"A jolly American Tramp" is the
striking title of a new play by Edward
+. Kidder, the well known author,
whose plays, Peaceful Valley" and "A
Poor Relation" have attained univer-
sal fame. The play is offered by U. D.
Newell, and is a story of American life
portrayed by American character and
told in a quick, sparkling way. full of
strong dramatic climaxes brisk dia-
logue and brilliant comedy. The cen
trail idea concerns the defrauding of a
life insurance company by a rascal
named Job Barrett, and both the idea
and treatment are new and original.
Barrett ipsures the life of his wife for
S20000 and then claims she died. He
has, however, stupefied her with drugs
and keeps her a close prisoner in
weird old country house where no one
can find her He substitutes a body,
the face of which has been destroyed,
and the body is buried as his wife, and
he collects the $4,000 from the insur-
ance company. His step-daughter, the
child of the ill-treated wife, is away at
school at this time and knows nothing
of her mother being alive, being for
hidden to go upon the top floor of the
