Show WILKES 31 T LIND YOUTH," the play writ- :HH J ton by Willard Mack in which ' r-mt Lou Tellegan starred all last season, m is one well adapted to stock produc- tion. This will doubtedly be proved 'h next week when the Wilkes Players yk present it. It will open Sunday night tR running all week with matinees Thurs- Vij? day and Saturday. im The story is in no sense preachy and !!f yet the force with which it depicts the folly of wasting youth gets over the & foot-lights and leaves an ineffaceable .'ip impression. -f, ; A young man left in Paris by him- $ self because Tiis father is dead and LJfl his mother has married (igain-drifts "" JSI into a dissipated life. His plentiful fJjB supply of money draws a coterie' oi . , $ friends to him. Among them . is an , JH unscrupulous woman with whom he Y& falls in love. ' The fortune is wasted, the woman Sk marries a rich man, and the young . -4 man plunges into a vortex of debauch- - ery that lasts until two of his loyal :di friends persuade him to leave for New m York. There he enters his mother's ft house and finds a shallow-willed half- PM brother, who needs his guidance, but I'm won't accept it. The climax of the 'm play follows the revelation that the 3 brother is in love with an actress. m When the young Parisian finds out M just who the actress is, there follows iB a succession of events that is bound $&& to stir any audience. $m May Buckley and J. Anthony "iiffl Smythe in the leading roles may be ;$jS expected to do superior work and they M will be strongly supported by the X other members of the Wilkes com- jjK Pany. ' ?$S 9 |
