’’SHALL WE FORGIVE HER?”
Will bs Presented at the Academy of Must
Tonight.
Marie Wainwright will begin her en
gagement at the .Academy of Music to
night in the new English play “Shall We
Forgive Her’' which was flrist produced
in this country at the Fourteenth street
| theater, New York. It was originally .pro
duced at the Adelphi theatre, London,
■ where it mande an instantaneous bit, ft
' hag since repeated its London success in
New York, Boston, Chicago, Denver, San
i Francisco and in all the other prominent
■ American cities and is everywhere spoken
of as a drama of remarkable power. The
engagement of that able actress Marie
Wainwright for the leading role has at
tracted considerable attention and excited
no little comment. Mies Wainwright has
been so long a popular star in another
field of the drama that one is at first
scarcely prepared for the announcement
that she has determined to forsake Shake
speare and Sheridan for melodrama, but
such is the case. It is mauy years since
Miss Wainwright depicted the joys and
| sorrows of a melodramatic heroine, but
she has lost none of her old fire and emo
tional ability. She is an actress of marked
intelligence and quiet force and her name
at the head of the cast of “Shall We For
give Her” will raise the performance
above the ordinary level. The piece tells
a perfectly clear and straightforward story
j from the start with little or no extraneous
' matter, and while it concerns an unfortu

nate woman, she can hardly be called, in
the light of justice and the higher moral
law, a guilty one. Her sin, if sin it was,
was not voluntary, and when she sees a
chance to escape from a life she abhors,
and from the man with whom circum
stances has forced her her to live, she
eagerly seizes it, and later, in the sanc
tioned marriage and a good man's love,
thinks to forget the past forever. She
lacks the moral courage, however, to con
fess the fault to her husband and in due
course of time he learns of it through an
other and repudiates her. The whole in
terest of the story then hinges op the
question whether he will forgive 'her,
knowing that her past was not of her own
making and that he cannot crush his love
for her. The dramatist answers the ques
tion in away that compassion and justice
requiree it should be answered—-by bring
ing about a reconciliation between hus
band and wife over the form of their in
nocent child. He makes his heroine plain
ly a victim rather a sinner, and her later
conduct and development of character show
that in spite of everything her innate
purity of nature has not been defiled.
Though essentially a problem play of the
pure sort, the moralizing is of an almost
•unobtrusive kind, and what Tittle preach
ing there is is confined almost entirely to
the last act. Miss Wainwright is said to
be supported by an able company.
