strong and well equipped. The come

was enough clean fun in the bill aside

any audience its moneys worth. Larry

'The Eastman Case" Paul vii

Cartwright is starring. tells a story of
modern American life.
The scenes are laid in New York, but
the incidents might have happened
anywhere that men and women weave
the network of human life.
1t is not problem play, not a bust
ness play. not detective story in any
one of these circumscribed senses,
though it partakeS of the flavor of all.
The Eastman Case" tells the story of
Peter Raeburn, Il great New York
criminal lawyer. who as a crude and
untutored youth fell upon ways that
were dark and criminal.
He was the pal of Joe Keegan, a
bold and clever thief. who was sent to
prison for a prodigious robbery in
which they both participated. The
swift rctribution on the more seasoned
criminal shocked the younger man into
sense of the perversity of his own
life, and he came out of the west TO
New York to lose his old self and build
Il career worth while.
When the play opens Raeburn is
shown at The height OF distinguished
legal career and with every material
and paternal blessing. His skillful
work for wealthy client whose house
has been robbed reveals that Keegan.

On the track of the one man whose
silence saved him from prison and

pal has unwittingly sent the whole ma

save himself and Raeburns efforts to
save his daughter the shame of his eX-

story moves on its way.
