The plot of "The Strength of the
Weak" the emotional drama in which
Florence Roberts introduced herself to
New York, involves a family scandal
Of rather broad proportions. Further
more, Miss Roberts has stated in one
or two interviews that the plot of the
play was told by a professional nurse
as having come under her personal OBJ
servation when she was employed in
prominent Chicago household.
If this be true, Miss Roberts play
will be rather intently watched by Chi
cago society folk when the play Is pre-
sented in Chicago, and there is grave
danger that one professional nurse will
be looking for new place should the
breach of confidence be traced to her
The story of THE Strength of the
Weak is as follows:
The heroine is Pauline and the first
act is laid in her rooms in the Ameri-
can University for Women, near New
York. Graduation day, and Pauline
was the valedictorian of the 1905 class.
Pauline has written a book, "Perdita,"
by Candida. 1t is a secret. She has de-
cided to earn her own living in the flu
ture and dispense with her guardian.
The guardian calls to take her away.
She refuses to go. We learn the truth
'Perdita" is her own story. Her guar
dian is her betrayer. She will have the
strength of the weak and rise above it
ALL Pauline tells him there is only one
way she will return with hm-as his
wife. He tells her it is impossible He
has a wife and son. Poor Pauline! Her
degradation is lower than she knew
She tells him to 60 She is free. She
never wants to see him again.
At the hunt ball Dick Adams tells
her he loves her She has found her
souls mate, but is afraid Tom Dare
also loves her, and tells Dick she
wrote "Perdita," thinking to disgust
him.
The third and fourth acts are in Pau
lines apartments in New York. Dick
calls to ask when the wedding shall be-
She tells him the truth-the story of
'Perdita" is her own life. He is stun
ned-only to take her in his arms and
tell her she is dearer to him now than
SllS ever NdS DtlbIts AS ne IS leaving
she falls. into chair, overcome with
grief and joy, and when she looks up
sees Mr.. Abbott, the guardian. "You!
You! Why are you here tonight--of all
nights!" He tells her his soul has been
crying for her. He found her address
through her publishers. Give it all up
and go with him to France. No! She
loves Richard. She is going to marry
him. He knows her past life and loves
her. The bell rings Richard enters,
goes to Pauline, turns and sees the
guardian. Father! How did you know
to find me here? The shock to Pauline
is great Richards father and her guar
dian are one. In the last act Pauline
tells the guardian If he had only told
her his right name what a lot could
have been avoided. She tells Richard
his father knows her story. Richard
must abide by his fathers decision
While they are studying what to do
Pauline rushes off to an anteroom and
shoots herself.
