OF all other actresses in its rare truth to
nature. Her Camille is not confined to the
limits of a single city She has made the
character more universal more human.
Buse is not strikingly beautiful i'll face or
figure. Her face is almost plain, and in
her movements there are none of the grace
ful, sinuous, gliding movements of Bern
hardt. And yet Buses face strikes you at
once. When you look at those wonderful
eyes OF hers-and above all, when you seeher
in profile, listening silently to some con-
yersation in which she is painfully inter
ested. you get the full sense OF the strength
OF her genius and her mastery OF all your

Mr.. Grupdy became famous through the
advent OF the PROBLEM Play" When
that style of entertainment first became
fashionable Mr.. Grundy rose to fame be-
cause he profited by the change in public
opinion and wrote what the public wanted.
"Sowing the Wind" is his best effort and
has become world famous. because OF the
'sex against SEX question the author
treated in such mastery manner.
Judged from the purely financial stand
point--whch, after all, i'll these days OF
utilitarianism, is the managers best and
sureSt criterion of succeSS--the play has
been verttable triumph, both for Mr..
Frohnan andafthe distinguished social
