r. YOU want to appreciate fully the
fact that the American is the last
person on earth TO see himself as
others see him you must by all
I means go to the Belasco Theater this
week and sec Marrying Money.
There is only one criticism which can
be justly made of the play itself and
that is that so long es it was necessary
to drag out Of South America an author
who could SHOW us up" properly, il
is a shame that he did not realize him
self how good a job he vas doing and
give the play a name that would have
covered all its ramifications instead of
confining the title to the mere under
lying motive Of the plot.
Marrying Money is not a satire on
American foibles, as some of the ad-
vance notices might have led one 10
believe. II is an expose.
| think II is too bad that the idea
could not have suggested itself to n
have done even better with some OF
the inside details of family politics
than did Washington Pezet but that
same Washington Pezet after all, did

Around this little mere matter OF

complain that Marrying Money is
either "a mans play or "a woman's

of late.

william Roselle, who plays the part
OF Theodore FanderpoeI-the wrong
man-is decidedly clever in what he has
to do, but. again, Mr.. Pezet and his
collaboration have very cleverly turned
what should be the lead into a foil
for that dear old American character,
Sweeney. the chum who has to carry
the bank roll and pay the freight.
Sweeney, who, of course. is called
Jimmie. not even being named on the
program as James, received full justice
from Will Deming, who, If he has many
more opportunities like this IS likely to
get his name on the three sheets again
at the top. 1t is true that he gets a
good deal OF assistance from the author,
who, apparently did not appreciate the
ancient theatrical necessity of feeding
the lead, but Demirg siezes every OPP
portunity and feeds the lead as well, for
there were several situations which a
clever actor would have been expected
to grab for himself, which he not only
turned over to Mr.. Roselle, but helped
him to strengthen. -
Nan Campbe as Mildred Niles. the
girl VINO Is willing TO support the family
by marrying a rich husband, was also
most enjoyable. She is an ingenue that
ought to be heard from after the public
has had an opportunity to see what she
can do in this part.
The play is full of bits and every
one of them is cleverly handled. The
work in one that stands out is that of
