atfairs of the day which are termed So
ciety dramas. To worldling, it is true
that the constant flow of proper, pretty
sentiment is not as stimulating as the
more pointed and falaer lines of Sowing
the Wind, Lady Windermere's Fan, or
those sscribed to The Second Mrs. Tan

heart purified and aroused, and you feel
better acquainted with your nobler i'm
pulses after seeing Friends.

pulsive delirium tremens scene is re-
tanned. Though perfectly acted, this is
about the only blemish on a drama that
ia exciting and moral, bright and not
suggestive, and in which the seventh
commandment has not even suspicion
OF q fracture. In these qualities it mas
not an equal on the modern stage.
A strong evidence OF the real attitude
OF the American people toward q pure
drama is shown by the wonderful sue
cess of the play which Mr.. Royle and
Miss Fetter have been producing for
nigh onto half a dozen seasons and which
draws as large audiences now as on its
first circuit.
