An All-Star Cast in 1.-TWO Orphans. ="
The gathering Of so many noted play
ers into a single troupe was a foregone
success, and the great New Amster-
dam is now holding audiences such as
had not gathered there until Mansfield
arrived And the wonder is that they
do not seem interested in the people

sollloquies. But the secret lies just

The drama was built along vigorous
lines, lines dependent on action rather
than words TO bring them out. There
IS always something for the people out
