"Men and Women" at the Bungalow,
The famous DeMille and Belasco play,
"Men and Women," will be 'revived this
week by Baker Stock company, at the
Bungalow, starting this afternoon. This
is a 'play which the favorite stock com
pany Is specially well suited to pre
sent, being ;of' the order of the Fitch
and Henry Arthur Jones dramas of
high-life in which intensity of situa
tions and climaxes abound, a,nd tn
which the comedy -is natural and clean
cut. A splendid triumvirate of names
la the three great DeMille and Belasco
successes of 15 or 20 years ago, ' 'The
Charity Ball." "She Wife." and "Men
and Women," which swept the country
like a whirlwind In theatricals at that

and In s frensy of fear of exposure and
ruin, ' permits . the blame to fall upon
his - young assistant until such a' time
as the crisis actually arrives, when his
better nature is aroused and he con
fesses; The events leading up to the
end are fraught with supreme interest,
the Characters act bo naturally and the
comedy element Is no . clean and spon
taneous that nothing la left to be da-,
sired. Tne Belasco genius is every
where prevalent The popular members
of the Baker company, with MUs Jewell
and Mr. Ayres In the leading roles, are
all splendidly cast in. this, one of the
foremost stock plays of the day, The
