"VULTURES OF SOCIETY" MARVEL OF PRODUOTION Spectacular Presentation True Tale of Life Today-How Orphan Girl Wins Prince and Fortune. At Idle Hour Monday, May 22. Down deep underneath the sarface of society in the larger cities there lurks constantly an element of ro mance and intrigue more strange than any adventure in the open. In "Vul tures of Society," Essanay's latest powerful flive-act drama, the mist has been lifted from the machinations of the masqueraders in the homes of the wealthy and a realistic story of an odd phase of American life revealed. The play was produced under the direction of E. H. Calvert. While the drama Is made up of a series of amazing circumstances, there is not one scene that does not happen in everyday life. The abduction of a prince by a "so ciety thief," who is his double, and the advantage thus given this leader and his bandit band, is but one of the brilliant pieces of action, sec ondary, however, to the old trail of the boarding-school girl who turns adventuress when driven to it by her millionaire employer. But the rich vulture lives to face a greater sorrow than he ever caused his stenographer. Lillian Drew has attained a mar velous interpretation of the part of Teddy Uinns, the boarding-school girl who from stenographer leaps to the position of wealthy Spanish senorita fawned upon the society. Marguerite Clayton, as Eloise. Clever man, the unconventional daughter of the millionaire, is seen in a role which affords her ideal opportunities. E. H1. Calvert is the leader of the band of dress-suit thieves and the double of the prince. The part of the rich mierchant is played by Ernest Mau pain. ('ari front Mr.r Harris.
