 The Evil Thereof" is a strong dra- matic indictment against the mad love of money and the evils that result from It, so characteristic of the modern Amer ican life. Through the instrumentality of a pretty but reckless girl Marie, the authors present a drama of folly and repentance, replete with stirring action tnd sympathetic episodes.
 The unusual nature of the subject is indicated by the fact that the drama is composed of three little plays, all con- trlbuting to and eliminating in the over whelming finale, in which Marie revenges herself upon the man who has ruined her. and has left a wake in his path oi sorrow and desolation. Each of these little dramas is complete in itself yet is unmistakably linked with the others, and with the underlying, primary drama that forms the basis for the xtraordinary plot One tells the pitful story of a happy old couple who have saved very little sum of money for the rainy day The old man leaves his wife and goes to his work. While crossing the street he is feled by a car and severely in- jured> The claim agent of the railway line calls at the old couples home where the old man is lying M deaths door. and skillfully induces the guileless woman tC accept $1O0 in payment for her husbands injury.
