ADJUSTMENTS
Common CLAW"

The most important dramatic event
of the theatrical season is the coming
of Common Clay to the Jefferson
tonight and matinee and night tomor-
row
Common Clay" is the sensational
American drama by Cleves Kinkead
which has just completed a years
engagement at the Republic theatre,
New York city, under the managerial
direction of A. II. Woods.
Taking for his theme the eternal
problems of sex and property, Mr. Kin
kead has woven story of unusual
power and realism in the four acts
of his play. Ellen Neal, his central
figure, whom circumstances treat SO
strangely, is one of the most sym
pathetic figures of the American thea
tire. Born in the direst poverty, but
with splendid natural endowments,
she fights bitterly for a recognition
denied her by those of q more fortu-
nate class, and wins it ultimately
through an amazing accident. There
is no parallel in the theatre to the as
founding courtroom scene where FL
len learns her true identity. and her
place in society. A moving, eloquent
plea for the innate equality of hui
man beings, Common Clay" cannot
fail to leave a lasting impression
Catherine Lower will head the bril-
liant company.

At the Bijou

THE Woman He Married" a play that
deals with the usual in an unusual man
ner. has received flattering patronage
this week. The play is one of the best
that has appeared on the boards Of the
Bijou this season. Herbert Bashford,
one of the most brilliant playwrights OF
the twentieth century. especially wrote
The Woman He Married" for Virginia
Harmed. The play is of the type that ap-
peals to every person who Is the least
bit interested in life. The theme is de-
lightfully realistic and the cast of actors
presenting the piece are of the highest
type.
The play is woven around the sacrifice
of a good woman, who stays good, but
almost looses all she loves. through her
stanchness to her husband and her will
ingness to promote his ambitions.
