Julia Dean Stars .
In Comedy Plays
/. With Garrickers

~ARRY McGARRY'S Garrick
- Players presented "Her Own
~ Money" Mark Swann's COM
edy drama, at the Garrick last
night, with. julia Dean; staged un.
der the direction OF George Henry
Trader.
Her Own Money" resembled
last night a diamond-with some
unfortunate rough spots still uD.
cut. Haunting the production was
that perennial nemesis of stock,
unsteady lines; confined, however,
happily to the supporting cast.
But the flaws were compare
lively unimportanf. for here rs an
epigram on the eternal drama OF
man and wife; enormously real to-
day as II was six years ago Tin
premier, as 1t will continue to be
so long as men hold to the custom
of supporting their wives. The
theme concerns the money ques-
tion in relation to marriage;
woman's reluctance to ask her
husband for cash.
A rather unusual undertone of
ironic humor reused the audience
oftener than the average avowed
farce. Julian Dean-sometimes
family reminiscent of the Gar
rick's erstwhile Ada Meade
swept into the heights of emotional
realism at the close Of the second
act, when the husband leaves
home. 1t is a place where only
high skill elevates the effect above
melodrama.
Duncan Penwarden,. as Lewis
Alden, the husband, furnished
Miss Dean with all that could have
been desired in support from this
important quarter. His lines were
firm and there was a mellow
naturalness about his depletion.
The comic relief - flavoring
strongly almost every moment of
the play-was had in the pic
turesquely unfortunate Mr.. and
Mrs. Beecher, the one forever hen
pecked and the other bickeringly
insistent for money; AMI also IN the
dens as a warning in regard to
their future monetary relations.

II Miss Dean Is able TO free her
performance from occasional
glimpses of the artificial atmos.

ingly insist on breeding she will

j. 5. HAS MUCH
To Be THANKFUL
FOR, SAYS DAVIS
Secretary Of Labor Feels Un-
employment Solved and
Wage Cutting Checked.
BY JAMES j. DAVIS
Secretary Of Agriculture.

(Copyright, 1922, by Cosmopolitan News
Servics)
America has much to be thankful
for on Labor Day. Despite strikes
in three of our greatest industries,
which have kept a million working.
men idle for months, the United
States today Is the most prosperous
country in the world.
In the year since last Labor Day
we have accomplished two great
things. We have met and conquer
ed the great menace Of unemploy-
ment and we have prevented dis
astrous wage cutting in American
industry.
A year ago today between five and
six million men were idle in Amer.
lea, walking the streets, seeking en-
ployment. Today between four and
five million Of these men have been
put to work, and their earnings have
been added to the great buying
power of the country, fastening the
return of prosperity. We have
fought our way from the depths of
one of the greatest industrial de-
pressions the nation ever faced, and
we. are now on the threshold of a
new era of prosperity.
Our great need today is industrial
peace. With the industrial conflicts
of the last year out of the way we
are ready for tremendous trade re-
vival. American genius can and will
find a way to settle these disputes
between employer and employe with.
out recourse to the futile appeal 10
force.

or Grand Rapids. Mich, has
IA the greatest increment from
The business of dealing In beds and
boudoirs and all their accouter.
ments, Is a question we shall take
up with the statistical editor as
soon as that gentleman returns
from his weekend sojourn. In tae
meantime we conditionally purvey
a cross Of valor upon the facile
Mr.. Hopwood for his consistent
courage in calling a bedroom a
glass showcase. With the indus
try Of a well.wtned concierge chas.
ing dirt from a pension staircase,
Hopwood has been indefatigable in
brushing the cobwebs of privacy
from the, American bsdroom. To
him diaphanous pajamas are pro-
sale twin to black sateen sleeve
let's. He exhibits a spade but
calls II elsewise. 1t is this Hop
woodian knack that leads us to
believe that, had the plebeian mArts
of trade, rather than one Of the
arts, beckoned his abilities, he
would have chained up the Piggly-
Wiggly store system before the
present originators thought Of it.
Hopwood Is like that.
Categorical precision and obvi.
BUSINESS Is a Hopwood trait. You
know, upon entering the theutri-
cal store, that on shelf two, there
will be a pair of beds, one almost
new, or a stateroom or a Pullman
berth. On sundry other figurative
hooks. hooks and shelves will re-
pose the staples usually associated
with yawns and clock-winding.
But there are no yawns In this
newest Of Hopwood farces. 1t 10
a deftly actionable piece, with
more than a modicum Of good act.
ing and a method Of treatment
that dusts over the some time OBJ.
yiousness of dialogue.
OF course, the question, why
Men Leave Home" is answered to
a strictly limited degree in only
one of its multifarious phases.
Herein they leave home because
they are neglected by globe-trot.
ting, idol.loving women, who think
the home trail starts at the bank
cashiers cage and ends at the
modiste's.
There Is comedy, some smartly
handled emotion and a bed room
diatribe which defines the pur.
poses of the American home to
round applause from the 100 per
cent husbands
There were two factions pres
ent last night, as competitive ap-
plause for the twin beds In act
-.
last act touched on a degree Of
suspense and pleasurable result
which exacted further mental ap.
plause from US.
The aim Of farce comedy is to
entertain. and Hopwood achieves
this aim. Hair-splitters who ap-
plauded the bed room scene in
Main Street" for its "verisimili.
tude" will probably abuse this
better scene despite the identical
touch.
The cast Is uniformly good. Flor
ence Shirley was almost dual in
the role of the chief home
breaker. Called upon to produce
utter vapidity and, later. tense
emotion, she ably revealed her
self in both etchings. John Nc
Farlane, as husband, seemed
ideally. placed. Comedy honors
went to Herbert Yost and Paul
Everton, with the juvenile leads
unusually well handled by Norval
Keadweil and Isabel Leighton
Kind words also for Jessie Villars,
Theresa Conover, Audrey Hart,
and, especially, the "Vamp,"
Wanna Lorraine.
