By EARLE DORSEY.

Aside from the opportunity ft
affords Grace George to face the
footlights once again, there is a
haunting emptiness about To
Love-" the translation Of Paul Ger
aldy's French play, "Aimer." which
William A. Brady brought to the

cious earnestness, the high formal

meets and Is fascinated by a dy-
manic wanderer, only to discover
that home ties are too strong for
an elopement. Three acts are re-
auired to unfold this theme, which
could easily be stated in a single
episode, though under such prepos-
ferrous circumstances Miss George
would be deprived of her present
opportunity to demonstrate that 80
year-old roles call for a physical
force and stamina that seem 70
transcend Miss Georges ability.
On the other hand, the play mani
tests an odd earnestness that elicits
attention and excites interest. There
is a note of deep thoughtfulness in
the reluctance of the husband to
speak of his wife's manifest fiirta-
ton with an admirer, just as thsre
is in his refusal to eliminate the
other man. by murder or mayhem.
when the other man threatens his
domestic happiness. This earnest
ness. however, never becomes cpl
demic, and is contradicted in the
end by a solution that. il not self
evident. is at least obvious.
Robert warwick exhibits a fash
Of histrionIc charm In the first act
that amazes those who believe him
incapable of acting. True, his work
slacks off thereafter, but that first
act scene is brilliant. Norman Tre-
vor. however. brings the real acting
of the evening to the footlights, In
the role OF the husband who sees
happiness slipping from his grasp
