Mrs. tlske and n notably strong COM

The grim tragedy OF domestic life
was never played bctter--in fact, never
SO well before.
When the play begins, this one, in
the ordinarily accepted sense, Ia al
ready half over. Ilenta, the wife Of
John Rosmer. impelled by the force OF
Rebecca Vests indomitable viii and

herself has come 10 the point where
she must once for all demonstrate the
completeness OF her theories of cmnn-
cipation. But, though Rebecca has
been strong In pursuit OF the freedom
which she claimed. she has compro-
missed her powers by allowing personal
Interest TO take the precedence in the
conduct of her life.
If one studies the political conditions
lbsen confronted Mt the time the play
was written, the purpose does not then
seem vague. Each of the parties light

ideals WINS unwilling to conccde any
virtue TO the either; each was out
