SHALL A WIFE DARE
WHAT A HUSBAND DOES?
Problem of Men's Neglect and Decep
tion of Wives Theme of "The Revolt."
A Play That "Gets Across."
A waiting wife a wife wnltlng late In the
night for the husband to return who, loving,
deludes herself Into believing her husband's
excuses and untruths, nnd who, caring for tho
homo nnd a child, is stinted by a meagre al
lowance, makes over old dresses nnd bear3
negligence patiently. A wlfo tortured with sus
picions, harrowed with Jealousy, still devoted
and meek nnd silent. A .pathetic flgurc-a too
common llguie In life. Her counterpart is to
be found In tho little frame dwellings of every
town, in the drab rookeries of every hive, liko
city apartment house.
It has remained for Edward Locke to present
this piteous human drama In such a popular
way as to express nnd bring home the injus
tice of the double standard of morals in tho
marrlago relation in "The Revolt," which
opened at the Adelphl last night. One might
say it remained, through the vehicle of Sir.
Locke's piny, for Helen Ware to present the
heart tragedy of too many wlc3.
"The Revolt" as a play has excellent qual
ities. It transplants complications and phases
of actual life to the stage. It carries its alle
gory convincingly. It Is a play that must seri
ously do good. While It throws bofoio Its
audience, in the second act, the meretricious
elegance and luxury of vicious living, as main
tained by self-righteous, self-Justifying men,
"Tho Revolt" Is clean nnd salutary, it Is nn
American play, dealing with familiar domestic,
conditions. It Is ns effective u play on Its
theme as was the antiseptic, much-exploited
drama of Brleux on another.
Anna Stephens, the wife, has waited for her
husband night nfter night for seven years.
There was only a honeymoon year of happiness.
John, the husband, acted by Alphon Ethier,
spends his evenings as many husbands do. and
while he tells his wife he works at the office,
mingles in the company of a certain kind of
emancipated women. To them he gives his
money. A tribute must b paid to Sliss Ware
us nn actress. Unaffected by the tricks of tho
stage. Intellectual in her interpretation, her
acting has the simplicity of really great talent.
Ono Is never conscious of the actress, you see
only the wife. Such a portrayal is art.
Assured of her husband's infidelity by her
scheming, villainous, whisky-addicted step
mother, who urges her to tho life which. If It
costs men money, brings money to women,
Anna confronts John with evidence of his mls
dlongs in a letter received from a woman. The
long pent-up passion of years bursts forth, and
Anna rushes forth to the life of freedom en
Joyed by the husband, while her precipitate
flight after midnight In the morning from tho
dingy flat in Brooklyn to the "swell" apart
ment of Flora La Roie. formerly Llna Schmidt,
her old school chum, on Riverside drive, raises
a doubt as to Its plausibility, it is supposedly
excused by the claim of dramatic exigencies.
.Most women would wait till morning and. If
thoy loved their child ns prodigiously as Anna
did, would take their child with them.
In striking contrast to the mean home of the
decent wife, the second act Haunts the alluro
and horror of tho luxurious home of tho aban
doned woman. Beth Franklyn, as La Rose. Is
shockingly true to life, we Just almost hate to
mnko her acquaintance in public. A night, or
rather very early morning, revel takes place,
and Anna Stephens, radiantly clothed In a
Parisian gown of rose satin and spangled sil
ver. Is wooed by an Intoxicated admirer. Sho
drinks champagne, sings, smokes cigarettes,
finally bleaks down and weeps. Theie Is a
snuggle, for the Indomitable honesty and purity
of Anna's nature recoil from the abyss. At
tho crucial hour Anna is rescued by one of th
anonymous visitors, and Is nbout to fleo when
a telephone message Informs her ot tho serious
illness of hor child.
Over th bod of the child, believed to be dy
ing, the husband, confronted with the folly of

HOW THE CASTLES
BEGAN TO DANCE
That very delightful couple. Mr. and Sirs
Vernon Castle, had danced the "box trot." thf
"Argentine tango," the old-fashioned polka, ai
It was never so gracefully danced by your
grandmother, and the "maxlxe" at Keith's
yesterday afternoon. In an awed whisper, n
woman In ono of the boxes leaned to her
vis-a-l.s and asked: "Where did they com
from? How did they ever learn to do it?"
The dancing of the Castles, who are as
charming as they are graceful, possesses tho
delight of all too-fugitive things. That is tho
only criticism one might make of their ap
pearance, it is simply too delightful for its
brevity.
"When nnd how did you begin to dance'"
Sir. Castle was asked, the curiosity of tho
woman In the box In mind.
"I played the pnrt of the barber In Lew
Fields' show. Henrietta,' in New York," said
Vernon Castle in the dicssing room after his
"net" was over: "A French manager who
liked tho act in which I appeared as the bar
ber asked me to go to Paris and do an ab
breviated sketch in French. Mrs. Castle anA
I had Just bten married. That was nbout three
years ago. We went to Paris. Our manager
went broke. We had Just 130 frnncs-J26. We
were desperate, I tell ou. 'Whafll we do?'
I s,ald. 'Let's go to the Cafe d' Paris and
spend the 100 francs,' said Sirs. Castle. We
did. We hud $6 left.
"There were a lot of grand dukes nnd other
funny people in the Cafe d' Paiiw. There was
dancing. We got Into the spirit of the fun.
a nd my wife nnd I got up and danced. Wo
danced tno 'Grizzly Bear.' We were rotten,
really. Somehow our dance pleased some Rus
sian piinco, an awfully rich fellow, and he sent
ZOO) frnncn over to us as a gift. I wanted to re
turn the J100. but my wire wouldn't let me She
slipped the money into my pocket. Tho man
ager then came over and said he'd rese.ve the
table for us every night, give us our meals
and wanted us to dance. 1 told him I couldn't
do that, then he engaged us professionally.
That's how we began. Sly wlfo had never
been on tho stage.
"A year nfter that we came to New York
nnd danced nt Louis Slartin's,; everybody
knows the lest of the story. I've always
danced. I danced with Lotta Faust In the
".Merry Widow." But I've Improved a lot
since tho Impromptu dani.o at the Cafe d'Paris.
Sir. and Sirs. Castle are the greatest feat
utes vaudeville has had for u long time. Their
dancing, indeed, too delightfully brief, swept
tho house. Seconding the Castles, Ruth Roye
certainly "got" tho audience with her rag
time songs. Compared to Blossom Seely, nn
"attraction" last week, Sliss Roye Is a real
"princess of ragtime." and almost as rolglno!
and trreslstable ns was Eva Tanguay In the
early days of the "I don't care" craze
