L. at N

-"Julie Bonbon" created a flu
rore in New York last season during
its six months sojourn in the metropo-
lis. She is the creation of Miss Lip
man, who appears in the title role The
part enacted by Louis Mann is that of
her father, dissipated old boulevadier.
1t is the eoncensus of opinion of New
York s critics that, as the old Partisan,
Louis Mann is seen to greater and bet
ter advantage than ever before. rms
is saying great deal as he has long
been regarded as one of America S
foremost character actors.-Auditorium
Friday, Oct. 5.
Both Louis Mann and Clara Lip
man, although identified with several
metropolitan successes during the past
decade were never satisfied and spent
several small fortunes for plays that
they never produced. Playwrights We're
unable to suit them and it remained
for Miss Lipman to fit Mr.. Mann with
the greatest role this famous character
actor has ever portrayed. The part Mr..
Mann enacts is that of Jean Poujol,
bibulous and impecunious Frenchman
in Julie Bonbon, Miss Lipman s maiden
effort. This delightful and positively
brilliant comedy enjoyed six months
soiourn in New York and would have
remained at Field S theatre until mid
summer but for the fact that the play
house changed owners.-Auditorium
