lof their lives and makes them see the

of their lives and makes them see the terrible wrong they have committed.
 As the play develops it becomes known that two children, a boy and a girl, were born to the unhappy pair. Years have elapsed, and these two cast-off children who ran away from the home in which they were placed in early childhood are cast by fate in the path of the unworthy parents. The boy has become dope fiend and the girl an outcast.
 This brings about an embarrassing con- dition, for neither the man nor the wom- an wish their second mates to know Of these children, and when the boy de- mands that they be taken home and cared for, they are at their wits end. How the situation finallys works out makes oae of the strongest and most gripping plays that will be seen here this season. Spe- cal scenery has been secured and noth- ing will be left undone to make this play as interesting as was the original pro- duction, according to the Majestic man. agement.
 Evelyn Watson will play the leading role, supported by Randolph Gray, and the entire cast of the New Majestic players.
