tist, at the Walnut Street Theatre, Phila-

his presentation of 1.-THE role of "Copeau'
in the dramatization of Zola's novel,
.'L'Assomoir," he has attained the height
OF realism of the stage that has seldom
been equaled in the history of contem-
porary acting. Mr.. Warner came 10
Philadelphia practically unheralded ex-
cept as his impression upon New York
theatergoers was communicated to the
playgoers of that city. This is his first
visit ito America in a professional capacity
and his triumph has been complete. The

Of NJ. Zola, by Charles Reed. a well.
known English adapter, and IS said ito bs
