This admirably con structed and elaborately produced drama by Charles Klein recorded the longest run of nnv play produced in New York lust season, remaining at Maxino Elliott's theatre for over 200 performances. Tho story of tho play deals wit,h Wilbur Emerson, a young nnd ambi tious speculator, who has been made mannger of tho Emerson chnin of banks. Ho is guilty of misusing tho funds in his offorts nt oxpansion and is trapped by tho fedorul authorities. Ono of his associates turn state'B evidence and delivers certain incriminating notes to tho prosecutor's home. Emerson's efforts by theft to gain possession of tho notes, especially to shield his nged father, tho bank's president, who has been deceived in tho whole affair, in volves tho young man with tho lawyer's wife, and stirs tho latter 's jealous suspicions of her. It is in this situation whero Cntherino Darwin finds herself forced to decide whothor her duty lies in giving tho notes to her husband or in attempting to shield tho man who it is her hus band's duty to prosecute. She refuses to nssiat her husband, but under provo cation which makes her conduct reason able.
