But Mr. Kenyon, with a broader human feeling than the average playwright displays, takes all these things into consideration, and for this reason his play is worth thinking about. 1t has manifestly not been written merely for an evening's entertainment. ‘The great trouble with the play is stealing of the diamond brooch by Maggie and too ifide emphasis upon the fact that she believes It would be wrong for her to bring @ child into the world in her The one touching moment is that in which Maggie tells why she stole the little gold pina and the baby ribbons.

In fect, Miss Ulington seems to turn ber face away from what is commonly considered the easiest way to fame, for ohe makes berself as ugly as possible without relying upor the euthor to change ber into the usual beautiful star in the end. The new dramatist, Charles Kenyon, dwells by preference on the ugly, cruel aspects of life, His play and Miss Il- Ungton are alike in that they ruthlessly sacrifice the glamour usually hovering Just beyond the footlights. In returning to the atage Miss Allington, who may properly be considered before the play if we take the Broadway point of view, has certainly shown the strength of her convictions by appearing in a role that makes her look @ hundred times worse than she has ever looked before, Quite aside from the play, this departure in an actress who perhaps hitherto has prided herself on her appearance is note- worthy.
