OF THE PRESS AGENT
.~rhe Blindness. OF yirtue.-

That THE Kindness of Virtue" by
Cosmo Hamilton, will be the attraction
al the Academy Monday and Tuesday.
with a matinee each day, Is an an
lnouncement of the utmost interest and
Importance to theatergoers and those
concerned with the solution of one OF
the great problems of civilization. No
play produced in years has been SO
widely discussed and endorsed as q
trem endous influence for good az has
been the case with this notable drama.
First produced at the Little theater.
London, where it enjoyed a sensational
run for over year. 1t was brought
to this country last season by thu
American manager William MorriA
WITH the original London company. and
ran for nineteen weeks at the Stude-
baker theater. Chicago. and twelve
weeks at the Park theater, Boston.
So insistent was the request for THE
blindness of Virtue from other cities
that Mr.. Morris has brought over the
English players for a second tour The
play is built on theme which is posi-
lively crying for discussion, and pre-
seuts a tremendous indictment against
parents who bring UP their children IN
ignorance of the fundamental princi-
pies OF life and the meaning OF ce--
tain impulses. A problem solved. but
not a problem play, it deals with pos
sible tragedy and yet is comedy.
FLOR Mr.. Hamilton presents his subject
Ivelied behind wholesome laughter. The
scenes of the play are laid in the
vlcarage of an English clergyman. near
Tx ndon IT is of interest to note that
The Blindness OF Virtue" was hrs-
written as novel and was later dra
imatized by Mr.. Hamilton at the urgent
request of the Bishop of London, who
cgieved its message would reach q
] wider circle through a stage presen~
tatiCn.
