The local press has been ilnhnftn'oiis lu oxtendlng "the glad band" to both star and plnv. and the public lias been with tbe press. The story of the piny Is de- cidedly secondary to Ihe bright lines and cleverly wrought situations, but the genius of success lurks In the persona llty of the star himself, who radiates good humor every min- ute, and seems to imbue his coworkers with the fume spirit. Helena Cnllier-Gnrrick, Ellen Mortimer, Jane Laurel. Albert Perry, John Snvtlle and Keglnald Mason are deserving of special praise for the manner in which they caught the Infection of the piece.

Some of Ibe local papers condemned the offering out aud out, but the point of view of tbe audi- ence on tbe second night indicated that while Ihe subject was not pleasing, the treatment, from a dramatic standpoint, was splendidly done. Charles, Duke of Cluny, has been married fur a ■ number of years, but no children have come of the union, and the duchess desires to adopt u daughter. She has known a Cora May, a woman of the world, who iias also been philanthropic, and when this woman dies, she requests rbe duchess to bring up her daughter, Joy, which the duchess is only too happy to do. Phe dyke, not knowing whom Joy Is, has met tier some time before, and succumbed to the pas- sion of his race, but .toy Is, we are told, a very Innocent tiling, who yields to his olan- dlfhmonts ns many another gin without the prop-.T Rttardiau might. When brought to the chateau. Joy recognizes Cluny, but he, to «ave his wife. Helen, and by the stlvice of Ills friend, Knvercau, tells the girl she Is mis- taken, nntl tnkes him for some oilier nan. She Ik not to be hoodwinked, however. Lieu*-, iloild, a cousin of Helen. loves Joy, and asks i-er lo marrv hlni, but Bbc refuses, and refers him to Cluny as ro whether she should or not. us sli.» "ssys Cluny knows the. reason, which she cnnilot tell Dodd. Oluny, again to save Helen, tells Dodd he knows of no rea- son why he should not marry Joy, and the latter refuses denouncing Cluny In each a manner that every one but Helen knows that he is the culprit, but Helen Is so blinded by her love for lilin that she Is never for a moment biistiIcWju*. Cluny finally tells Helen he Is guilty r.nd the curtain falls with the two In 'their separate rooms, but with the prospects of eventual reconciliation, and with Doild following Joy to Ills uncle's home, where lie snys lie will wall for her.
