Marie Wainwright will offer "Dsugh-
ters of Eve" at the Academy Of Music,
Monday next The announcement
made recently that A. E. Lancaster and
Julian Magnus had collaborated on the
play. Daughters of Eve" to be pro-
duced this season by Marie Wainright,
has given rise to many plsasurable rec
objections and antieipations. The suo-
cess OF this play, following close upon
that of the Bankers Daughter" did
much to remove the strong prejudice,
until then existing. against American
dramatists. The story of the "Daugh-
ters Of Eve" is laid in England. and
with one exception, an up-to.datt
American boy, all the characters are
English. The plot deals with one oi
the great social problems, the question
of the equal moral responsibility ol
men and women.
