Love watches This is a sweetly
pretty comedy with a thoroughly
French atmosphere, and with
serious note that prevents II lapsing
into insipidity.
The story is familiar one on the
other side of the Atlantic. Jacqueline
f.arteret has lost her mother ana is
permitted by her father to run as
wild as the hedge that grows droOnn
his country house in Dieppe whlch
he declines to trim or care tor IN
any way. She is a beautiful young
eo,intry maid. and all the more low
able for not being spoiled by tHe
parental license accorded her. a
neighbor, the Marquise de JuVlgny
takes so strong an interest III JAZZ,
aueline that fearing the father Win
not be able to look after his daush-
ter she endeavors to insure Jacque-
Ines baDniness by arranging a mar
rage for her.
The Marquise selects young book
worm. one Ernest Augurde, VINO is
better adapted for companionshlp
with volumes than with females. lie
is timid young man, and Jacque-
line does not care for him. Her nearl
is already with the Count de JuVlgny'
the marquise's own nephew whom
she has for long loved in secret. Inc
ro,,nt is unaware of these sentiments
towards him. nor does he learn or
them until after the conference be-
tween the marquise and Mons. Car
teret in which the plans for the mar
riage of Jacqueline and Ernest are
made. ,.,.
With the revelation of Jcquelines
love for the count the young PEG
pie become engaged, much TO the DIS
comfiture of the bashful bookfed gen.
N.
line duly marry, and they return
from a blissful honeymoon to their
home in Paris. Nothing occurs to
mar their paradise until young
widow whom Andre has known in his
pre-nuptial days drops in upon thefl'

in such a half hearted way that JAG
uueline is provoked to warn him That
if he resumes those relations or SHOWS
the widow any attention whatever,
she will within an hour of hearing Oh

The insidious wiles of the widow
induce the Count to lapse from
marital fidelity, and as soon as JAG
queline learns the truth, she sits
down, writes the Count note tell
ing him that she has gone to one she
loves better, and does actually re-
pairs to the humble fiat of Ernest
Augarde. The establishment of the
historian is equaled only by his rap
lures. He pictures all sorts of happi-
ness for himself, but once more ne
becomes the victim of acute disap-
pointment. Jacqueline is pursued TO
the historians fiat by her father, the
marquise. and various others, and
this is where Love Watches takes
on a more serious strain.
Indeed the interest of the play from
this point is of such tense ami
heart-holding character that 1t would
be a pity to spoil the enjoyment OF
intending visitors to the Shupert
Theatre by foretelling the end. It is
sufficient to state that Love
Wa+ches,, over Jacuueline with all
the solicitude of a kindly Provi-
dence for a deserving cause, and
helps the comedy to a natural con-
cIusion. Miss Billie Burke made
great hit in this part of Jacqueline
Carteret, and Miss Brownell is sure
to repeat it. Although the play was
written for a woman, there are splen-
did parts also for Mr.. Clifford Stork
and for the other capable actors and
actresses who combine to make this
one of the very cleverest stock com
panies seen in Newark. All who love
watching the course of true love over
all obstacles viii find great enter
