satire on frenzied finance. It's full of
originality. life and action and contains
no dull moments. Marvellous and

Frederic Thompson, the wizard of tre-
mendous effects, whose Luna park at

markable effect of yacht in a storm at

In their dramatization of McCutch-
cons book Smith and Ongley have
taken certain dramatic liberties, but
the main theme is retained. The story
tells of the efforts of Montgomery
Brewster to spend in one year one
million dollars. an inheritance from
his grandfather, to obtain a bequest
of seven millions willed under certain
conditions to him by an uncle. The con-
ditions stipulate that while every
penny of the million must be dissipated
the young man is restricted from ex-
pending it in reckless gambling, en-
dowments or the erection of memorials.
Furthermore, he must preserve abso-
lutte secrecy in regard to the whole
affair. The difficulties which confront
Monty" Brewster in spending the mil
lion are better described In the play
than in the book, appealing more
strongly to the spectator than the
reader.

American

Florence Roberts. distinguished Amer
lean actress, will present the new So
ciety comedy, '.Sham," at the American
theater this week commencing with
the matinee performance today. "Sham"
is sparkling. bright and witty satire
on society by Geraldine Bonner and Ell
mer b. Harris. Its comparisons between
the social set of the west and that of
the east develop much keen interest
and amusement
Miss Roberts has a large following
of admirers in this city. where she is
regarded by many as one of the finest
leading women In the United States.
particularly in such a role as allotted
to her in SHAM" where she plays the
part of woman of gentility and cul-
ture.
While "ZaZa' gave her an opportunity
to exert her full power, her work in
"Zira" has been declared to be the best
piece of emotional acting that has been
seen in America in many years, the
character of Katherine Van Ripper in
Sham" offers an opportunity for clever
delineation of a person with meas
ure of human comedy-a woman of the
type that has brought Mrs. Fiske
success.
The play deals with the efforts of a
society CRATER who strives to main
tain her social position on a hopeIessly
inadequate income. This young woman
has lived In false atmosphere all of
her % years and aspires to nothing
better until she meets fine, unspoiled
mining engineer from the west who
makes her understand that there is
something better than the foolish pre-
tense and hollow sham of the so called
polite" world
Katherine Van Ripper, the heroine
is happy go lucky sort who has had
little experience with unveneered peo-
pie and when she meets the young min
ing engineer she suddenly awakens to
the facts she should have known in
her youth. Katherine marries her Idaho
lover and the fashionable butterfly
finally settles down to lead a serious
life.
Manager John Cort has mounted
