Julia Dean, in Her Own Money will
be the attraction at the Belasco Theater
for one week. beginning tomorrow night
with the usual matinees Wednesday and
Saturday.
Among the plays of the season that
deal with vital issues of the domestic
life of today is this new comedy by
Mark Swan. which had an extended en-
gagement at the Comedy Theater, New
York city. The play discloses typical
conditions in typical American home,
and presents as its principal characters.
a typical young married couple. In its
more serious aspect 1t voices the COM
plant of a wife against the custom
which DEGREES her responsibility for the
home it's making and its maintenance,
and excludes her from fair participation
in the family income
Mrs Alden has long rebelled in spirit
if not in deed against the method Of
procedure which compels a wife to ask
her husband for money with which to
defray household and personal expenses
Circumstances suddenly arise to bring
the matter to an issue, and in the scenes
and situations that follow the woman 8
argument Is convincingly set forth. At
the same time, husband and wife are
brought face to face with separation.
This unhappy conclusion is only avoided
when the husband is induced to see the
justice of the wife's complaint. Mrs.
Alden has innocently appealed to a
mutual friend. Mr.. Beecher, to assist her
in assisting her husband. The act is mis-
constructed by Mr.. Alden and Mrs.
Beecher, and the immediate result is
temporary separation and Mrs. Alden's
demonstration of her ability to support
herself in a business venture of her own
selection.

vipcing. and the ENHANCEMENT In which
