SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1914 THE KINSTON FREE PRESS SEVEN NEW MELODRAMA OF A NIGHTMARE- PRODUCING Mighty Good Moral in Play, What It Means to A Woman RITA JOUVET THE STAR Sordid piay Recently Offer ed in New (York Draws a Strong Picture of Modern Conventionalities in the Middle Classes By Beau Rialto (Written for the United Press) New York, Dec. 5. It isn't so much what it means to a woman as it is what it means to the husband and the whole fabric of society that is so well portrayed in the nightmare-producing mclo drama, "What It Means In a Woman," which recently opened at the Longacre Theatre. Despite the sonlidness of the play there is a mitrhty good moral appended, and a mighty pood picture drawn of present day conventionalities in middle and upper-middle class society. A modern girl brought up in the modern way, is half way in love with a young physician. She fears, how over, that his professional duties will keep him away from her too much, so she marries a "business man." Her husband's pursuit of the dollar, she soon learns, leaves her very much to herself, so she plunges into a whirl of bridge parties, poker parties and afternoon dance affairs. Enter the insidious cocktail and the inspiring highball. It gets so that no party is complete without these accessories. Everybody drinks and they don't stop at at one or two. As the limit is raised in the number of drinks, so it is boosted in the card games, and as the money limit goes higher, the drink limit is also raised. Finally the young wife becomes a dipsomaniac if it was a working wo man's case, the doctors would call it just a plain case of drunkenness. She has to take treatment and falls in liva.with her doctor, who fails to re spond. He sends the woman to his camp in the Adirondacks where she 3 M: -as. .r y 1 aj S 134 ; North Queen Street.

He goes to the mountain lodge and angers her by telling her that he has fixed It up with the hus band who will soon be there. Incensed at the doctor, the wife drinks deeply from a flask of brundv a friend has left and when the hus band arrives, she is back where she was before the treatment. She dies in a drunken rage in the presence of her husband and physician. Sounds pretty sordid, but the nct- ing of Rit Jolivet. as the wife. i. su perb and much of this sonlidness is missing.

"Stop the mill that grinds to death the women and gills of the street," will be the de mand mode upon the Illinois legisla ture this winter by a delegation of Chicago clubwomen. Abolishment of the system of fin- ng women of tne underworld wnen they are brought into police court will go a long way toward "stopping the mill," the clubwomen declare.

The delegation that will go to Springfield to work for the legisla tion will be headed by Miss Kte Ad ams, superintendent of Coulter House, a home for girls.

C, Dec. 5. Army and navy officers are guarding their utterances in regard to the war with the greatest care. To get an offic ial opinion on the lessons being taught or the conduct of the respect ive forces is impossible. Despite this, the matter o fgreatest interest in mili tary cItIos here today is the con flict in Europe. Naturally private conversations have not been stopped and the general trend of feeling in the army and navy is well known. Ties of blood count for a great deal and this influences sentiment even in the army, where the majority is hoping for a German victory. To officers and men the German army has been regarded throughout their experience as the last word in mili tary advancement. Most soldiers be lieve that a large and highly efficient army is the best insurance in which any nation can invest. In consequence they favor the policy which Germany represents in this war. And what the German army has been to our soldiers the British navy has been to our sailors. Sentiment in navy circles undoubtedly is with Great Britain and her allies. Two years is the maximum esti mate fcr the duration of the war. That is may end very much sooner is admitted probable. All calculations have to take into account the many uncertain factors which may influence the results. Just at present the Turks and the Moslems in general are looked upon as furnishing a very uncertain factor. If Turkish pressure should become sufficiently strong to cause Why not order now instead of putting it off until the last minute. It will save both of us a lot of inconvenience.

Russia to withdraw some of her troops engaged in the invasion ti eastern Germany, then greater forces could be hurled by Germany against the allies' lines in Belgium and France. Determined activity on the part of Mohammedan people may prevent England and France as well from concentrating all their forces in Eu rope. Turgish activity may cause Italy to join with the allies and may force some of the Balkan states into the struggle on the opposite side. It seems to be the concenus of opin ion among army and navy men here that the battle line will have to be carried far into Germany before the forces of the Kaiser will agree to peace on disadvantageous terms. They are just as sure that there will be no giving in on the part of the allies un til England itself is invaded. The Prseident continues to hold the idea that any offer to mediate at this stage of the war would be offensive to ull the belligerents and would be productive of far more harm than good. His principal energies are now directed towards making this country truly, as well as nominally, neutral. WHY THEY RECOMMEND FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR P. A.
