New York, Feb. 9.-Jacqueline may
have broken all ten of the command
ments; but the two that bring her to
mundane misery are Thou shalt not
commit adultery" and Thou shalt not
kill" She COnfesses her COnjugal sin,
and if she were forgiven by her hus-
band, she would not become a muir
deress. The audience, when she comes
back home to see her sick little boy,
would like to have her stay; but if the
husband let her do that there'd be no
play; SO he drags her up from her
knees TO her feet and violently filings
her out of the house. Then a drama Of
the intensest kind ensues.
Dorothy DOnnelly has been the sinful
and sorry wife in the prologue. New
Workers have known Dorothy ten years
as an actress likely to do something
worth while. She came of a stage fam
lily. Henry V. DOnnelly is her brother,

chosen for roles of a cOldly intellectual
type. She always gave good satisfac-
ton, and great promise, but did not
reach popular distinction. Therefore,
when she is seen as an erring wife beg
ging pardon in vain, the audience
marks her once more for special men,

changed her from a delicate lady to a

of a narcotic drunkard; her language
is that Of reckless despair; AMI she Is
the best-that is, the wOrst-embOdi-
