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 r i[ ("tti te I ill! BP * 'i ft IbifWw Wwi ■j i. ■ Jhl Mwr WMisJte? ■ I'UI Jr WF- M a ISfi ' I - - -- -. - - - ■ i 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. Dressed chickens and fiine Georgia and Western meats for the holiday trade at W. L. Henry & Co. THE ROSSER MURDER. By Associated Press.
