non Company in "The Moth ant
the Flame" THE Moth and the
Flame" which Herberl Kelcey anc
Efie Shannon present at the Nesbi
Theatre, Wilkesbarre, Saturday
evening March "a is one of til,
small number Of American drama.
one can be forgiven, even an undig
nifed, patriotic enthusiasm over
The play is based upon the theme
that love rules the world, and love
rules the play. Character is mould
ed and developed by the influence
of love in the world and so are Mr..
Fitch's characters in this play. The
interest is absorbing during the ell,
tire action. The climaxes are in
tense and thrilling, and the raillery
and retort brilliant. In THE Moth
and the Flame" Mr.. Kelcey and
Miss Shannon have been fitted with
characters which bring into play
their best efforts and reveal them
both as artists of force and finish
1t is an intensely interesting high
class drama which reveals someth-
ing Of the private life and social
environment Of New York's ultra
fashionable society. The children S
party given by adults at the resi-
dence of a society leader, with
which the play opens, is, of itself, a
revelation of the frivolities indulgcd
in by the Smart set'' and as such
"holds the mirror up to nature" in
a manner which is as truthful and
realistic as it is highly interesting
and entertaining. There is more or
less comedy in the play, but tragedy
also plays part, and two of the
strongest situations of the piece are
the climaXes at the close of the first
and second act, one revealing a
suicide in high life, and the other,
the denunciation Of an aristocratic
scoundrel at swell society church
wedding. The cast includes a score
of characters and the company is
virtually the same as that which
has heretofore been see in the play
in all the principal cities for the past
two years, and during its New York
engagement of I2s nights at Daniel
Frohman's Lyceum Theatre. "The
Moth and the Flame" ranks among
the most notable of American Sue
cesses, and its attractiveness last
season equaled that of THE Chris
