ing theatrical producers, have ac-
cepted it and it will have its first

il is bound TO be a success, as this
clever young author is presenting one
of the neatest and classiest single
acts that has been seen here in many
moons. Besides Mr.. HanlOn's offer

sTKPRISE THEATER

An Eclair drama. The Character

prise today When a woman is in love
with a nan it is not always that she
will sit down and listen to and ac-
cept with rational calm from anoth-
er woman, advice respecting evil char

or that, ne may have been false TO an
other woman. but with me it will be
different. 1 will reform him, is the
conventional argument the woman in
love puts forth
But the young woman the leading
lady IN the repertoire company Of this
drama had TO be told and advised.
and who was better fitted for the task
than the very woman who had SUI
fered from THE mans" hands. At
first the deluded girl was inclined to
treat the matter 'ghtly, but she had
10 listen and once she listened to the
heart rending pitiful. tragic story laid
bare she had to believe. The evidence
the old character woman was there
before her eyes. the dying fires of
hope blasted once more kindled in
the desperate attempt to save a sis
ter from her own fate.
Such a story as We have here
reaches right down into the deepest
emotions of every heart, il is human
and perhaps a bit conventional in that
the same tragic facts nave been lived
over, and will continue 10 be lived
over many times so long as the baser
passions continue TO govern some men
But the author. as well as players and
director. have thrown into this play
that vivid touch which gives il fresh
ness and originality. With pathos as
the Keynote the problem is put plump
before you, you cannot escape the les
son il teaches or the gripping appeal
il makes. The old character woman
is a masterful study as done by Julia
Stuart, one of the oldest and most
gifted favorites Of the Universal
Eclair company.
