LAVISH BEAUTY IS KEYNOTE
OF THE WORLD FAMOUS
MORALITY PLAY.
i
A young and beautiful girl do
nates one kiss to he sold at auc
tion at a charity bazaar. Among
the bidders are three rivals for her
hand—a struggling young physi
cian, a professional actor, and a
millionaire. Naturally the latter
wins easily, hut the kiss does not
come up to expectations. The
young physician’s distinguished
looking mother sympathize with
him over the girl’s indifference to
his attentions. Also two stage
managers who are present offer
the girl an opportunity to become
an actress. She asks time to con
sider and that night three gril
chums are visiting her offer varied
advice.
AVill l the dawn of anew day the
story merges into symbolism.
The girl is now called Every
vvornan; her maid, Conscience, and
her best friends are Youth, Beau
ty and Modesty. To every woman
in her mirror, appears Flattery and
the character of Nobody, the ever
present, is also introduced. Flat
tery begs Everywoman to go upon
the Stage of Life and seek his mas
ter, King Love the First.
Everywoman goes to the stage
and is acclaimed a great slar al
most over night, but is menaced
hv Passion and Wealth. At first
she resists the temptations that be
set her. But mistakes Passion for
Love and allows herself to kiss
him, hut finally discovers her er
ror. She rejects Passion but. Mod
esty has left her—to become a
wandering exile. Passion prompt
ly consoles himself with the beau
tiful woman called Vice.
Passion longing for revenge has
Dissipation steal away beauty, liv
ely woman flees taking Youth and
Conscience with her. With Beau
ty gone she is no longer wanted as
a theatrical star.
Nevv Year’s eve finds Every
woman and Youth poverty strick
en wandering in the streets. Fath
er Time beckons and Youth leaves'
Everywoman forever. She tries to
sell herself for wealth hut he will
not have her now that Youth and
Beauty are gone. It is then that
Everywoman finds that Nobody is
her friend. As the chimes ring out
the New Year. Truth and Con
science leave the great church on
the other street. Falling at the
feet of Truth, Everywoman de
clares she is ready now' to follow'
her.
To the modest cottage of Truth
now journeys Everywoman and
there discovers that the young phy
sieian, the son of Truth, is the Love
for whom she has made her long
pilgrimage. Modesty, who has
been taken in and eared for by
Truth and Love, quickly recovers
and Love declares that Beauty w ill
soon he ransomed by right living.
