"The Toast of the Town"

Viola Allen will present her latest sue
cess. Clyde Fitch's play, THE Toast of the
Town." at the National Theater next week.
Miss Allen, according to all accounts. has
been provided with a role-that of Betty
Sing1eton-in the portrayal of which she
has achieved decided triumph The in
sistence with which Miss Allen reaps sue
cess, year after year, proved two things
rather conclusively: First, her undoubted
Judgment in the selection of plays, and,
secondly. her ability and popularity as an
actress. 1t is not at all likely that Miss
Allen would have given over her plan of
continuing in Shakespearian roles were 1t
not that Mr.. Fitch's play, when 1t came
to hand. appealed to her as work of
special merit. The success of the play in
other cities has been notable. The sup
porting company, including Isabel Irving,
is of the first quality, and the production
is described as novel and artistic.
