Is every woman possessed by the demon of jealousy? Does It gain ascondancy sooner or lator In every woman's life? Is It Ineradicable from the feminine na turoT Such Is tho opinion of Henri Bern stein, tho distinguished French dramatist, whose play, "The Secret," will open at the Broad Street Theatre Monday, with Trances Starr In tho leadlnc role. In "The Secret" M. Bornstoln dra matically expresses his none too flatter ing opinion of the fair sex. And In tho character of Madame Qabrlelle Jnnnelot he portrays a character charming, loving and loved swayed and distorted by the sinister green passion. "Jealousy," M. Bernstein has sold, "Is an Integral cle ment of the feminine nature. Sooner or -.-later If. will master a woman. Madame Jannelot, of my play, Is Jealous even of people's happiness when she Is not the cause of their happiness. She cannot even endure seeing her husband made happy by his sister, and, pretending to be the sister's champion, for years Bohomes to bring about an alienation. Yes, I bellevo she represents a phase of the character of every woman." Whether one agrees with M. Bernstein oV not, he has written a compelling play, nnd one In which Frances Starr, during the long run In New York, showed her superemlnent abilities as on emotional actress. The production of a Belasco play is alwifys an event of Importance, and, having seen the play In New York, wo can conscientiously recommend It. In "Today," by George Broadhurst and Abraham Schomer, there Is presented the problem of feminine extravagance. The play deals with a wife's desire for gaudy clothes and a social position. Hero Is Indeed a problem not unfamiliar In life. The wife In this cajie la tempted to de ceive her husband, whereupon, to quota the press agent, she "is dashed to the rocks of destruction." This past week has been the banner luwmcu wee or tno season from a box office standpoint Every show In town may be said to be a hit The houses have sold out, and the apathy of audiences vanished in encoring enthu siasm. Just how much all this may be . due to the football game and the Thanks giving spirit, cannot, of course, be as certained. But the attractions all In trinsically deserved the appreciation they received.

Miss De Sousa also has a wonderful voice but then, If ou have heard her sing In "Tho Queen of tho Movies," at tho Forrest, you already know that. But not having met Miss De Sousa off tho stage. If you have not had tea with her at the St. James, there are some things you do not know. MIbs De Sousa has opinions original, startling and sane opinions, on many phases of life. "Don't expect to nnd me a romantic person today," laughed Miss De Sousa tho other afternoon, Just as the waltor bowed and awaited orders for It was tea "I've had a toothache all night and no woman can be romantlo if she has a toothache, can she?

I'd wish the bride got a toothache all during the honeymoon Could I wish anything worse T" Miss De Sousa Is a suffragette nnd re cently in Boston delivered a lecture be fore the Anti-Suffrage Society for suf frage. Miss De Sousa declared that one of the greatest hindrances to the success of the cause are some of tho women who pose as leaders. "It Is unfortunate," she said, "that the cause should attract a lot of women whose only Interest Is to get Into tho news papers or who take the 'mlssslon' of suf frage as an excuse for neglecting their duties In life. Tou see, a man can afford to bo weak no woman can. A paradox I Ah, life Is a matter of reciprocity, and a sense of dependence often gives strength. If men could get along without women, where would w bel A woman com plements a man's life ; a man, a woman's. And when women set themselves apart as interdependent, when they become ag gressive and contemptuous of men, they merely show their weakness.

A lot of women, unable to hold a husband by any natural charms, set out along an tagonistic lines and assume a vulgar mas culinity. Aa suffragists they are the movemont's worst deterrents. The depend ence of a child upon Its mother really strengthens the mother. The dependence of a wlfo strengthens a man. A woman who deserts a husband, or neglects her child, shows an incapacity for fulfilling the functions of life. She may pose as a leading suffragette, but she Is merely stupid." Miss De Sousa has had a remarkable career. For one thing, she was born In Chicago, which she loves; for another, she Is the only American actress who hos ever played at the Comedlo Francals, In Paris Miss De SouBa alternated with dairy Deslys In playing at the Moulin Rouge.

Zest in Its Uncertainty. By FRANCES STARK Certainly tho topic of marriage Is a democratic topic. Like death, maTrlags is ono of llfo's two greatest ndvontures. I would keep It an adventure. Thora is a growing tendency today, symbolized by the movement which tlnunts on Its banner tho ugly name of "eugenics,'1 to ratlonatlze marriage and to reduce It to an exact science, llko ch'ess But healthy people havo always preferred cards and dlco to chess, Just because cards and dlco involve chance. I would not tako away from marrfago nil Its risks, for that would bo to tako nway Its adven turesomething wo cannot too much cher ish In an ago wherein people want to be suro of everything, even their wives. Thore Is something craven and cow ardly, for example, In the man who pas sionately wants to go to a foreign city, but lms no monoy and docs not daro to tako his chanco of making a living there, Thero Is something equally craven and cowardly In tho man who wants to marry a girl, but doesn't daro to becauso ho Is not suro that instead of eternal hap piness with her ho may not have per- , potual bickering and misery "When we bo come timid of all adventuro we don't deserve to havo wives or husbands. Marrlngo ought to bo only for the bravo. Every time I read of a runaway mar riage or olopoment, every time I read of a romantic or so-called foolish match, I draw fresh Inspiration from tho fact that courage Is not yet dead. Of course, many such marriages turn out badly. Yet, unless wo have somo marriages which turn out badly wo shall never, strictly speaking, havo any marriages which turn out well Bettor a thousand times a few mistakes than that marrlngo should become n colorless certainty of a dead level of comfort. At times I almost feel Inclined to lay It down as a hard and fast rule, "Marry young or don't marry at all," for as wo grow older our powor of Illusion grows less We becomo painfully analytical and see tho obverse side of the medal In everybody. And as for falling In love, It becomes Increasingly ditllcult every year after 20, until, possibly, ono reaches what In Tranco they call tho "dangerous age," when a rush of second youth, a sort of romantic second wind, leads women of 40 or thereabouts to lllng tliomsolyes Into nil kinds of adventure. But marriages contracted In this artificial and short lived romantlo period what might bs called the sentimental period nearly al ways turn out disastrously. Youth Is the nutural tlmo for contracting marriages. Wiseacres have always bewailed youth ful and romantic marriages, on tho ground that young peoplo aro not com petent to Judgo. But If peoplo waited until they were competent to Judge they would bo very apt not to marry at all. -? rrt. lir Tl !f..s Denouement Ever Seen on the American Stage.
