The play deals with a woman's
struggle between love and generosity
between love and duty it might al
SO be said, the duty arising from the
ethical points of view of yielding the
man she loves and who loves her, to
the mans wife. Two women love the

is the better fitted to make the mans
life complete in affection and happi-

Walsh has a role demanding great
powers of emotional acting. Such is
