irons with a crash. These in falling
upset a small table with one leg. The
ball Of wool that is on it falls to the
floor. The noise of this disturbs the
lovers.
They turn. All three look at one
another. For a moment they make
a motion as IL to ring for tea. Then
they stand petrifed.
'Yo a." gasps Lady Cicely. She does
this awfully well. Everybody says
afterward that 1t was just splendid
when she said you"
Sir John stands gazing in horror.
Him. My God! He!" Mr.. Harding
says nothing. He looks very weak.
Lady Cicely unpetrifes first.
She breaks out, speaking through
her nostrils. Eyes, I low him, / love
him. I'm not ashamed Of It. What
right have you to deny II me? You
gave me nothing. You made me a
chattel, a thing"
You can feel the rustic of indigna-
ton through the house at this. To
make a woman a thing Is the crown
ing horror Of a problem play.
You starved me here. You throt-
tied me- Lady Cicely takes herself
by the neck and throttles herself a lit
lie to show how.
You smothered me. I couldn't
breathe-and now I'm going. do you
hear, going away. to life. to love, be-
hind the beyond" She gathers up
Mr.. Harding practically and carries
him passionately away. He looks
hack weakly as he goes.

Sir John has sunk down upon q
chair. His face is set.
Jack" he mutters. my God.
jack"
As he sits there the valet enters
with a telegram on a tray.
"A telegram, Sir John"
Sir John (dazed and trying to collect
himself)-"What?'
"A telegram, SRA cablegram."
Sir John takes 1t. opens it n reads
aloud:
He is dead, My duty is ended. l
am coming home. MARGARET HANDING"
Margaret coming home. 1t only
needed that-my God"
As he says it the curtain falls.
The lights flick up. There Is "A great
burst Of applause. The curtain rises
and falls. Lady Cicely and Mr.. Hard
ing and Sir John all come out and bow
charmingly. There Is no trace of
worry on their faces, and they hold
one another's hands.
Then he curtain falls and the or
chestra breaks u into n Winter
Garden waltz. The boxes buzz with
ulSCuSSlOn. SOIle OF tnt people tHlIlh
that Lady Cicely is right in claiming
the right TO realize herself; others
think that before realizing hersel.
she should have developed herself,
Others ask Indignantly how she could
know herself II her husband refused
to let her be herself. But every
body feels that the subject is a de-
licious one.
Those of the people who have seen
the play before very kindly explain
how 1t ends, so as to help the rest to
enjoy 1t. But the more serious minded
OF the men have risen. very gently and
are sneaking up the aisles. Their
expression Is stamped with deep
thought, as II pondering over the play.
But their step Is as that OF leopards
on the march and nc one IL deceived
az to their purpose.
The music continues. The discus
sion goes on.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-06-27

There is great gayety in her manner.
Her face is paler. There Is a bright
spot in each cheek. Her eyes are very
bright.
There follows the well known supper
scene. Lady Cicely is very gay. She
pours champagne into Mr.. Harding's
glass. They both drink from it, She
asks him IL he Is a happy boy now.
He says he is. She run her fingers
through his hair. He kisses her on
the bare shoulder. This is also sym
bolic.
Lady Cice.y rattles on about Amali
and Fiesole. She asks Mr.. Harding
IL he remembers that night in the olive
trees at Santa Clara. with just one
thrush singing in the night sky. lie
says he does. He remembers the Very
thrush. You can see from the talk
that they have been all over
Baedeker's guide to the Adriatic.
At times Lady Cicely's animation
breaks. She falls into a tit of cough
ing and presses her hand t. her side,
Mr.. Harding ltoks at her apprehen-
sively, Sc says. 1T Is nothing, silly
boy, it will lie gone in a moment" II
is only BECAUSE she is So happy.
Then quite suddenly she breaks
d; wn and falls at Mr., Hnrding's knees.
"Oh, Jack. Jack, | can't stand it, |
can't stand it any longer, II - rluk-
ing me-"
My darling. what is it?"
This. all this, II is choking me

French maid, all of it, | can't stand
it. I'm being suffocated. oh, Jack,
take me ~away-takc me somewhere
where II Is quiet. take mi to Norway
to the great solemn hills and the
fjords-'
Then suddenly Mr.. Harding sees
the letter in its light blue envelope
lying on the supper table, II has
been lying right beside him for ten
minutes. Everybody In the theatre
could see 1t and was getting unCom-
Portable about It.. He clutches II and
tears 1t open. There is a hunted look
in his face as he reads. .

Their expression is stamped
with deep thought.

"ASAA NSSP So6
There Is heard the ring Of a bell of
the stage. The ale enters.
Mr.. Harding is downstairs. my
lady"
SHOW him up, Ransome."
A moment later Mr.. Harding enters.
He is a narrow young nan in a frock
coat. His face Is weak 1t has to b..
Mr.. Harding is meant to typify weak
ness. Lady Cicely walks straight T.
him. She puts her two hands on his
shoulders and looks right into his
face.
my DARLING" she ays Just
like that. In capital letters. You can
feel the thrill of 1t run through the
orchestra chairs. All the audience
look at Mr.. Harding. some with opera
glasses. others with eyeglasses on
sticks. They can see hat he Is just
the sort Of Intellectual young man that
a starved woman In a problem play
goes mad over.
Lady Cicely repeats MY darling"
several times. Mr.. Harding says
Hush" tries to disengage himself.
She won't let him. He offers to ring
" tVd SHe WbH I nave any.
"Oh, Jack" she says. II can go
on any longer. I can't. When first
you loved me I thought I coulG. Tut
I can't. 1t throttles me here's

has drawn him to a sofa and has sunk
down in a wave at his feet. DO you

Mr.. Harding says that he does.
And that day at Fiesole among the
range trees and Pisa and the Capello
lie Terisa and the Mona Lisa-Oh,
Jack. take me away from all this,
take me to the Riviera, among the
%contadini, where We can stand to-
gether with my head o n your shoulder
just as We did in the Duomo ut MI

me to Corfu, to the Campo Santo, to

kisses, says, my dearest. ! will. l

do as much. They'd take her to

mo, thank you, Ransome. I'll get
them myself. I know just where I

advances and picks up his papers on
the table-turns-and stands
He sees his wife's attitude and hears
her say "Riviera, Amalf. Orangieri,
Contadini and Capello Santo." 1t Is
enough. He drops his parliamentary
papers. They fall against the fire

"You have seer her slnce?"
"Never."
''She has never written you?"
"Only once. She sent her boy home
and wrote to me for help. That was
how I took him as my secretary"
"And that was why he came to us
in italy two years ago, just after u
marriage"
yes, that WIS why"
Dies Mr.. Harding know?"
Know what?"

Sir John shakes his head. IL have

mothers early life"

The orchestra boils over in a cadence
and stops. The theatre is darkened
again. The footlights come on with a
flash. The curtain silently lifts. and
II is
ACT II. SIX MONTHS LATER.
The programmes rustic. The peo-
pie look to see where it Is. And they
find that 1t Is AN Apartment in
Paris" Notice that this place which
is used in every problem play is just
called IAN Apartment" 1t Is not
called Mr.. Harding's apartment. or
an apartment for which Mr.. Harding
pays the rent. Not a bit. 1t is Just
an apartment. Even IL It were "A
Apartment it would feel easier. But
"An Apartment! The very words
give the audience a delicious SILVER
of Observation-Disclosures.
When the curtain rises 1t discloses
a French maid moving about the stage
in four dollar silk stockings. She Is
setting things on a little table, evil
IDENTIFY for supper. She explains this
in French as she does 1t, so as to
make IL clear.
Bon! la serviette de monsieur!
bon. Ia serviette de madame. bien-du
champagne, bon langouste aux cham
%plgnons. bien. bon-' This Is all
the French she knows. poor little
thing. but %langouste aux champignons
beats the audience, so she is all right.
Anyway, this supper scene has to
come In. 1t Is symbolical. You can't
really show Amalfl and Fiesole and
the orange trees, so this kind of
supper takes their pace.
AS the maid moves about there is
a loud knock at the cardboard door Of
the apartment. A man in official
clothes sticks his head in. He is evil
IDENTIFY a postal special messenger be-
cause he Is all in postal attire with a
postal glazed hat.
Monsieur Arrding?" he says.
"Oui."
\ Bon! Une lettre.'
7 "Merci. monsieur He goes out.
The audience feels a thrill Of pride at
having learned French and being able
to follow the intense realism Of this
dialogue. The maid lays the letter
on the supper table.
Just as she does II the door opens
and there enter Mr.. Harding and Lady
Cicely. Yes. them. Both Of them.
The audience catches it like a flash.
They live here.
Lady Cice,y throws aside her cloak.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-06-27

begins to strike. Sir John let's 1t
strike up to Jour or five, and then
says There. 5 o'clock. ! must go.
! shall be late at the House. Good
by"
He moves over to Lady Cicely and
kisses her. There Is softness In his
maner-such softness that he forgets
the bundle OF parliamentary papers
that he had laid down. Everybody
can see that he has forgotten them.
They were right there under his very
eye.
Sir John goes out.
Lady Cicely stands looking ftxedly
at the fire. She speaks out loud TO
herself. How his voice changed
twenty-five years ago-so long as That

erson will ask a question. We must
stop 1t at all costs. The fate of the
party hangs OF It,"
Sir John has risen. His manner
has changed. His look Is altered. You
can see him alter II. 1t is now that
Of a statesman. The technical de-
tails given above have gone to his
head. He can't stop.
He goes on: "They will force a NO.
sure on the second reading, go into
committee, come out of 1t again, re-
divide. subdivide and force us to bring
down the estimates"
While Sir John speaks Lady Cicely's
n has been that Of utter weari-
ness. She has picked up the London
Times n thrown 1t aside; taken up
a copy of Punch and let 1t fall with a
. thud to the floor, looked idly at a
piece of music and decided. evidently.
not to sing 1t. Sir John runs out of
technical terms and stops.
The dialogue has clearly brought
out the following points: Sir John is
In the House Of Commons. Lady
Cicely is not. Sir John is twenty-five
years older than Lady Cicely. He
doesn't see-isn't he q fool. when
everybody in the gallery can see it?-
that his parliamentary work Is mean
ingless to her, that her life is in
sufficient. That's II. Lady Cicely is
being starved" All that she has is
money. position. clothes and jewelry.
These things starve any mi They
cramp her. That's what makes prob
lem plays.
Lady Cicely speaks, very quietly:
Are you taking Mr.. Harding with
your"
"why?"
Nothing. I thought perhaps I
might ask him to take me to the
opera. Puri is to sing"
DO. pray 10. Take Harding with
you by all means. Poor boy, do take
him with YOU"
Sir John pauses He looks at Lady
Cicely very quietly for a moment. He
goes on with a slight change in his
voice
DO you know, Clcely. I've been
rather troubled about Harding lately.
There's something the matter with the
boy. something wrong"
"Yes?"
He seems distracted. moody. I
think. in fact I'm sure that the boy
is in love"
"Yes?"
Lady Cicely has turned slightly
pale. The WEAKNESS is out of her
manner.
Trust the instinct OF an Old man.
my dear. There's a woman in it.
We old parliamentary hands are very
shrewd, you know. even in these
things, Some n is playing the
devil with -lck-with Harding"
Sir John is now putting on his
gloves again n gathering up his
parliamentary papers from the par
liamentary paper stand on the left.
He cannot see the change in Lady
Cicely's face. He Is not meant TO
see it. But even the little girls in
the tenth row Of the gallery are wise.
He goes on. Talk to Harding. Get
it out OF him. You women can do
these things. Find out what the
trouble is and let me know. / must
help him." GA pause. Sir John is
speaking almost to himself-and the
gallery II promised his mother
when she sent him home, sent him to
England. that I would"
Lady Cicely speaks. You knew
Mr.. Harding's mother very well?"
Sir John: '"Very we'll"
THAT was long ago, wasn't it?"
Long ago."
WAS she married then?"
"Nb. not then"
Here in London?"
Yes. in London. I was only a bar
rister then with my "a TO make and
she a famous beauty" (Sir John Is
speaking with a forced levity that
doesn't deceive even the ushers.)
She married Harding Of the Guards.
