In this new home of art, the decorations of which enthusiastically Egyptian, “s play of to-dey’ Was given. ‘This description found Justification in a collection of grefters that made “Within the Law” of timely, if not educational, value. Of the honesty of the author, Bayard Velller, there could be no question, His play stood forth squarely and fairly as melodrama, and as such tt rapidly sagumed the proportions of a popular auccess, It will doubtless have no dim. culty in holding tts own with the “crook plays” that grew so dear to the heart of the public even before the time was ripe for them, Under the present harvest moon of graft “Within the Law” can hardly fa.l to reap its own reward in box office receipts, When lovely woman stoops to blacks mail, what are we going to do about It? To discuss the ethical side of the ques- tion would be only to waste space. The pinay offers its own argument—the rather specious one that a girl who is sent to prison for a erime she has not coms mitted feels tt Is her right to revenge herself upon soctety—!n other words, to fet even.

It her remarks on this subject Mary talk straight from the shoulder, But when she turns blackmatier and revenges her- self upon her former employer by mar- rying his son Mary {s so altogether contrary to @ocepted laws that we hardly know what to make of her. She is most easily explaine & product of a play. What she does ts done for the good of the play. And “Within the Law" ts a very good play of {ts kind. It lw interesting melo- drama filled with thrills and surprises. The greatest surprise of all is the change that a Ife of erlme works in Mary. She Decomes such a lady that we marvel at her, ‘Won't you stay and have a cup of tea?" she sweetly murmurs to @ crook in her charming home of crime, The serenity of her life ts broken only when “English Eddie. base stool pigeon that he ts, betrays her trust In him, He tempts her favorite crook, Joe Garson, with a tale of Gothic tapestries that hang in the home of her unhappy father-in-law.
