Valerie West.. The reasoning powers of the young woman in the case, whose m'nd is filled with false ideas regarding the marriage state, and exalted character of the artist, whose .noble manhood finally wins the girl over to his way of think ing, have been discussed in innumer able households and In all probability no other book characters have ever made a stronger appeal to general humanity than have. the creations of the author . of "The Common Law." .The producer Is a . past master in the art of presenting book' plays and it would seem that he has taken spe cial .-pains in order that Mr. Cham bers' novel should become a play of enduring fame. With this object in view he has been- most lavish- in his expenditures towards providing a pro duction of the highest order, not for getting to Include - all the articles of furniture and furnishings used for the purpose of insuring perfect real ism, r ; He has also taken great care so that the cast might bring out in telligently all of the finer points con tained in a story fraught with many sided Interests.
