him a play based on modern ideas,
with the result that this scholarly
playwright has furnished him with
what he thinks is the best Irish play
he has ever displayed. 1t is entitled
Molly Dear" and is built on entirely
new lines and is entirely away from
the old traditional rot that for so
many years has masqueraded under
the description of an Irish play. 1t
would be unfair to both Mr.. Mack
and Mr.. DeMille to tell the story of
the drama here, but it is said that
no more logical. true and throbbing
play has ever been written. and that
in it Mr.. Mack appears to the great
est possible advantage.
Mr.. Mack has number OF new
songs and they are described as being
his very best and is surrounded by
one of the finest companies which
has left New York this season.

ADJUSTMENTS
Coming to Opera House, Her Unborn
Child"


There is to be presented at the Opera
House for next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday six performances Of this
wonderfully we'll written play pointing
such a terrific moral lesson as to be
likened unto a sermon. There is to
be a matinee each day at which times
all seats will be reserved exclusively
for women. Laurette Allen addresses
these audiences on birth control.
1t might be interesting to suggest
what Winnipeg Canada, thought of the
offering.
IF the large audience who witnessed
the performance Of Howard McKent
Barnes problem play, Her Unborn
Child" at the Walker theatre last
night were at all serious and visited
the theatre with the object of follow
ing the progress Of the drama intelli-
gently. then. we'll and good. If on the
other hand there were those who went
to see the play for the express purpose
Of being amused by suggestive or vul-
gar dialogue one has only to say that
such persons ought to be thoroughly
ashamed Of themselves.
I'm these serious times when people
are in need of enlightenment on GER
tain delicate subjects the story Of Her
Unborn Child is one which ought to
drive home many telling truths to that
class of society which is so clearly eX
plotted in one Of the main characters
OF the play. It Is an easy matter for
the skeptic to argue that a drama Of
this particular type has no right to
be seen on the legitimate stage, but il
one will reflect a moment 1t will be
observed that the motion pictures fea-
ture plays that are not nearly so con-
vincing or heart searching. After care
fully reviewing and analysing the en-
sential elements 70 Mr.. Barnes eff
forts in what may be termed an ex-
ceedingly daring and difficult task one
must concede that he has acquitted
himself with genuine distinction. He
has gone into the delicate con-
tent Of his subject with consum-
mate skill and and to such an
tent that throughout the four acts
there is nothing that one can by any
stretch OF Imagination take exception
Therefore. let It be said that Her
Unborn Child" Is no play for the ears
OF the theatre guttersnipes who delight
in gloating over something Of a de-
moraliZing nature. On the contrary. it
is a powerful sermon ably enunciated
by very competent company.-adv.
