The racing playlet is given by a very much revised cast, with Kingsley Benedict in the principal role, that of the dis- credited jockey. Benedict has injected a quantity of breezy new slang into his part and handles it with a good deal of smoothness without losing sight of its highly colored, melodramatic possibilities. Mabel Caruthers, the solitary woman of the company, does exceedingly well with the part of Bettie, earning real distinction in a role that is designed largely as a "feeder." James Gordon is a "heavy" with a specific gravity of something like 4.90. His acting is stiff and stilted and his villainy quite too obvious to be convincing or human.
