One of the first things that he does is t
make Frank partner in his business and
withdraw from active participation in Its
affairs himself in order that he may have
unlimited time to devote to his daughter
He interferea continually in the domestic ar
rangements of the young couple and they
rarely have IN opportunity OF enjoying one
anothers society alone and undisturbed. 1t
Is not to be expected that any young couple
are going to stand much of this, and they
move from the old mans house, leaving the
latter bitterly ncensed against his son-in-
law. II never dawns on the old man that
he has been causing the trouble and he con-
tinues to devise plans for Nells comfort.
The very first morning that Nell is in her
new home he calls on her. The little
woman has not been an undutiful daughter
and rushes to his arms. This nettles her
husband, quarrels ensue, which are unwit-
tingly aggravated by the old man, and the
result is that Frank leaves his wife and goes
to Europe. AS Nell realizes that she has
lost her husband on account of her divided
love she turns upon her father and as she
upbraids him, falls on the floor in faint.
A widow with an only daughter opens
Billings eyes to the fact that his selfish love
for his daughter has ruined her happiness
Realizing this he brings the girl home with
him, where she remains until he brings about
a reconciliation. This done, he marrles the
widow and retres in the background of the
young peoples lives. 1t will be seen from
this that the play is founded on an error of
the heart and that the story is pure and
clean.

O'Neill the daughter, Mr.. Edwin Arden the
husband and Miss Eleanor Barry the widow.

Maude Carlisle, Mrs. Kate Denim Wilson,

of stage settings and costuming of the present
period In this waning century. '1492" ran
steadily in New York for more than two
