act passion play entitled .Thel Sinner.
In it the heroine is sued for divorce
and the doctor is named as cores
pondent. The drama was written by
Mrs. LOCKER after she had been sued
by her husband In h second act the
following significant remark is made by
the heroine:t
"Why is 1t, that just when a man be-
gins to become interesting, and a girl
thinks he is very nice, he has to fall
in love with herr"
In both divorce actions, which are
on the calendar for early trial in the
New York courts, there promises to be
startling testimony. Mrs. LOCKER names
a young New York woman as CO.
respondent, and a number of the love
letters of the latter, which were seized
by the enraged young wife, are to be
offered as testimony.
Mrs. LOCKER declares that her husband
met the young woman through a
matrimonial agency after he was mar
ried. LOCKER engaged in a c%orrespon-
dence with a society woman of East
Wakefield, his wife alleges. The letters
