The acting is good and the theme which deals with the amatory animad- versions of a good-natured lover of one half of humanity is one that should not excite umbrage, since done except the commis- sion of a few semi-platonic osculatory | exercises which a less jealous wife | than Mrs. Pepys might pass, on the| {ingenious explanation of her spouse. | Yvonne Arnaud as Mrs. Pepys, goes | thru the performance like a streak of greased lighting and during the many tussles with her husband over | his suspected infedilities she won the} arguments, tho it appeared that} Samuel won everything else. In the first act, Mrs. Pepys comes | home to find her husband entertain- | ing a goodly company, in which was | a fair sprinkling of the female sex. | Mrs. Pepys did not like women and | shortly on her arrival the party | breaks up, zigzagging out of the apartment as a result of copious libations. The host shortly before saved a song-woman from attack. To her house he was invited, but told his | wife that he was going to the navy department. Thither his wife repaired | only to find no answer to her knock- | ing. She afterwards repaired to the | home of the song-woman, only to dis- | turb an amatory king in his prow- | lings. Those were the days of Nell | Gywn and the Stuarts. By the time Mrs. Pepys arriveg her | husband had been driven into a coffin- | like chest by the arrival of Charles | II, and when the king is finally lo-} cated behind the curtains by Mrs. | Pepys, a very interesting scene is| enacted over the chest in which the unlucky Pepys is confined. The play ends on a harmonious note | but one feels that Mr. Pepys will not! change his habits and that the fiery Mrs. Pepys will have more reasons for ; the exercise of her indignation, | SINCLAIR PRAISES “THE BELT.” Appreciation of “The Belt,” Paul| Sifton’s play of conditions under mass | production methods in a Detroit au-| tomobile factory, is contained in the | following letter received by the Playwrights’ Sinclair.
