dramatic play, adapted by the late Steele
Mackaye from Sardou's Agnes" called
"In Spite of ALL" The work was success
fully presented in the East last season by

affections, its leading motive being the
efforts of young wife to keep the love OF
her husband, who is very much infatuated
with a celebrated dancer who has Just
created a sensation in America. In the
effort not to let her husband slip through
her hands the wife goes in disguise to the
dressing-room of the dancer and makes an
appeal to her better nature After a
series OF dramatic incidents the actress
finally turns her efforts to keeping the
husband and wife from drifting apart, and
the curtain falls on the happy reunion of
the couple.
The FrawIeY Company only has two
weeks more to play at the Colum bia
Theater, after which it will go to Homo
