Academy.

Exploiting in simple directness the con-
trasts between pure love and more sor-
did kind. and portraying the fight for
mastery between a man whose hands are
clean in business and the underground
method of financier whose trickery
lands him in federal prison. "A Man
and His Wife, with Thomas f. Shea as
the star, opened the week at the New
Academy last night. On these two themes
the story of the play is built and it gives
Mr. Shea a splendid chance to show his
power emotional actor

of Emily Clarke. the wife. Although he
nearly succeeds with the bank. he is sue
ceSSful in separating husband and wife for
but short time only. At the last vir-
tuc is shown to be triumphant, with no
doubt as to the outcome.
Mr.. Shea, i'm this drama, has oppor-
tunity for contrasts. From the gentlest
of action he rises to great strength swiftly
and smoothly. and his method was keenly
appreciated by those who paid him the
tribute of their plaudits last night He
goes for the strong scenes with vigor. and
leaves no doubt to the point at which
he aims.
Especially true is this i'm "A scene where
he proposes toast to his wife. whom he
believes untrue. Starting to link her
