Press comments of commendatory nature
indicate that Robert Downing has achieved
success with his recent production In Balti-
more more OF the classic drama by Edward
y, entitled In Search Of Happiness =
The story OF the drama is thus outlined by
the Baltimore News:
The first act is devoted to placing the
scheme OF the drama before the audience, and
1t shows where Heryor, a savage warrior
and his followers have descended upon the
Temple OF Artimus in Miletus and captured
a number of Greciah women there. Among
these matrons Is the wife of Constars This
leader counsels pursuit Finally. however.
It Is determined to send an embassy to eff
rect some sort of compromise with the war
riors. The wife of Constans is named silva,
and she is beautiful woman. Hervor Is in
terested In her, more than at first he knows
Presently comes the embassy and after
some debate 1t is agreed that the warriors
year; at the end Of that time the Greeks are
to furnish ransom. Hervor is to look after
the welfare of silva, and he gives his pledge
shall befall her.
All this is rapidly but interestingly told,
and in the second act we see the growth
of love between Hervor and silva. Her
sense OF honor. however. is not SO exalted
as his. and she would betray her husband.
Suddenly the latter comes; and now in the
third act we have as fine development Of the
play of conflicting emotions. The woman
is base. She loves the savage and would
even have him STAY her husband as he sleeps
But Hervor has sublime nobility of charac-
ter, and sacrifices himself In the end the
enraged silva, desperate with bafied love,
takes her own life.
