BLINDNESS OF VIRTUE" SEX
PLAY, WINS St1UBERT PATRONS

Gosmo Hamilton's vital play, THE
Blindness of Virtue" that was 50 well
liked In this city last fall, when il
was produced by the Corse Payton
Stock Company, is again on view. this
time at the Shubert Theatre. by a
company of English actors. brought
TO this country by William Morris
especially to play in Hamiltons grip
PING story of human life.
1t takes a east of seven persons and
a dog to produce The Blindness of
Virtue" and in last nights production
every member of the cast, even to
Billy the dog, were individual
stars. Excellent acting is needed in
THE Blindness of Virtue" and Mr.
Morris has provided a most capable
company.
As a result. the story is told in n
manner that lays bare the question of
leaving young girls in ignorance of
the dangers of approaching woman
hood without in the least reaching a
point where anything partaking of
offensiyeness is allowed to creep in.
The performance was married IN
several of the most serious moments
last night by the unseemlY laughter
of persons i'm the audience who, for
getting the serious side of the story,
could see nothing but, TO Them com
edy in the fact that Ef1le. the inno-
cent seVenteen-year- girl, could
not understand why It was wrong for
her to be in the bedroom alone With
the man she loved.
These inane and silly outbursts of
laughter came from group of per-
sons who are evidently more used to
sitting through burlesque perform
ances than in witnessing real story
filled With the human element, as is
THE Blindness of Virtue when per-
formed by a company of capable
actors.
The plot deals with the love story
of Effie Pemberton, the seventeen
years-old daughter of the Rev. Harry
Pemberton, vicar of a parish in Eng
land Efiie has been reared at home
and knows nothing of the world or its
pitfalls. To her home comes Archie
Graham. son of an English gentle
man He falls In love with Eflie and
she with him.
On his return from a day spent in
London, Ellie goes alone to his room
and tells him of her love. Archie
tries in every way to make the girl
see she is doing wrong in visiting him
in his room, but to no avail. Ellie Is
discovered in the arms of Archie by
her father, who refuses to believe

The great friendship that existed be-
tween John Ruskin. the eminent Eng
lish critic and one of the most noted mas
ters of English prose, and John Everett
Millais, terminated unfortunately In that
1t was abused by the latter TO the ex-
tent of winning from the former the af-
fection of Mrs. Ruskin. John Ruskin
was so peculiarly constituted that he
seems to have submitted silently and
without any especial resentment, even
to allowing Mrs. Ruskin to secure / oi-
vorce and to marry Millais. Nor did
Ruskin harbor any malice toward his
rival, nor is there anywhere to be found
one word in his judging of the art works
of Millais that he allowed the bitterness
that he must have felt to enter into his
duties as a critic.
Ruskin seems ever to have been un-
fortunate in his love affairs. At his
first wooing the young lady to whom
be had given his heart, Charlotte Lock
hart, a granddaughter of Sir Walter
Scott. threw him over. The passion had
become so deeply rooted, that Ruskin
spent an entire summer in despondency
and religious depression.
Finally he was able to pass the tckle
Charlotte out of his mind, and on April
10, 1S4S, he married Euphemia Chalmers
Gray, recognized as one of the greatest
OF English beauties. For a time their life
was IDEAL but after two years had elapsed
Ruskin suddenly came to realize that the
wife's affection was surely ebbing away
from him.
Then he planned a trip to Switzerland
nd her aplipita =
ton, and even not against his own
