cesses. "The Nancy Hanks" There has
never been an American comedienne
with quite so many fascinations as
Marie Jansen. To begin with her fig
ure is perfect, her face beautiful in a
racy, piquant expressiveness, and her
intelligence of that keen, brilliant and
magnetic energy imperative in wit and
the rolicking drive Of real comedy
Miss Jansen could play with surprising
vigor and delicacy the heroines Of
Shakespeare and the classics Her sue
cesses are without number except to
list her attempted parts. She stepped
from comic opera In America to legiti-
mate comedy in England with the Sc
renest tenure of attained and promised
laurels. Jansen" was the English
fashion Just as she has been the Ameri.
can. and the smart gowns which she
has designed and imported for "lhe
Nancy Hanks" will be more admired
and copied than those of any other ac-
tress who will visit this city this sea-
son. Miss Jansen will appear in "The
Nancy Hanks" at the Grand Opera
