DANIEL suLLY AT TIE METRO
~5 POLITAN.

Daniel Sully, in a new vehicle en-
titled The Chief Justice" will be the
attraction at the Metropolitan the first
half of this week, beginning tonight
The play is the work, of Fitzgerald
Murphy, and tells story of modern
lifenin New York city.
The story opens in the library of
Judge 9O'Connell, on Fifth avenue,
where the various guests are assem-
bled to hear the announcement of the
engagement of Geraldine O'Connell to
Walter Stockbridge, with whose moth
er the judge has been in love since she
was girl. Her folks, however, pre-
vented their marriage, and now, that
she is widow after twenty years, the
old love. is rekindled and the proposed
union of the young people lights into a
flame, the smoldering embers of the old
romance.
During the course of the act 1t de-
velops that James O'Connell has en-
beZzled $4,000 from the bank of which
he is the cashier and has ruined him
self speculating in common steel in
Wall street When the bank examiner
discovers the defalcation warrant is
issued for James arrest and the de-
tective sergeant appears in the midst
of the merrymaking. The object of his
visit, however, is kept secret from
the judges mother and the guests of
the evening. -.
The detective leaves the prisoner in
the judges custody, and, inasmuch as
the judicial brother is his only bond,
he: has to sacrifice his home to save
the wayward brother from prosecution
and 1.-The family from disgrace The
wrongdoing of James spoils his daugh-
ter's plans and the engagement is brok-
en- off and the young people suffer, The
judges romance is shattered, too, for
he cannot give the woman he loves the
home and position that he has lost
through his brothers misdeeds.
Mrs. Stockbridge's husband was kill
ed in the tunnel disaster of the New
York Central railroad. The widow
sued the company for damages and
won. She invested the money in the
stock of the New York Auto company.
One of it's heavy trucks Injuries la
borer and he sues the company. The
court awards him heavy damages; the
case is appealed and six of the JUS
tees of the court of appeals are evenly
divided, so that the chief justice has to
decide the case. He ruled against the
auto company. This means financial
ruin to the company and the woman he
loves, who has all her fortune invested
In its stock. He. stands between love
and duty, but he saves and wins the
woman he loves and straightens out all
difficulties.
