John J. Carniol's "Who Shall Condemn" seems to suit the Victoria audience to a T. The playlet contains the gambler villain, the reformed gambler husband and the wife who once involved with the gambler. Neither the wife or husband delved into each others past, and after years of marriage the gambler appears on the scene. The gambler is in need of money and seeks out his old time crony for help. Spying the wife, a scene takes place between the gambler and his one time mistress. The husband enters, learns about his wife's past and shows her the door. She starts forth, but hubby regrets his harsh words and asks her to remain, saying he forgives all. This last speech turns on the full wrath of the wife, who asks what he has to forgive. Did he not preach "equality" before their marriage? When the first test came, he failed to stand by his colors. She was the one who should do the forgiving and he the supplicant. He then pleads. All is forgiven as the curtain falls on a picture of husband and wife clasped in each other's arms.
Miss Morris is an actress who knows the full value of dramatics and makes the most of them. She gave a performance of the wife that was beyond remarkable. She only needs a role that will allow her to showcase this talent. The principal need of the playlet is that of an actor who can reach the heights demanded of the role of the husband, which Walter Hitchcock did not. Arthur Hoops did fairly well in the ungrateful part of the gambler.
