ADAM AGAIN FALLS FOR A WOMAN
Not in an Orchard, but Doyn a Farm

Eva King, his younger daughter, also
an idle nobody, always attempting to
get her father to make out a check. Miss
Molly Mcintyre is the beautiful Eva
and her work is as sweet as honey.
Aunt Abby Rocker, a sister In law,
played so true to life by Miss May Nc
Cabe. Aunt is one Of the heaviest bur-
dens that King has to carry.
Uncle Horace Pilgrim, played by
Arnold Lucy, who thinks that he Is too
Ill 20 make a dollar for himself.
Lord Andrew Gordon, a would-be SON
n-law, played by Percy Waram with the
correct foreign mannerisms and an i'm
ported laugh, which is a compromise
between q cough and a giggle. He Is
counting Eva for her money alone.
Then there is a doctor by the name
of DR.. Jack Delamater, who loves Eva
for her money. Also introduced is
Corintha, a parlor maid and she is real.
One OF the central figures is Adam
Smith, business manager of Mr.. King.
The story opens with Mr.. King great
rly concerned over the spendthrift meth
DDS Of his family, which loves him only
for his coin. The palace he lives in looks
as much like home as a bathroom re-
minds one of q bank. The family con-
spires to persuade the doctor to induce
King to think he is III and to send him
TO South America so King will not send
them down to his New Jersey farm.
The conspiracy works so well that
King nearly falls for 1t and discovers
just in time that his family Is only seek
ing to ship him away so they can spend
his dough. He puts Adam Smith as the
head Of his family and in control Of his
checkbook Adam is to cut down ex-
penses.
| am not going to ruin the delightful
story for you by telling how the MEM
bers Of the King family become honest
to-goodness people.
Gee, it's a real comedy.
Opinion: Adam and Eva" is the real
goods, acted by the best all-around cast
and Is not to be missed by those who
enjoy the real goods on the stage.
At the Murat tonight, Saturday after
noon and night.-W. D. z.

This particular scene deserves more
than passing mention. as II is perhaps
the best in the entire show. In this case
Bert Swor appears as the campaign ora

craps shooting TO religion, declaring that
the pressing question of the day is not
