sonal direction OF Collin Kemper, and
the production Is fully up to what
theater goers have come to expect
from this management, especially IN
the matter OF scenic establishment
and attention to details. The cast. too,
has been selected with care In most
instances. Altogether, II Is an onor-
ing well worth seeing. Price consid-
cred, the public 10 given Its moneys
worth and q little more, as the en-
thusiastic reception accorded The
players by Sundays audiences elo-
quently testified.
As this Is the fourth time the play
has been offered In Detroit, the story
Is too well known to require detailed
reference. The character OF Joe
Brooks, the selfish. unprincipled cad
who has won the heart Of true wo-
man by display OF worthy principles
that are only skin deep. and who.
when threatened with prosecution as
n thief, IL willing TO save himself az
the expense OF her womanly virtue. Is
one not exactly calculated TO excite
admiration. but II describes q type OF
which there are all too many repre-
sentatives In the world Of actualities
Many a woman's ideals have been
shattered, IN real life, just a. mrs.
Joe Brooks ideals have been In the
play. so Mr.. Walter has struck dis-
tinctly human chord In this his most
successful work to date.
The cast IL much the same az last
