against human destiny. The builder starts
well in life. IA boy from "A piolis home in
the country whose one idea Is To please
the Great Master Builder of the Universe. in
whose honor his churches are built But
| no happiness comes To him as a reward,
nothing but the empty vanity of success

mind In the end he defies the Great Mas
ter Builder and shapes his life after his
own fashion. only TO ind he is hampered on
every hand He is chained to a dead wife
and to a lt.iug conscience ne cannot kill.
Still the idea of an impossible happiness
lures him on. and 1t Is in the last desperate
attempt TO gain this happiness that his life
Is lost. In the National ThcaIer production
William H. Pascoe will play the part of
Harvard Solness and Florence Kahn Will
he the Hilda Wangel of the occasion.
Other members Of the cast are Josephine
Wyndham. Grace Fisher. Frederick G.
