successes, will be presented at the
Academy today, matiness and night.
| The plays tells probable story of
domestice trouble. The dialogue Is
natural and the situations are APP

| 1t tells the story of the wreck of q
famiiy's happiness, brought about by
| the divergence of thought anc the diff

by husband and wife. Richard Ward
! is a man of working, saving, home
loving instincts His wife longs for
luxuries and in his love for her and
his efforts to provide her with them
ne is kept grinding and tolling under
q mountain Of debt which topples over
on him and he Is bankrupt One OF
the most appealing points IN the play
| is while the wife's extravaganza Is
dominant, 1t is brought about in a
great measure through her sincere en-
desvor to provide her husband with
a homo betting the position in life
she believes him big enough TO &C.
cupy. When she realizes that he Is
bankrupt she borrows money IN an
fort 10 save him. This move on her
part leads to dramatic situations, the
unravelling of which has made The

of real life, with its motive an ar
raignment OF puersle society life. but
drama which thousands who have
seen it have declared strikes home
