NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Hoiiis Street THEATRE 
John Drew, the leading American 
exponent of light comedy types, may 
always be expected in one of the bril- 
liant comedies that gladden his pub- 
lic. He is playing a two weeks’ en- 
gagement at the Hollis Stareet Thea- 
‘tre in “The Perplexed Husband” by 
Alfred Sutro. This four-act comedy 
created a great sensation in London 
when it was first produced this year 
because of its satirical attack upon 
woman suffrage and the amusing sit- 
uations that arise when “the new wo- 
man” is confronted with that almost 
unknown being, “ the new man.’ 
The story has to do with a London 
tea merchant, a conventional repre- 
sentative of the upper class business 
man, who returns home after a trip 
to find his home has been turned 
topsy-turvy. During his absence, his 
wife, has become acquainted with two 
advanced thinkers, a woman who is 
jealously fighting for the rights of her 
sex, and a man proclaimed “the mas- 
ter,” who would rather lecture than 
work, 
Under their influence the wife falls 
in with a new set of ideas. No longer 
will she be a parasite. She will break 
the shackles of her sex and from now 
on be firm in her determination to 
“live her own life.” As a first step 
she does not meet her husband upon 
his arrival, and moves her personal 
belongings to a distant part of the 
house. The amazement and conster- 
nation of the husband, as portrayed by 
Mr. Drew is most amusing. The sup- 
porting cast includes Mary Boland, 
Hubert Druce, Margaret Watson, 
Nina Sevening, Alice John, Walter 
Soldering and others. 
“Tae GARDEN OF ALLAH.” 
The biggest thing scenically ever 
attempted upon a stage is what is said 
about “The Garden of Allah,” which 
will be seen at the Boston Theatre on 
Monday, January 13th, for the first 
time in this city. The play is a dra- 
matization of the novel of the same 
name by Robert Hichens. The locale 
is the desert of Sahara and its environs 
to the north. The story briefly told 
deals with a Trappist monk who be 
comes wearied of the monastery and 
yields to his natural impulses. He 
wanders off into Morocco and its en- 
virons, and at a dance hall in Biskra 
meets and falls in love with a wander- 
er like himself—but one of the female 
persuasion who confesses she is a 
gypsy. He constitutes himself her 
protector , which eventually leads to 
love and marriage. Their adventures 
in the desert and’the discovery by the

wife that her husband is a monk who 
has broken his vow to the church— 
her renunciation and his return to the 
monastery, form a story of absorbing 
interest. 
The pictures of the Orient, its cam- 
els, horses and other animals of the 
desert, its melange of Eastern peo- 
ples and Occidentals, its vision of the 
desert and its luxuriant gardens are 
fascinating, and far in advance of 
everything ever attempted heretofore 
upon the stage.
