, his methods
recall Ids "Disraeli" performance, which
held the stage for bo many consecuttvo
seasons Hut In tho main, his Alexander
Hamilton strikes new notes.
Happily ho Citrlcated himself from
the "old man" rut In which he was also
Involve.? last season In "Tho Professor's
Love Story," and his delineation has
youth, virility and magnetism. Tho
last named Is, of course, of prime and
compelling quality. A cettaln elasticity
of speech Is apparent In tho third-act
climax, In which ho turns tho tables on
his accusers, but this Is but a minor
blemish or a superb embodiment.
Tho delicate task of depleting such
early "fathers" as Jefferson and Mon
roe Is entrusted respectively to the ablo
hands of Carl Anthony nnd Hardee
Klrkland. For purposes of contrast tho
mental and moral staturo of these
nrures suffer In
hero. Hamlltonjans, however, will
doubtless Insist that n duo proportion
of values has been maintained. Jeanne
Eagles as the Reductive Mrs, Ileynolds Is
an unshadowed delight to the eye, and
she acts a difficult role with tasto and
exqulslto allurement. George Woodward,
Philip Schuyler, gives a conventional
but effective study of a bluff, hearty
Revolutionary veteran. The Hetsy Ham
ilton of Mrs, Arllss Is rather colorless,
and Marlon Harney as her sister sins In
.no opposite direction that of over
emphasis.

given the screen a t)pe of westerner that

Hart Is tho embodiment ot tho popular
conception of what bad men should be.
And that Is why he Is successful. His
characters aro drawn with careful con

In "Wolves of the Hall," BUI Hart's

character, something that has not been
known to the screen in Hart's last three
years of film acting. This figure Is a
