various Jacob Lift enterprises, has de-
cided to launch new dialect play, en-
titled "Tilly Olsen."/ Associated with
him in the enterprise is Peter Kennedy,
for many years the manager of the
Swedish play lyon Yonson." ''Tilly
Olsen" will mark an interesting de-
parture, since it introduces for the first
time in the history Of the stage a wom-

fered to Fannie Fields, who has been
favorite music hall comedienne in
London ever since she left this country,

The theatrical world is used to sur

edged that 1t is the unexpected that

Nevertheless on the first night, when
Falstaff made for the tree, hoping to

the fall of the curtain he summoned
the carpenter, and began to thunder
