31 .t oA 8.15. THIS EVENING 8.15. “EUGENE ¢’BRIEN” IN 4 - Appropriate theme is that of ‘‘His Wife's Money’’ at a time when domestic relations are being more strained than ever on economic questions. [t also shows up the all-too- common selfishness of married women well off in their owp right. There are male erea- tures who do not hesitate to sacrifice personal honor aad dignity of character in order to live on wealthy wives, but they are not objects of admiration, even when they are socially tolerated. The genuine man, as impersonated by Euzene O’Briea, cannot dis- regard his protective instincts and happily subsist on ““‘His Wife’s Money.”” [t s deep in his nature to go to the front where the fighting is hardest and do his share 1a the general strugele, heaca he revolts at being a eamip follower in his own family. Such is the essence of the Selznick story. Its mood is fully appreciated by Eugene O’Brien and Zeena Keefe as the wife. Their performances are the more creditable in that they are of difficvit characterization. Their highly intelligent I.terrretations of the leading roles and the vitality of the theme make ""His Wite’s Money” u satisfactory product and a gond entertainment, Y Y’ 5 CAST.
