BEIASCO

One of the most noteworthy theatre
| cal events of the season will take place
tomorrow night at the Belasco Theater,
| when E. H. Sothern will make his ap-
pearance in the premier production of
Alfred Sutro's comedy. THE Two Vir-
tues" Although this will be the first
performance of the comedy in this
country, it has already had much sue
cess in London. where it was presented
at the st. James Theater with Sir
George Alexander in the leading role.
This is the first appearance of Mr..
Sothern in modern comedy in many
years. Mr.. Sothern will have as his
leading woman Miss Charlotte Walker,
who will be remembered for her sue
cess in THE Trail of the Lonesome
Pine"
The story of the play. which is a
delicate satire on woman's attitude to-
ward woman. follows: Jeffery Panton,
a rich bachelor, described as being in
the early autumn of age, as the result
of an unfortunate love affair, in which
he was Tilted, secludes himself in his
library and devotes himself to the
the memory of the girl he loved, and
whose picture and mementos he
keeps ever before his eyes. After five
years Mrs. Jervoice, whose memory it
is he worships, breaks in on his Sc
clusion, asking his help in restoring to
her the affection of her husband, who
has become fascinated with Mrs.
Guildford, woman of questionable rep
utation. Jeffery calls on Mrs. Guild
ford to plead with her to give up Mr..
Jervoise, and not only discovers her
to be the victim of Mr.. Jervoise's i'm
petuosity and much bored by his at
tentions, but. like himself, a deep stu
dent of history. Jeffrey overlooks her
-
come to his home and assist him in the
completion of a voluminous history of
the world which he is writing. Their
intimacy is interrupted by the intru-
sion of Mrs. Jervoise. who notwith-
standing she does not love Jeffery,
cherishes the affection which he con-
tinues to hold for her memory. With
her comes Jeffery's snobbish sister, who
is in great CONSERVATION lest her
brother should fall in love with Mrs.
and Mrs. Guildford she reveals the re-
suit of an investigation she has made
into the life of Mrs. Guildford. which
Mrs. Guildford refuses to deny or af-
firm, and which Jeffery refuses to be-
come disturbed about. However. Mrs.
Guildford, not wishing to place Jeffrey
in an embarrassing position, gives up
her work as collaboration on the his
| tory. 1t is then that Jefery discovers
she has meant more to him than a
mere cola borator. He goes to her
apartment provided with a marriage
license, and in his quaint. humorous
way overcomes her objections to be-
coming his collaboration for life.
The comedy takes it's name from the
inference Sutro draws that there is in
woman higher virtue than chastity,
which is charity.
Prominent in the cast are Haidee
Wright, Blanche Yurka. Pauline Wit
son, Orlando DAILY, Albert Howson and
Florence Phelps.
