The independents are evidently de-
termined TO get into the Washington
game at an carly date this season, and
get In strong. For the week of Septem-
Der Il they announce Margaret Anglin
in THE Great Divide" a new drama
by William Vaughn Moody which has
been staged by the masterhand OF
Henry Miller. The play is a love drama,
IN which two very positive natures are
in conflict The first two acts repre-
sent a picturesque section of southern
Arizona, the third a quiet town IN
Massachusetts. The company is said
10 be the strongest that has ever sup
ported her. Miss Anglin made a deep
impression on the theateT-EOing public
last year. Her performance in "Zira"
stamped her as one OF the foremost
American actresses. Her new play, de-
clares her management, is entirely
worthy OF her talents. We sincerely
hope so. IL would be a pity to follow
up "Zira" with anything but a play Of
the first water.
Miss Anglin Is followed by Virginia
