Some sympathy 10 expressed for Sampson
tho strong man who came back from America
on the Teutonic to answer the charge Of steal
Ing Mrs. Bernstein's jewels. because It is not
generally believed that he Is morally guilty oil

man OF London. has been pursued by women

Avenue Theatre this week. This is not to be
wondered at. in view OF the circumsta nce that

says:
There is so much strong dramatic stun In
it. several OF the scenes are so full OF vgor. and
there is such pulse in the play ut odd times
that it is really worth while considering II It
could not be refashioned with the ultimate
view OF the Adelphi or some equally popular
theatre"
This may not be very high praise but Il

Helen Dauvray's London debut yesterday as
Suzanne de Ruser,lle in "A Scrap Of Paper"
