and Women" involved a drama of
everyday life, and, it is said,
presents it in dramatic form
that not only entertains but causes
people to think. The issues
upon which 1.-The Lost Paradise" is
based is that of capital and labor. and
the novelty and triumph of his work
lies, 1t Is confessed, in its inoffenSIve-
ness. in its strong treatment of the ques.
ton of friction between capital and
labor; there is safe avoidance on parti-
sanism, and of everything that need Of
fend either an employer, an employee or
An auditor. The two elements are
brought together in strik-
ing way i'll the second act in
a scene in the factory, where the
rich manufacturer pleads with his work
men for the sake of his daughter, who
stands by richly clad, While one of the
old workmen leads his sick, emaciated,
shabbIly clothed daughter from one of
the stuffed, poison aired work rooms
and presents her to the employer. This
scene is said to be one of the most path
etic ever presented on the American
stage. In conjunction with all these
serious affairs there is thread of de-
Gghtful comedy throughout the play
which MIR. DE Mile has handled with
charming grace and delightful dialogue.

possible to stage production, or at least

MalvoliO merits first mention, but it is

betrays great versatility, however. in
turning so readily from the savage In

Messrs. Weaver and Shine. as Sir Toby

buted their share of the comedy. The
