Admission 10c. 24-2t Governor Smith Against Passes Everybody concerned in the first re hearsal of “The Runaway.’' the new Billie Burke play w-hich was heart on the stage of the Lyceum Theatre last Monday, experienced some thing of a shock after the first reading of the play at the similarity between it.s story and the announced Astor-Force wedding. The subject of “The Ruu' away,” which is a ceomedy in four acts by Pierre Veber, adapted by :Mi- chael Morton, is the account of a man of fifty who proj)Oses to marry a "Irl of eighteen. The unravelling of "The Runaway” is Pierre Veber’s attempt. to tell whether such a social happen ing has any Justification. It was quite a dramatic moment when it fell to the lot of Henry Miller, .Ir.. to declaim the playwright’s preachment against such marriages. Everybody else in the company, that includes Miss Desmond Kelly, C. An brey Smith, Ivan Simpson, Edwin Ni- cander and Emily Wakeman. stood spellboimd while Mr. Miller earnest ly read his ])art as Pierre Berton, the print ijia! speech of which is levelled at the character Maurice Delonay, played by Aubrey Smith. “Yon will be fifty when you marry this giv! of eighteen.” declaimed Mr. Mille "and the year after you think you will be forty-nine an dthe follow ing year forty-eight, but you won’t You will be flfty-one years of age and the first year after your marriage and fifty-two the next year and fifty-three w hen she is barely twenty-one. It w 'il mean degradation for both of you.” The speech which' is rather long, i? a sudden dramatic turn in action that up to that moment has been lively comedy. The similarity of its prob lem to the well known society marri age about to be consumated is purely accidental, as Pierre Veber play was written over a year ago. But “The Runaway,” with its fearful indictme it against marriages between people • disproportionate ages, will be on boards and its terrific denunciation will be declaimed each night from stage of the Lyceum Theatre when the next big marriage in society, already nublished the world over, is auo-i take place. The first performance of Miss Burke’s new play will occur at Atlan tic City. Sept. 11th, after which it comes directly to New York. C. Au brey Smith, Miss Burke’s new leading man, was rushed over from London on the Mauretania especially to .join her forces. The engagement of “The Run- aw’ay” at the Lyceum Theatre follows the production of “Thy Neighbor’s Wife,” w’hich wil be produced by Dan iel Frohman Sept. 6th. OF CHARLOTTE, N. C.
