1.-The Honor OF the Family" which
Otis Skinner presented for the first
time in Detroit, Thursday evening, is
play that defies characterization but
compels praise. II is thing with real
blood and real life in its makeup, a
sordid drama with a sorry hero, but
| withal SO unique in its story and Its
motives, so genuine in its characters,
that one cannot but pronounce 1t a
| triumph-perhaps the best thing that
Mr.. Skinner has ever done.
The family honors of which the lead
ing character-for one cannot call Col.
Philippe Bridau hero-prates, is a
grim sarcasm; the action hinges about
the money, the boarded million francs
or so, of NJ. Rouget. Bridau's uncle.
Rouget is old. too old even for his
years, and he has but two passions,
one for his money and the other for
mis- beautiful housekeeper.
Whether the latter. Flora Brazier.
shall get the wealth to divide with
her handsome lover, or whether 1t
shall be taken by Col. Bridau and his
more likeable relatives is the prob
lem. Bridau wins, unscrupulously.

1t is in the days following Napo-

unfolding of the story.
THE Honor OF the Family Is adapt
ed by Paul Potter from a French play
by Emile Fabre founded on Balzac's
"Menage de Garcon." The story OF
the novel is somewhat altered, but II
remains a masterpiece.

Summers Gone.

IL isn't that the summers gone
That draws the sigh
But that my hopes were bruised and
crushed,
The song upon my lips was hushed
AS she passed by.
Welcome, winter, cold and drear.
Ill heed your cry
IL only you will still my pain,
Put gladness In my heart again
AS you pass by.
