A SUCCESSFUL YOUNG STAR

Some idea of the merit of THE Power
Behind the Throne, in which Katherine
Willard is starring this season. may be
gained from the reception which has
been accorded the production wherever it
has been presented. Practically. without
exception, managers of theatres where
this drama has been presented have in
sisted upon return engagements. and in
every case where the demand has been
granted. Miss Willard and her excellent
company have been almost overwhelmed
with the warmth of their greeting. This
is not only gratifying to the young star,
but it is evidence that the theatre-going
public is quick to appreciate true merit.
There is every reason to believe that the
production Will be accorded similar treat
ment when Miss Willard plays her re-
turn engagement at the Crawford theatre
on Tuesday March Il, matinee and night
The production is sumptuOusly staged
and costumed.
