GOOD ACTING FEATURES
BROAD PROBLEM PLAY

The usual Monday audience at the
Bijou last night witnessed the first per-
formance OF Charles Summers "The
Natural Law" and. while very good
acting on the part Of the cast OF eight
people and several bits Of comedy,
which are sprinkisd through the play.
brought forth applause. there was an
apparent feeling that Richmond play
goers are not as symathetic toward
been previously. ''The Natural Law" is
a man-sise play. but 1t 10 certainly not
one that can prove OF interest to juve-
niles. Tho play deals with the conflict
between the law Of natural selection
and the law Of convention.
The story concerns Ruth Stanley
fCoraiine valdez. young artist. who
Is engaged to marry a physician, but
who, during hts absence in the West.
meets and II infatuated by q young
athlete. Bowling tNorvell Keedwell).
whose portrait she has been commits
stoned to paint. When the physician
returns the girl frankly informs him
that she has transferred her affections
to the younger man. The story then
deeps into rather striking circum-
stances, but the conflict 10 settled after
several interesting and dramatic cli-
MAKES.
William Balfour gave q creditable
performance as DR.. Webster and Norval
Keedwell played opposite him capably.
Coralins Wade in her rather heavy
part. brought forth much talent and
assisted materially in making the per-
formanoe Of interest. Basil Buck,
Madeline Winthrop, Agnes Earl and
May ABBOTT the other members of the
cast, played their minor parts efficient
ly.

mendsd to children. r. L %.
