William A. Brady's eighth
Street Theatre will be opened on Wed
nesday evening for the season with
new American play, called Husband
and Wife," by Charles Kenyon, the
author of "Kindling" AS its title
indicates, the new drama tells the
story Of marriage complications. These
arise out of the husbands early insist
ence that his young wife devote herself
to no pursuit more serious than that
Of becoming a gay, thoughtless, eXtrav-
agant society woman, and she enters
into the spirit of this career so thor
oughly that when the time comes to
stop her the task not alone skaters
the home Of this pair, but very nearly
destroys both principals outright
In this crisis the woman narrowly
escapes dishonor and the map barely
avoids a criminal prosecution, and both
are saved from source to which Meth
er of the twain has any reason to look
for succor.
The play, which is produced by Will
lam A. Brady in association with Ar
thur Hopkins, will have the advantage
of a cast including Robert Edcson,
Olive Tell, Belle Daubb, Mabel Reed
Harriet Mendel, Dion Titherage, Mon
tsgue Love, Dodson Mitchell. Allan At
well, William S. Lyons, Edward NJ
Dresser and Nick Long.

TOO TAME FOR YOUNGSTERS
Former British Golf Champion Says
Game Has Few Attractions for

Harold Hy Hilton, the former
British champion, in an editorial in
the golfing magazine of which he Ia
golf is a game that possesses few at
fractions for the average boy.
Hilton believes that the boy who
plays golf receives much benefit
therefrom, but he thinks that most
boys prefer more active sports In
which their youthful enthusiasm can
find natural outlet.
In view OF the boom which the
junior tournament idea is passing
through on this side of the Atlantic
Just row the great British golfers
idea is particularly interesting. He
says in part,
Youth demands vigorous outlet
for the natural fund of animal spirits
which. is present in nearly every boy
of tender years. and 1t can hardly be
said that the game of golf supplies a
sufficient outlet for the vigorous en-
thusiasm of youth. 1t has few of the
characteristics which appeal to the
true, natural boy, and notwithstand-
Ing the outcry against the advisable
ity OF allowing schoolboys to play the

the youth of the country unless some
subtle change is taking place in the
characteristics of the boyhood of
Great Britain.
But notwithstanding the absence
of discipline, that It is an excellent
training foundation for the young, un-
matured mind, we are thoroughly
convinced. as it teaches the boy to
act for himself, and 1t teaches him
control and self-discipline. and tho
latter is the very soul and core Of
