Much interest attaches Itself to the engage-

and distinguished actress who comes to Boyd's
theater on Monday and Tuesday evenings
next. At bolh performances she will present
Pinero's greatest success , "Tho Profligate , "
which was originally produced In Philadelphia
phla last fall Since then she has played It
In i all the large cities and he brightness oC
the text , the strong situations throughout the
play and the excellent acting ot Miss Bur-
roughs and the memlJers ot the company have
flrlllly eSlahllshEd It as one ot the successes , .
oC the present season. While the play was
first produced } In London some four years ago ,
It i has never been seen In America until Miss
Ilurroughs secured the rights through Mr. E.
S.Vlliard , mainly because ot the boldness
ot the theme Since , however "The Secant !
lIfrs Tnlllluerny" was given In this country
by the Kendals there bras never been 0 great
demand for the play. "The Profllgato" presents -
sents the opposite to that given In the "TI\ \
Second Mrs. 'l'anl\uern \ . " Like so many ot
tbo strong and successful plays ot the pres-
ent time It deals with the Iluestion ot moral-
Icy : Hint Is , the morality that Is understood ,
In the relation ot men and women. It t deals
with subjects that In the past have been only
spoken / tinder breath and have never been
discussed , or consIdered by men and women
unlit within a short tine It turns upon the
comparative morality ot the sexes and , the
underlying arlulllent ; Is that men should
bring to their wives time personal purity ot
