AN "IF"' DRAMA
Roads Of Destiny" Shows What
Might Have Happened

Where would you have been today II
YOU had chosen different occupation,
lived in a different city, met different
people, followed your own inclinations
at times rather than. listen TO the advice
of friends, relatives, parents, enemies!
Such is the iGea back of 'Roads OF
Destiny" the play with Florence Reed
in its principal role, which comes to
the Lyric Monday. "Roads of Destiny
is an "if" drama, and 1t has met with
success because men and women. never
tiring of wondering what might have
happened to them and their lives "if''
things had been different. Roads of
Destiny was made into play form by
Charming Pollock from the romantic
and thrilling story by .. Henry. 1t
tells the role of youth who sets out
to learn his destiny by travelling first
in one direction and then in the other.
Thus David Marsh. the hero. desirous
of leaving his weakling brother free to
marry the girl whom both love. Is
shown in two episodes of what might
have been had he actually left. In
each of these episodes. as well as In
the finale. which portrays what actually
did happen to David, the play proves
that David was destined to marry Ann.
no matter wh"+ ---' he chose to follow
when he started out in life.

A GENUINE "SNICKERSNEE"
jeff de Angels Has the Real Thing
in "Mlkado"

The "snickersnee" carried by JEFF
ferson de Angels as Ko- no in "The
Mikado." at the Chestnut Street Opera
House, is not a theatrical property, but
real Samurai hari-kari weapon for
merly the property of a revered ances-
tor of Hama Shimozumi. the Japanese
Company. 1t was lent to Mr.. de An
CELLS under the dire threat that if any
thing happened to it. the shade of many
generations of Daimos would haunt the
agile comedian until his dying day.
Needless to say, the sword is cher
ished as the apple of comedians eye
and Mr.. de Angels is not a spirtualist
either.
