It is a powerful sermon and at the same time a most fascin- ating . and gripplng drama of the modern school. It brings forward the remarkable case of a young woman convicted on ctrcumstantial evidence, who is pursued and persecuted by the police force after she had been the wife of a man of position and wealth for ten years. Margaret Case had been paroled, but was nevertheless the vie- tim of police insults, notwithstanding her years of good behavior and her record of charitable deeds in a happy home. The play which was written by Max Marcin, outlines the career of an innocent girl, who fell in love with a housebreaker and is convicted of a crime through association, possessing no knowledge whatever thereof. Margaret serves a brief sen- tence and is released on parole, she leaves New York under an name and settles in Kansas City, as a stenographer, eventually becoming the wife of her employer. Through her devotion, and the husband’s great ability, he becomes a power in the railroad world, and ultimately, is called to New York to assume con- trol of a great rallroad system. As Mrs. Lake, Margaret has achieved so- cial distinction, and when a detective, who had been instrumental in her imprisonment recognizes her he be- gins a vigorous persecution of the helpless young wife. There are in- numerable stirring incidents leading up to what has been called the most thrilling dramgtic climax seen in any play of recent years. Prominent in the cast to be scen in this city will be Mis Adeline O’Connor, as Margaret Case, Robert Middlemas, as Harvey Lake, Cly gel, Hal Mordaunt, Foster V Charles Reigl, Amelia Meyers tram Miller, Martin Malloy, Willlam T. Hayes and Sonia Jasper.
