PROBLEM PLAY WINS
 APPROVAL AT AUDITORIUM

Playing to pronounced popularity at the Auditorium Thursday evening, the Unity Play So." delighted a big house with their presentation of the new morality drama, The Unmar- ried Mother. The manner in which this talented aggregation of artists handled the plot of this clever drama and the reception it received stamps 1t as enc of the biggest hits of the seasons stage attractions.
 From beginning to end the play is replete with laughs, tears, and thrills, all interspersed through a story of
 genuine Geart appeal and despite the
 hint of suegestiveness conveyed in the
 unattractive title is free from enl- barrassing situations that might pre- vent man taking his mother, sister or sweetheart with him. Neither was there anything sensational in the development although a- times there were tense moments when the audi ence was gripped in the thrail of
 suspense awaiting the outcome of an unexpected climax.
 l The acting of the company was l splendid throughout, but worthy of 1 especial mention was the portrayal of 1 the part of John Kingston, manu- ! featuring chemist, by Godfrey Mat l thews, and the role of the Unmarried i Mother" Elizabeth Goodman, by i Florence Joyce while no less popular were Vim. r. Pfarr as Jeffrey Morse, l recently ordained minister, and his fiuttering plump little sweetheart,
 Merry Hart, (Winna Rogers) who was
 just as merry by nature as her name
 and Grace Burnside as Bernie Morse, i the nurse. The little flashes of hu- nor introduced by these three char l acters were delightfully."- entertaining 1 and was greatly appreciated by the au- 1 dience. Others who gave pleasing in- l terpretations of exacting roles were Lawrence c. O'Brien as Dr. Goodman a famous chemist and surgeon, a great friend of John Kingston, and as it was lated disclosed the father of the unfortunate Elizabeth. Benedict
 Brown was sufficiently villainous and oily as the naughty Harve Newton
 Charles Randolph as Dr. Young, g
 struggling young physician from the city, and last. but no means least ir the point of the law George Gala gher as Sheriff Smith, who is called upon to perform his official duty al the interesting finale. The company
 will remain in Norwich until Satur- J day night, giving a matinee Frl- day and Saturday. At the afternoon i performances Dr. Goodman will give an interesting talk on child welfare
