Under ordinary circumstances the
advent of a new play is not an I'M
usual event for theater goers, but in
the case of Miss Roberts, who has
made her most emphatic successes in
the west, playgoers are more than Or
dinarily interested. Aside from this,
also, she will begin her contract to
tour under Mr.. Corts direction and
from all reports he has povided his
star with one of the best plays, an
elaborate production and a most capa-
bic cast, in which Max Figman, the
well known comedian, is said to have
an excellent part.
| "Ann La Mont is described as a
problem play in four acts with locales
in New York, London and Hawaii, the
latter providing the most dramatic eli
max of the play. Ann is a struggling
young artist in New York. She is
girl of temperament, breeding and ed
ucation but at war with the conven-
lions. Leon Richmond, fellow ar
fist. and successful illustrator, has a
studio in which Ann has worked from
his models, being too poor to rent a
studio of her own. The two are often
thrown alone, and the author puts it
in a line, "Seclusion from the eyes of
the world has ever Supplied the con-
science" Richmond has been in Eu-
rope. Ann falls in love with another
man, Titus, deeply, honestly in love.
She writes Richmond, attempting to
explain that the relation existing be-
tween them are at an end. He refuses
to accept her ultimatum or to believe
in her reformation. Ann refuses to
marry the man of her final choice I'M
til she has convinced the other that
she is beyond him. This is the central
theme of the story which ends in hap
Ply reconciliation.
