THE COMMON LAW"
IS GREAT SUCCESS
Miss Irene Daniel as "Jane Adams
Wins The Hearts of Audience by
Her Beauty And Simplicity.

"The Common Law" which played
at the Winchester Opera House on
Wednesday night was one of the
finest productions ever presented
here. A fair sized audience was
present for the performance, which
should have been greeted by a pack
ed house.
The "Common Law" is out of the
ordinary, for it is built upon theme
which, although as old as three hun
dred years before Christ, has never
before been used as a foundation for
play. 1t is love story, of course.
but not the kind one usually sees in
a play. for in this case is the love of
sister for brother, and the auth
or shows how great is the love of
woman for one near and dear to
her..

In another part of his speech. Mr..
James criticized the Republicans on
their attitude towards the proposed
election OF United States Senators
by direct vote. He said:
"They were afraid for some rea-
son or other to lend their support to
this just and important idea. They
did not see fit to recognize the people
who gave them their offices and con-
ferred upon them high hinors. / am
not afraid TO face the people who

themselves into the life of a poor
Young sculptress, who is prevailed
upon to sell herself into the "Com-
mon Law" marriage to save her
brother frcm prison, and also to save
her family name from disgrace
forms a theme which makes the
Common Law one of the most virile
and realistics play in the history of
the drama. The common law is ori-
ginal in its construction, plot and
conception.
In selecting Irene Daniel for the
part Of Jane Adams, the poor young
seulptress. Mr.. Brewster could not
have found woman better suited
for this type of character, and she
seems to use such naturalness in her
lines that the character becomes the
very essence Of simplicity.
Miss Daniel is one of the. most
beautiful actresses seen here, and
won her way into the hearts Of the
audience. Roger De Coverly, in the
part of Cyril Blake. the multi-mil-
lionaire, is one of the type actors
which is rarely seen off of Broadway,
and ever word he utters in his quite
sanve manner. carries with it con-
viction and his presence is firm and
authoritative.
Indeed. every part was well taken,
aud the performance, all in all. was
one which will not soon be forgotten.
During the action Of the play, the
tense feeling which comes over the
audience places each individual in a
position where they are forced to
ask themselves. "What would | dc
we're | in similar pOsition?'
Few plays have been produced
that carry with them the heart in
terest as does the "Common Law,
and by seeing it. everyone present
was convinced that were more plays
like the Common Law" produced
teny would have a tendency to uplift
the humanity and make Il better
world.

cern to the average lcitizen as is the

Washington and in the field be pu;
under the civil service, be removed
from the influence of politics, and
that their terms of Office be not lin
tied, as at present. to four years.
