"Thorns and Orange Blossoms

The play tells a story OF intense in.
tcrest to all classes. While in no wise
being q problem play or an advocate OF
socialism, still the theme treats Of .
young girls contempt for the English
aristocracy. Both sides are given a
fair hearing and the auditor Is left to
draw his own conclusions. Love,
honor, villainy. jealousy, pathos and
comedy are ingeniously commingled
with the result that "Thorns and

ing the best Of Bertha NJ Clay's works,
approaches the finest masterpieces
ever penned on the subject OF emo
