Ui" Melodrama With a Vengeance | ee BY CHARLES DARNTON. _ AND MY FACE, SLIPPED ® | | the more or less crucial moment: “It is the woman who pays!—~pays!!—| © pays!!!" Usually, sbe doesn't do anything but shriek to the gallery, but in “1 O. U." the extravagant lady with an extraordinary love for finery fs calles upon to settle ber account in a startling manner. ‘ =} It doemn't matter that the play at lr has long been the delight of the heroine of near-drama to ory out at the Belmont Th: by Hector Turn- boll and Willard Mack was originally fim affair called “The Cheat.” Even the movies have revealed worse plays than this tortuous contribution to the stage. I shouldn't be at all eurprised if “I. O. U.” proved allur- ing to women who take their delicate nerves to the theatre in the hope of getting @ violent shock. It is melo- drama with a vengeance. In this instance vengeance {s wreaked by a gorgeous East Indian, wh brands the white shoulder of a Broker's wife after he has given ber $10,000 and she goes back on her bar- ga fo give him what he wants. The ding-iron scene may legitimately be described as hot stuff, for I've nover @een anything hotter in the theatre. It will enable the most confirmed Dlaygoer to face a coalless winter without fiinchinj for “Bo-bo, such a silly flirt that sho deserve: that comes techer. After running up no end of she takes $10,000 entrusted to as treasurer of a charity fund and the money in the stock market. eover, she uses a check her hus- band gives her to pay the deb are the penalty of her in vanity. As a matter of fact, averdressed at every hour of the day night that che looks ridiculous. the Jig is up she turns trust- ingly to her Hindu admirer and, fool- ishly enough, expects him to lend ver the money she needs to keep her hoad above scandal. Now, the most poetic of Bast indians is not knocking abvut this country for his health. Accord- ingly, Ramdah Sima, when he gets the cold instead of white shoulder, brings into play a pleasing custom of his country—if his explanation may to) laccepted. In short, a persen who) proves unfaithful to another is brand- ed on the shoulder, He Jocks the woman who has cheated him in Sis rooms and by scorching her saves tho extravagant creature's husband any further expense so far as evening gowns are concerned. It was not a pleasant sight to ob- serve Mary Nash, with her hands tied, writhing under the iron and wriggling on the floor, but she acted her melo- dramatic scene for all It was worth. Her butterfly manners in the earlier part of the play were not convincing. She smiled and smiled—even at the butler, But with her dress ripped at the neck and facing desperate situation, she acted as a woman would act in a situation of that kind. It was such good acting that the human grip of it Miss Nash went through the earlier scenes 4 matter-of-fact manner, despite her affectations, but she rose splendidly—that is, with the force of a real woman—to the situation in which "“Bo-Bo” was compelled to face the consequences of her foolish- ness. Jose on BE age ted the terrible In- dian with distinction, and Frederick Truesdell acted with commendable restraint ax the husband of the woman who consistently made @ fool of herself.
