COMM ON CLAY ,
Coming to the Davis Thursday Even-
 ing, November g.

The two most vital problems of the world are the problems of sex and property, each of which has been mado the theme of countless dramas, and probably will be as long as these two problems remain insoluble. Tn Com mon Clay, the sensational New York success which A. H. Woods will pre- sent at the Davis theatre for an en- gagement of one night, Thursday November g, Gloves Kinkead deals with both problems in a frank, viz orous and direct manner that has en- sured the play a permanent place in the history of the American theatre.
 The central figure in the play is El- len Neal, a young girl of the working class, endowed with high intelligence and desire to free herself from the class and depressing environment in which fate has cast her. In her search for happiness, she is betray- ed and then comes as a servant into the home of wealthy family of her community. Here she comes face to face with the double probletn of caste and sex. The son of the house be- comes the father of her child, and be- gins for her an uphill fight for recog- milton against old-age prejudices
 The play moves on with terrible force and cumulative interest to a climax that for sheer surprise and emotional power, surpasses anything to be seen on the stage. No play goer can afford to miss the poignant bumanness, the trageoy, the comedy end the all-important motive that
