SOCIAL EVILS ARE
SHOWN IN DRAMA

olga Nethersole pays her third visit
to San Francisco tomorrow when she
opens a two weeks engagement at the
Van Ness theater in The Writing on
the WALL" which recently created a
sensation in New York. This is the
1lrst time that Nethersole has been
seen mere III a play dealing with a
modern social problem, and it Will af-
ford many of her admirers an oppor-
tunity to Witness her in what critics
IN the east have called the greatest
opportunity of her career for that
characteristic acting that has made her
name famous
The Writing on the WalP is the
work of William J. Hurlbut, a young
American dramatist who expressed a
desire to write play for Miss Neither
sole and who received the reply that
his work would be given production
II he could succeed in weaving into the
dramatic fabric the horrible conditions
under which Nethersole herself had
found people living within the shade of
Trinity church in New York.
The play is an attack upon Trinity
corporation, which, as is now well
known, owns and operates some of the
worst tenements and lodging houses in
America. 1t is not an attack aimed at
the church itself, but at the money
grabbing trustees, who would have had
ample grounds for libel when the play
was first produced if an investigation
had not proved the facts as set forth
in the drama to be true.
In the action of the piece Nethersole
appears as Barbara Lawrence. wife of
Trinity trustee and the mother of a
child by him. Her husband is guilty
of infidelity She faces him with the
proofs. but for the child she makes the
sacrifice and will not appeal to the
aivorce courts. Through his avarice
comes the climax of the drama, center
the big second act the audiences and
critics of the east have declared that
Nethersole does the greatest acting of
her career.
a matinee will be given Saturday.
