story Of a woman who, to save the life
Of her husband, erred. She did this to

! health. The man comes and the secret
Of where the money came from to bring
the husband west is forced from the re-
luctant wife All but the name of the
man. 1t is in forcing this confession from
her that the great dramatic moment ar
riyes. 1t is a tribute to the art and
genius OF the small cast that it sue
ceeds in holding in the deepest suspense
the audience for the entire three acts.
The play originally was written by Mar
jorie Chase, and of late Eugene Walter
has given it his expert attention. The
result is a gripping, dramatic, and highly
effective drama.

most quizzical, uneKplainable muddled
mess that the stage has seen in a long

long enough to grow eloquently emo

BIG STAGE SUCCESS
DUE AT ENGLISH'S THURSDAY.

amused New York for a year, will be
seen here with all the favorites Of the
cast who have been playing in It for two
seasons and with all Of the scenic and
other effects used IN the performance at
the Sam II. Harris Theater, New York
In addition to the fun IN the piece, there
Is a unique charm in the homely phiIos-
ophy Of the leading character, Isidore
Solomon, brilliantly played by George
Sidney, whose artistry has made It one
OF the great Characterization Of the
American stage. The play conveys a
message OF altruism and tolerance
message that is sadly needed in this
period OF bitterness following the great
war. It is not given IN the manner Of
q sermon, there is nothing Of that sort in
the piece, but the example is held up In a
manner that brings home to the audience
the injustice and absurdity Of intoler-
ance.
The action OF the story takes place
in a small New England town on New
Years eve. A Jewish merchant from
Boston, Isidors Solomon, wanders into
the shabby little hotel Of the place, where
he meets several Of the leading citizens.
His announcement that he has come to
meets with a reception that makes the
sub-zero weather outside and the biting
blast Of the night seem balmy by COM
parison. He IS refused bed in the hotel.
An old inventor whose dreams are the
Joke Of the town tries to make him COM
Portable and wins the heart Of Solomon.
The two form a partnership, the inven-
tors scheme of Harvesting nearby
waterfall is realized and the two become
wealthy.
George Sidney gives a portrayal Of the
Jewish merchant that has won fame for
him. It is a delightful piece Of acting.
so realistic that one feels doubtful that
the player is really acting but playing
himself. The roster Of the company COM

afternoon with representatives of the

filming deliberations to representatives

ceptable to the United States govern
ment as basis for the enactment of
final and formal treaty of peace.
Expect Little Opposition.
Little serious opposition is expect
ed by the chancellor when the treaty
is taken up for ratification by the for
