the ability to ride on the crest OF the
wave. though all but the survivors
sink to the depths.
The play. heretofore known as a
work of printed fiction, is offered
here as a world premiere, and those
who are privileged to attend its first
presentations are favored with a
study of new conception OF the
city. Writers have found in the
struggles of the crowded metropolis
a composite thing of life. Some
have derived inspiration, others have
seen the development of character
under difficulties. "Skyscraper Souls"
studies only one kind-the people
who fight, not for character or re-
flnement or stability, but for the un-
emotional things of ambition. Men
and women share the spoilS of ruth
lesSneSS. They come and CO. destroy
and themselves suffer from the gen.
eral devastation, excuse their errors
as due to desire for achievement and
go on to the end of chapter. Then,
1t is assumed. comes another chapter
of the same kind 1t is the fascinat-
ing story of the jungle, with the
animals clothed in the latest styles.
Stock jobbing has been borrowed
on numerous occasions to illuminate
stage or screen. Its value in this
play is in furnishing the background
for small group of persons, nearly
all of whom share the dregs of de-
feat. Disappointed lovers are COM
mon to all drama. but here they are
passed over lightly, except when one

very common. but here it is made
strongly theatrical. After the action
has been COMPLETED, the wife who
lives apart inherits the mass of
wealth that has been swiftly gath
cred by every form of disloyalty.
The play grips those who desire to
study the unlovely things that might
appeal to an expert naturalist.
Warren William gains new distinc-
tion as the financier who is unfaith-
full to his friends. Meureen O'Sulli-
