and then local playgoers can decide them
selves the much discussed question as to
whether the play Is a compliment to the
star cast or the company a compliment to
the author.
Eugene Walter, author of Fine Feath-
ers,' stands high among American play
wrghts. 1t is he who gave the stage
such virile documents as paid in Full"
''The Easiest Way" 1.-The Wolf and
'"rhe Trail of the Lonesome Pine" and
in his latest play he pursues the same un-
relentless path toward uncompromising
truth and logical conviction. He has
taken another familiar phase of modern
life, several more problems which con-
front the average American household,
and built around them a drama which
holds the audience from curtain rise to
final line. Robert Edeson is the young
chemist, living on a modest salary, sup
porting wife and paying for a home;
in every scene he is a commanding fg-
ure, and in the big climaXes he rises to
heights seldom achieved in modern drama.
Wilton Lackaye, the man who created The
characters of Svengal and Jim the PEN
man, appears in the role of a modern man
of business-suave, convincing and eX-
pedient when engaged in the task of
making money, and pitiless when forced to
the wall Max E1gman is the good ma
tured, cynical reporter, who understands
the modern business system and wishes
to battle with it; his part is a mixture
of humor and seriousness, and he passes
! from light to grave, from pathos to COM
! edy with the versatile facility that has
| made him eminent Rose Coghlan, the
/ mistress of a thousand roles brings to
the. part of Mrs. Collins, the garrulous
| neiglfbor, all her skill and experience.
Lolita Robertson, young and charming,
brings a new wealth of delightful ability
to the role of Jane Reynolds, the wife for
| love of whom the husband strays from
the narrow path to riches. Lydia Dick
son, cleverest of condolences, appears in
character role, and the other parts are
equally well handled.

love for alteration leads her to commit an
indiscretion, and her husband begins suit
for divorce. All of the events leading up
to the suit are shown in the first two
acts. The audience, therefore, is aware
OF the innocence of the wife. This arouses
sympathy for the witness, who is subject

end she breaks down under the terrific
fire of questioning and insinuatons. Her
husband, who is in attendance, realizes
