n high degree of success.
Edward Clark, to a piano accompaniment,

"Blindness of Virtue"
The beautiful young daughter of an English
vicar Is brought up in Ignorance regarding the
facts of facts. She knows nothing about eu
genlcs or a lack of eugenics. The girl and a
youth, with whom she falls in love, nro drawn
back from the proverbial abyss "in time." This
la the theme of the "Blindness of Virtue." by
Cosmo Hamilton, well played by a company
of English actors at the Orphoum.
"The Conspiracy"
A young woman kills the leader of a band of
white Elavers and Is sought by the police. She
Is engaged as stenographer by a shrewd, whim
sical writer of detectlvo yarns, who writes a
tale about the crime committed by tho girl
and brings her to confess to him. However,
he saves her, and virtue triumphs. A thrilling
detectlvo drama, successful In New York and
revived, with excellent acting, at the American.
Liberty
The tricks of the stage are Infinite. In the
new production by the Brothers Byrne, of
"Eight Bells" fame, an aeroplane voyage lit
erally lifts beholders from their seats. There
Is a, collision between two motor cars and the
demolition of a Swiss Inn by a runaway ex
press train. A rough-and-tumble, fun-making
entertainment.
Rebecca
The delightful Rebecca, of Jlrs. Kale Douglas
Wiggins' "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." quite
captivates from the romantic settings on the
stage of the Walnut. Jlarguerite Henry plays
Rebecca with winning charm. A sweet, appeal,
(ng story of boyhood and girlhood.

Problem of Men's Neglect and Decep
tion of Wives Theme of "The Revolt."
A lay That "Gets Across."
A waiting wlfo a wife waiting late In the
night for the husband to return who, loving,
deludes herself Into believing her husband's
excuses and untruths, and caring for the
home and a child, Is stinted by a meagre al
lowance, makes over old dresses and bears
negligence patiently. A wlfo tortured with sus
picions, harrowed with Jealousy, still devoted
and meek and silent. A pathetic figure a too
common figure In life. Her counterpart Is to
be found In the little frame dwellings of every
town. In the drab rookeries of every hive-like
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 tho injus-'' "
tlce of the double standard of morals In the "
marriage relation In "The Revolt," which
opened nt tho Adclphi last night. One might
say It remained, through the vehicle of Jlr.
Lorke5s play, for Helen Ware intimately to pre
sent tho heart tragedy of too many wives.
"The Revolt" as a play has excellent qual
ities. It transplants complications nnd phases
of actual life to the stage. It carries its .alle
gory convincingly. It is a play that must seri
ously do good. AVhlle It throws before Its
audlfnce, in the second net. the meretricious
elegance nnd luxury of vicious living, ns main
tained by self-righteous, self-Justifying men,
"Tho Revolt" Is clean and salutary. It Is an
American play, dealing with familiar domestic
conditions. It is as effective a 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 after night for seven years.
There was only a honeymoon year of happiness.
John, the husband, acted by Alphonz Ethier,
spends his evenings ns many husbands do, and
while ho tells his wife he works at the office,
mingles in tho company of a certain kind of
emancipated women. To them he gives his
money. A tribute must be paid to Jliss Ware
as nn actress. Unaffected by the tricks of the
stage. Intellectual In her Interpretation, her
acting has tho simplicity of really great talent.
One Is never conscious of the actiess, you see
only the wife. Such a portrayal is art.
Assured of her husband's Infidelity by her
scheming, villainous, whlsky-addloted sten-
mother, who urges her to the life which, If it
costs men money, brings money to women,
Anna confronts John with evidence of his mis
doings In a letter recehed from a woman. The
long pent-up passion of years bursts forth, and
Anna rushes forth to tho life of freedom en
Joyed by the husband. AVhlle her precipitate
flight after midnight in the morning from the
dingy flat In Brooklyn to tho "swell" apart
ment of Flora La Rom, formerly Llna Schmidt,
her old school chum, on Riverside drive, raises
a doubt as to Its plnuslblllty. It Is supposedly
excused by the claim of dramatic exigencies.
Jlost women would wait till morning and, If
they loved their child as prodigiously as Anna
asserted, would take their child with them.
In striking contrast to the mean home of the I
accent wife, the second act flaunts

rather very early morning, revel takes place,
nnd Anna Stephens, radiantly clothed in a
Parisian gown of rose satin and spangled sil
ver, Is wooed by an intoxicated admirer. She
drinks champagne, sings, smokes cigarettes,
finally breaks down and weeps. There is a
struggle, for the Indomitable honesty and purity
of Anna's nature recoil from the abyss. At
the crucial hour Anna Is rescued by one of the
anonymous visitors, and Is about to flee when
a telephone message Informs her of the serious
illness of her child.
Over th bed of tho child, believed to be d

HOW THE CASTLES
BEGAN TO DANCE
That very delightful couple, Jlr. and Jlrs
Vernon Castle, hud danced tho "box trot," the
"Argentine tango," the old-fashioned polka, as
It was never so gracefully tlnnced by your
grandmother, and the "maxlxe" at Keith's
yesterday afternoon. In an awed whisper, a
woman In ono of tho boxes leaned to hor
vls-n-Ls and asked: "Where did they come
from? How did they ever learn to do It?"
Tho dancing of tho Caatlcs, who are as
charming as they are graceful, possesses the
delight of all too-fugitive things. That is the
only criticism one might make of their np
pcarancc. It is simply too delightful for 1U
brevity.
"When and how did you begin to dance?"
Jlr. Cnetle was naked, the curiosity ot the
woman In the box In mind.
'1 played the part of the barber In Lew
Fields' show, 'Henrietta,' in New York," said
Vernon Castle in the diesslng room after his)
"act" was over. "A French manager who
liked the act In which I appealed as the bar
ber asked me to go to Paris and do an ab
breviated sketch In French. Jlrs. Castle and
I had Just been mnrried. That was about three
years ago. AVe went to Paris. Our manager
went broke. AVe hnd Just 130 frnnes-$2ij. AVe
were desperate, 1 tell you. "What'll we do?
I said. 'Let's go to the Cafe de Paris nnd
spend the 100 francs,' said Jlrs. Castle. We
did. AVe had $t left.
"There were a lot of grand dukes and other
funny people in the Cafe do Paris. There was
dancing. AVe got into the spirit of tho fun, ,
and my wife nnd 1 got up and danced. AA'es
danced tno 'Giizzly Bear.' AA'o were rotten,
really. Somehow our dance pleased some Rus
sian prince, an awfully rich fellow, and he sent
2000 francs over to us ns n gift. I wanted to re
turn the $100, but my wlfo wouldn't let me. She
slipped the money into my pocket. The man
ager then came over and said he'd reserve the
table for us every night, give us our meals
and wanted us to dance. I told him I couldn't
do that: then he engaged us piofesslonally.
That's how we began. Jly wife had nover
been on tho stage.
"A year after that we came to New York
and danced at Louis JIartln's; everybody
knows the rest of the story. I've always
danced. 1 danced with Lotta Faust in the
'Jlcriy AVidow.' But pe improved a lot
since the Impromptu dance at tho Cafe de Paris.
Jlr. and Jlrs. Custie aro the greatest feat
ures vaudcvlllo has hart for a long time. Their
dancing. Indeed, too delightfully brief, swept
the house. Seconding tho Catties, Ruth Roye
certainly "got" the audlenco with her rag
time songs. Compared to Blossom Secly, an
"attraction" last week. Jliss Royc Is a real
"princess 0f lagtlme." and nlmost ns original
and Irresistible ns wns Eva Tjnguay in the
I don't care" craze.
