An uncommonly appealing play is "Heartsease," which is the feature for tonight's program at the Empress and uncommonly winning is handsome Tom Moore as Eric Temple, a strug- gling composer who writes songs that will sell for bread, while he dreams of his unfinished operas. He is in love with Margaret (Helene Chad wick) daughter of Lord Neville (Alec B. Francis). Lady Neville Rosemary Theby) is attracted to Eric, in spite of his evident preference for her step-daughter, and begins her flirta- tion by becoming his patroness at a musicale in his honor. Sir Godfrey Pomfrat, one of the guests, jealuos of Fries obvious love for Bargaret and enraged because she responds steals the manuscript of the young composers opera while it is in the keeping of Lady Neville.
 He places his name on it, arranges for it's production at Covent Garden and on the night that all London at tends the premiere, imagines that his fame is made. But Eric, in the audience, recognises his music and determines to prove to the world that it's applause is his. This is brought about with tremendous effect-as unexpected as it is dramatic
