"Twelfth Night"

Miss Viola Allen is to be the attraction at
the National Theater next week, appearing
as Viola in Shakespeares delightful COM
cdy, Twelfth Night This VIII be the for
NAL opening but during the present week
Miss Allen will appear in the play in sever
al preliminary performances. This plan was
found to work very well in the cases of
THE Christian" THE Palace of the King
and The Eternal City, and 1t is but natural
that she should desire to retain what proved
to be such desirable scheme. At Spring
field, Mass. on Monday evening Miss Allen
made her initial bow as Viola and accord
ing to all accounts achieved pronounced
success Her box Office triumphs with the
Hail Game plays were so extraordinary that
it was hardly thought that in the classic
drama she would be able in business way
to equal them. Considering that Shakes
peare is supposed to spell ruin in the the
alter, it is rather significant that the re-
ccipts are reported to be $1S99, nearly a
third more than the takngS in the same
playhouse in the same city when she APP
peared in The Christian" Miss Allen has
an admirable company to support her in
'Twelfth Night" Among others in the
cast are James Young, John Blair. Clarence
Handysde. Frank Currier. Scott Craven
Nora O'Brien and Zeffie Tilbury The pro-
duction is to be magnificent one. The ad-
