practically forfeited two runs over the

"Drif.ed Apars. -

In these days OF dramatic Sensational
ism, when many blase productions. are
presented, il is refreshing to offer the
theatergoing public a play that, while
dealing with the dual sides of life, elimi-
mates the obtrusive elements that offend
the sensitive susceptibilities of the au-
dience, and yet retains the essential ma
terial that builds the foundation upon
which the structure of the drama is based.
The nearer you hold the mirror up to II a
ture the more perfect becomes the art of
impersonation. .l~
'Drifted Apart" is one of these charm
ing society dramas, that. presented as II
is by this talented company, with that de-
lightful. delicate touch of dramatic art,
demonstrates the ability of the company.
