She turned sharply on her heel and" “ left the room. slamming her bedroom door behind her.

If she happens to be ’tltted with a. good play it becomes worthy of a. celebration. In "llelena's Boys, which she acted this week, she has a. play far below her requirements. But she manages to vitalize it and make it one of the most amusing of the recent produc- tions. Ida Lublenskl Ehrlich is the author. d besides Mrs. Flake. VVil- lizun Cor eigh and a competent cast are engaged. Charles L. “'agner. the producer. has given it a. fitting setting. Helena. is Helena Tilden. widow. with two sons who are at school and are imbued with radical ideas. One of the boys. young "Beansy." is an adolescent agitator who had the dis- courtesy to cry “bunk" when one of the trustees of the school was speak- ing. For this he is suspended until he apologises. Helena finds herself confronted with the problem of bringing her boys back to normalcy. To make the task harder when they return home they are accompanied by a. youth who has won some local notoriety as an “advanced" thinker. “’hen they arrive and begin to spurt their views. freedom. free love and the like, Helena. being a. wise mother as well as a. buxom widow with thoughts of second matrimony, de- cides to stage a. little farce herself. So she listens. she and her suitor. and at dinner she simulates tipsiness and confesses to her son and his friend that she has become convert- ed, and instead of marrying her suitor. they are to be “for each other" without benefit of clergy. When the new view comes home to the youths. it seems less practical. In the end the mother consents to give up the wild idea. and to be de- cently married—«provided the apolo~ gy is forthcoming—and the family once more reinstated in the good graces of each other. This is done. and radicalism meets defeat. Mrs. Fiske is today the greatest comedlcnne on the American stage. She made a. great deal more of this part than it held, and in this pro- portion the play was amusing and enjoyable. O O O Doubtless as much harm is done to the world through the misguided efforts. honestly intended. as through the deliberate act of those whose purposes are less commendable. Thus we find ourselves called upon to pass judgment on a. play called "Two Strangers From Nowhere,” which appears to have been the sin- cere effort of Myron C. Fagan, who As it ap- pears on the stage. however. it is a confusing, tiresome, and perplexing Jumble of thoughts and words. In fact it is rather difficult for any two persons who saw the three acts to agree upon any part of either. Even so fine a cast as has’been assembled. which includes Fritz Lieber. Gall Kane. J. H. Bradbury, Thais Lawton, Richard Gordon. Frances McGrath. Norval Keedwell and others. were unable to give a. semblance of intel- llgence to it. It is presumably a sort of modern morality play. re- plete with indistinguishable symbols and bromldio truths. Jn fact it is a. misdirected effort. and there are Mn. Arthur Murphy. daughter of Henry Hay Morgan. American consul general of Belgium. who has renounced social life to be- come a. movie actress, has very de- cided views on the subject of the modern marriage. Mrs. Converse was married at the age of 16— eloped after a. three-day courtship -—and the marriage lasted two years. She says in part: “Marriage should be as difficult as divorce or divorce should be as easy as marriage. The present standard of marriage and divorce is all wrong. Had I been forced by law to wait even a. week after signifying my intention to marry I would not be married today." STH MA N° cu" ‘0' it. but welcom relief is often brought by—. humongous. .
