BESSIE BARR [SCALE—MONDAY. At the Princess Theatre on Monday evening next the luce Triangle powerful drama “Honours Alter,” will feature the eliarming actress, Bessie Bnrriscale. as the wife who had helped the man through years of poverty, only to find that when riches came he did not think her good enough, but was fascinated with society’s smart set and sought to lay a trap for her, hoping to secure a divorce. Innocence and purity are formidable bulwarks against the attacks of vice. Blended innocence has to fight against foes disguised as friends ; only a good woman could have won through. This splendid emotional drama appeals to the heart of every good man and woman. “Honors Alter” is a power drama with many poignant situations. The. climax is forceful and unusual. Winn Mallory, who has married a poor man and has helped him to rise, finds that he now thinks himself too good for her. He offers a friend, fifty thousand dollars to compromise her, so that he will have grounds for a divorce. The woman’s puerfeet purity rises triumphant.
