of people with Its lesson. which must
go home to the most blase thcater-
goer.
Experience Is a sermon, telling
the story of Youth, who bids goodbye
to Love to start out in the world
with Ambition TO seek fortune. The
story of Youth is the story of one
who wandered away from Ambition
to visit the Primrose Path and
sduander his money in the Corridors
of Chance. accompanied by Experi-
ence. His designations lead him to
the Street OF Disillusion, the House
of Last Resort, and the Street of Re-
morse. To escape Poverty he fol-
lows Delusion to the House Of Lost
Souls, shown as a hop joint" where
he meets Crime.
Accompanied by Crime he wanders
about until he comes to the Street
of Forgotten Days, where the voice
of the choir singer recalls to his
mind his happy days of boyhood and
his mothers love. Youth turns his
weary footsteps back TO the home OF
Love and Hope, accompanied by En-
perience to find Ambition not dead
but sleeping.
Gerald Rowan, as Youth, played
difficult role, calling on all the
emotions OF humanity. with feeling
and held the sympathy of the audi
ence turnout. Henry West, as Elk
perience, gave an excellent reading
of his lines and assumed a majesty
that caused the part to stand out as
one of the most impressive of the
cast Poul Bel was excellent as
Makeshift. proprietor of a slum cafe
and as Crime, Fred Moseley, scored
in the small part of old Work.
The best bit of acting by the large
number of feminine characters was
that of Patricia Carr as Frailty.
Others prominent in the cast were
Blanche ,Meinsen as Love, Mabel
Campbell as Hope, William Thomp-
son as Ambition, Lillian Hatch as
Pleasure. Elaine Prince IS Beauty,
Anna See as Intoxication, Jane
Oliver as Passion, Bernard Craney
as Wealth, and William Dupont as
Poverty.
