1t was unfortunate that the rendi-

tire cast "a excellent and at times
gripped the audience into the eloquent
applause of profound silence, far more
eloquent ofttimes than the violent
clapping of hands.
Ida May Boggs gave a line and art
proof Interpretation of Lena Rivers"
the principal character. such as is
seldom sen. Al Williams was ex-
c~9ptionally good as Durwood Belmont,
the leading male character. B. w.
Marin as the deserter father Of Lena
certainly played the part above crit
icism, while Walter Boggs as .'juv-
emile" brought a breeze of interest
into the play every time he answered
a cue.
Mrs, Grojehn deserves congratul-
alton OF her Interpretation of the part
of Mrs. Graham, the jealous high
society" wife. She also doubled as
Grandma Nichols. Jessie Marin was
lacking in fire at times, but was line
perfect. Jack White played john
Livingston. The play was we'll worth
the evening.

a society drama in four acts, is the

effects for each bill. and those for

fine.
