Money and Love" Dramatized
BY FRANKLIN FYLEs.

New York. July 2O.-Midsummer is
not all thoughtless Electrically in New
York. On the sixteenth evening of July
Money or Love, Which Is the Greater
Power" was acted at the University
settlement. That is one of the institu-
tons for improving the mental and
moral condition of the miserably poor.
Bishop Potter Unsupported mainly from
his wife's millions-is Episcopalian, and
another is a Jewish benefaction; but
the University settlement is not relig-
ious, and gets much of its maintenance
from j. G. Phelps Stokes, the immense
ly wealthy Socialist. Mr.. Stokes was
living and working there when he met
Miss Pastor, g. young cigarmaker and
socialistic writer. Their marriage got
wide attention, you remember, and the
ultra-socialism OF Stokes was affirm ed
by him last week. as you read, upon his
withdrawal from Hearst's party be-
cause it does not demand the abolition
Of milionairism.
1t was in the hail of the University
settlement, in the east sides most con-
2ested district of poverty. that this
drama of money and love was brought
out; but any one who expected that
trated was disappointed. 1t was girl
who had the wealth in Money or Love,
Which Is the Greater Power?" She
doubted the genuineness of her sutton S
love, and determined TO find out by
pretending to lose her fortune and good
looks. She sent word TO him that Wall
street had impoverished her and illness
had destroyed her prettiness. Would he
come to console her?
The author. a settlement worker, had
written in earnest, and his directions
were that the girl after the audience
had seen her in a comedy state, should
appear with her hair patched over in
imitation of badness and her nose
painted and waxed to be red and swol-
len. But the actress, although a set
Element worker, too. wasn't willing TO
be hideous in ways that might look
genuine. Who knew but second j. G..
Phelps Stokes had his eye on her?
Il couldn't have done it, anyway"
she said afterFards, "for l have half
a bushel of hair to cover, and I'd have
looked like a swelled-head freak baby
in the museum. So / just insisted that
the line, 'Dianas hair has all fallen out,
be changed to 'Diana's hair has turned

comic mask and stuck ii on over my
OWN II wasn't my fault if my lover
knocked il off when he embraced me
at the dramatic crisis"
The hero of the drama had a pro-
longed defamation on socialism to de-
liver at the end of the play. 1t had no
particular application TO the case in
point, and some one said it had first
appeared as an editorial article i'm a red
journal However il was supposed TO
convince the heiress that, even though
his love had failed under test, she ought
to forgive and marry him. But by that
time her false nose had turned the prob
lem play into a burlesque. the audi
ence was i'm a jolly uprOar. and the
question of the relative power of money
and love was forgotten.
Morris Quasha, the author. came for
ward, quivering almost TO the point of
hysteria. He had acted the socialistic
hero and been unnerved by the audi
