"Mercenary Mary "
VERY piquant is the scene m "Mercenary Mary," m which Elsie Prince (Mary) makes an honest endeavor to compromise herself so that her husband may get a divorce. He leaves her m a flat with the man who is to be the co-respondent. The idea is that he is to surprise them later m the evening. But just as he is departing, he reminds her that she is a respectable married woman. "Yes," she replies; "but to-night I shall try my best to forget it." All, of course, ends happily — m the most decorous way — except that m the developments that ensue the audience is convulsed with laughter — as it should be.
