OTIS SKINNER. WEBER & FIELDS AND MARION HARRIS COMING 0 kr. hopwood on fin ERICAN WII/ES Author of Dramatic Preach¬ ment, "Why Men Leave Home," Draws Distinction Between Ideal Wife and Type He Hits on Stage. (rtlTHKX I chose for n>v new \f\ est play the huIO'11''. » * 'Why Men he a v <. Home,' I reuli>cd that, in the Ian* guage of thi- classics. I might lie 'atarting aomethlng,' especially when I revealed that, in my opin¬ ion, many American mtii leave their home* because their wives force them to do HO." deposes Avery Hopwood. "I wish it clear- ly understood, however, that 1 am not bringing such an accusation against American wive* in general. The majority of American women make the liest pals and helpmates that a man can have. Hut there Is a select but spectacular minority, who belong to a species that 1 have -Jiristened 'The (Sreat American Z."a; J»ecause you don't find any¬ thing just like them in other coun¬ tries. And the reason you don't is that you don't find the men who would be foolish enough to put up With them. "Why do inen leave home? I think that in many canes It is be¬ cause their wives leave home first and stay awav so long that their husbands, haven't any homes to leave. Or clue, when this type of woman does stay home, she injects so much jazz, spirit into the home* life that the husband goes away Just to get a rest. .'I have always been a believer in woman's rights and ( have only admiration for the modern wife in so far as she is truly modern .the economically ind"pendent rrtner of a fifty-fifty marriage, don't believe that a woman's only place is in the home. "I believe in the American wife in business, in politics or in any professional or artistic career which she chooses to follow and Which contributes something con¬ structive and vital to the world. She is, I repeat, playing fair.. "But the woman whom I have called "The Great American Wife." and who seems to me increas¬ ingly numerous in large sections of our society. Is neither one of these types. This type of wife is the parasite type. She won't have children. She travels so much that if she ever had an in¬ fant it' would have to be born at a house-party or on an ocean liner. She won't stay in her honte long enough to n it a real one. She makes her husband wait on her hand and foot. She demands rill the monry that he can make -md Is impatient with him because he can't make more. She »r>enda her summers abroad and her winters at Palm Beach or California, while hubby stays at home trying to make more money for her to squander." PALACE.

WII/ESAuthor of Dramatic Preach¬

ment, "Why Men LeaveHome," Draws DistinctionBetween Ideal Wife and

Type He Hits on Stage.(rtlTHKX I chose for n>v new

\f\ est play the huIO'11''.» * 'Why Men he a v <.

Home,' I reuli>cd that, in the Ian*guage of thi- classics. I might lie'atarting aomethlng,' especiallywhen I revealed that, in my opin¬ion, many American mtii leavetheir home* because their wivesforce them to do HO." deposesAvery Hopwood. "I wish it clear-ly understood, however, that 1 amnot bringing such an accusationagainst American wive* in general.The majority of American womenmake the liest pals and helpmatesthat a man can have. Hut there Isa select but spectacular minority,who belong to a species that 1 have-Jiristened 'The (Sreat AmericanZ."a; J»ecause you don't find any¬thing just like them in other coun¬tries. And the reason you don't isthat you don't find the men whowould be foolish enough to put upWith them."Why do inen leave home? I

think that in many canes It is be¬cause their wives leave home firstand stay awav so long that theirhusbands, haven't any homes toleave. Or clue, when this type ofwoman does stay home, she injectsso much jazz, spirit into the home*life that the husband goes awayJust to get a rest.

.'I have always been a believerin woman's rights and ( have onlyadmiration for the modern wifein so far as she is truly modern.the economically ind"pendent

rrtner of a fifty-fifty marriage,don't believe that a woman's

only place is in the home."I believe in the American wife

in business, in politics or in anyprofessional or artistic careerwhich she chooses to follow andWhich contributes something con¬structive and vital to the world.She is, I repeat, playing fair.."But the woman whom I have

called "The Great American Wife."and who seems to me increas¬ingly numerous in large sectionsof our society. Is neither one ofthese types. This type of wifeis the parasite type. She won'thave children. She travels so

much that if she ever had an in¬fant it' would have to be born ata house-party or on an ocean liner.She won't stay in her honte longenough to n it a real one. Shemakes her husband wait on herhand and foot. She demands rillthe monry that he can make -mdIs impatient with him because hecan't make more. She »r>enda hersummers abroad and her wintersat Palm Beach or California, whilehubby stays at home trying tomake more money for her tosquander."
