SOWING THE WIND.
\ Strong Drama Produced by n Splendid
Company at the Academy OF Music

Company ut tho Academy Of Music
If Sidney Grundy never wrote any,
thing for the stage save Sowing the
Wind" that would be sufficient to win
for him high place among contem-
porary dramatists. The dialogue is
bright and refreshinSly natural and
the characters are drawn with great
faithfulness. Nor is Mr.. Grundy novice
in the rare art of producing striking
stage pictures and of seasoning his
drama with the appropriate number of
climaXes. All of this was demonstrated
Saturday night at the Academy of
Music. where Sowing the Wind had
Its first Scranton production.
That Mr.. Grundy used the best of
judgment when he selected the theme
on which the drama Is built Is open to
serious doubt but his treatment of it
was skillful and delicate. He followed
the example Of many playwriters and
for the sake of causing comment and
attracting attention to his handiwork.
gave the stage something il would be
better off without. AS If regretting the
poisonous atmosphere In which his
drama finds the cause for its existence
he tries to make /. enforce IL powerful
moral lesson but il Is doubtful if his
mOralizing can neutraliZe the evil ef-
fects Of the subject matter of his dis
course.
If treated by some less gifted person
than Mr.. Grundy, Sowing the Wind"
would be brutal and prove its own de-
strOyer and il is difficult therefore to
say whether his genius should be COM
mended or condemned.
A more than ordinarily well balanced
company produced the drama Saturday
night before the large audience. Miss

was stored II quantity of oils and varnish.
There have been two or three suspicious
