homemade mixture, recently made the

Anyone can prepare simple mix

MISS EAMES DMIRABLE AS
THE WIFE IN CAST OF TWO
The First Fifty Years Has
Some Humorous and Alb
sorbing Minutes.

Youth had its fling with more or less
last night. Tom Powers and Miss Clare
Eames, who are not veterans in years
or experience. acted the only two roles
in THE First Fifty Years" Henry
Meyers, the author. il a recent graduate
of Columbia University and his impre-
sarios Lorenz NJ. Hart and Irving s..
Strouse, are said to come from the same
institution. Only the name of Living
ston Plat, who was the stage manager,
suggested maturity.
Mr.. Meyers has with the relentless
pessimism OF youth drawn u series of
pictures of what may happen in matri-
mony even when 1t begins under the,
most favorable conditions. In the first
tableau a young couple enter their Har
lem home straight from the honeymoon.
They are happy and osculation echoes
throughout the parlor. 1t seems to
represent the decorative taste of Har-
lem in the early SOS. Miss Eames,
however. was dressed in the mode of the
Second Empire. Were Harlem and the
Grecian Bend ever contemporaneous?
They were in the play last night until
Miss Eames slipped on a wrapper that
seemed more suggestive of Godey's
Lady's Book of the period.
The course of true love never ran
smooth even in matrimony, He earns
too little. She has an old lover in
the background, or at least in Australia,
which ought to be remote enough for
the most jealous husband.
After while they cease to speak. He
earns more but they still stop in Har-
lem. He is i'll and she postoones going
away especially after he has attracted
her attention to the fact that she is
not so young as she was. So she stops
at home and after a while they are so
satisfied with old age that they take
to playing eucher on Sunday mornings.
But they talk of going to church after
a while. The population of the family
was Increased only by a canary.
There was no change of scene. Every
thing was Harlem and the same couple.
Miss Games acted the wife with her
keen intelligence and characterized her
passage through the years. Tom Pow
ers gave really masterful performance
of the husband. Especially truthful was
his acting of the later scenes which had
