This at least is under- stood. It is not so casy to understand the American mother placed in a french situation. That's why I say t would have been well for the adapter to let bad enough alone. Sometimes a change of air is so in- idvisable it may prove fatal. For one thing it is difficult to be- seve Laura Thorne when ehe asserts ne “made” the man with whom she as been living for seventeen years. {low did she “make” him, what was er power to influence the career of this editor who is appointed to an mportant diplomatic post? Appar- ently, her only associates, except for im, are kept women with no more rains than their trade demands. Her claim really takes the form of in- ufferable nagging.

It is this boy who gives the play a peculiar interest No doubt the Southern accent of Sidney Blackmer had something to do with softening the character. He seemed too mild to be true as an American lad unt!l he showed spunk enough to face Brander, Yet the earlier !mpression may have beon un- fair, considering the fact that he was Playing a youth with a backdoor spirit, one whose mother, fearful that her secret might get out to others than the man who knew it, never allowed him to come or go through the front door. That sort of boy couldn't be expected to have much spirit. r. Blackmer’s way of shaking a cocktail was strangely xentle. Yet his manner matched shabby clothes, and he made the shy charm of it felt. Moreover, he put his heart into the plea for the mother so completely that he touched the heart of his audience.
