MRS. H|SKE AND
 A GOOD COMPANY
Will Appear in Globe May 31 in "The New York Idea" Story of Present Day Life in Gotham-Brief Synopsis of the Play-supporting Company.

Mrs. Fiske and the Manhattan com pany, after a long run in New York, will appear at the Dreamland theater on Friday, May 3l, in "The New York Idea, play that tells in satiric vein story of present.day New York life in Gotham. Its author is Langdon Mitchell who adapted "Becky Sharp" for Mrs. Fiske from Thackeray's "Vanity Fair" "The New York Idea" deals with the divorce question. It holds up to ridicule the absurd com plications that result from rushing into marriage and rushing out of it through the divorce court. "Follow your whim (for a man) and leave the rest to the divorce court" is given as the New York idea. The means of handling this question or condition has been found by Mir. Mitchell in having two couples divorced, and having one ,of the di- vorced women about to marry the di' vorced husband of the other woman. Judge Phillimore has obtained legal sep aration from his wife, Vida. Cynthia Karslake has left her husband, John Karslake, in fit of temper and se- cured a divorce from him. She has decided that her first marriage was a failure because it was founded on love and she determines that the next time she will let her head choose. She sees John Phillimore and becomes engaged to him. He is tedious, ponderous and an old bore, and she is woman blessed with keen sense of humor., is a great lover of horses and of sport of all kinds, and she has been accustomed all her life to follow her own whims and have her own way in all things. She really loves her former husband, Kars- lake, an energetic, big-hearted New York lawyer, but she is piqued and de. termined to marry Phillimore. On the day of her wedding, Cynthia, in desper- ation, runs off to the races with a titled Englishman and wires her waiting bridegroom that she will be home by nine or ten at the latest and for him to hold the church. She arrives late, is received with indignation by the scandalized relatives of the judge, and is seriously in doubt as to her wish to marry this ponderous old fellow. Her former husband comes to the wedding and she feels all her love for him return. l ing. She goes so far, however, as to have the ceremony begun, but inter rupts it and leaves the house. She re- turns to Karslake in jealous excitement because she believes he has married Vida. But it is Gates Darby, the Eng
 lishman, whom Vida has married and
 Cynthia finds everything at her former
 home just as she had left it even tc
 the overturned chair she had dashed
 down when she left the house. Kars | lake has discovered there was flaw I in the divorce decree and that they art
 still man and wife, and when, after.
 delightful scene of play at cross Pur
 poses, he tells her of this, she settles
 down contentedly and happily witl
 him. The cast supporting Mrs. Fisk
