Show WOMEN IN THE DRAMA. Important Part the Sex Plays In Histrionic His-trionic Productions of the Day. Woman as a factor In tho drama appears to bo enlarging her sphere A glance at tho titles of tho molo-drama molo-drama now "on tho road" or being played at tho suburban theaters, shows how largo a par tho box plays on every kind of stage. "Tho Worst Woman In London" Is already familiar, famil-iar, no doubt, but there is almost as much grim significance In far less well-known tltlps, such as "Tho Way Women Lovo," "That Woman From Franco," "Ono Woman's Wickedness," Wicked-ness," "Dangerous Women" nnd others of tho same kind. It must bo admitted that In these tho balanco of Justice scarcely seems to bo on tho sldo of tho women, but a mcasuro of human kindness Is probably dealt out to them in tho drama called "When a Woman Is Married" or tho ono with tho portentlous title, "Tho Woman Wo-man Pays." It Is qulto a relief to turn from tho Buggcstlveness of theBo melodramatic probloms to tho gay Irresponsibility of what Is described des-cribed as a farcical Comedy, with tho alluring title, "What llocaino of Mrs. Racket?" |
