New York to accept Shaw in this coun-
try, although Mansfield with Arms

However, Dalys Marchbanks in Can

AUDITORIUM-"F most mod
ern of the Sardou plays, drama of
intense contemporary interest, will be
staged elaborately at the Auditorium
during the coming week by the Ferris
stock company. The similarity in name
between Fedora" and Theodore"
should not confuse people, for whereas
tie one is a beautiful poetic play of
a. luity the other is modern, up to
date and handled in a manner that
makes audiences wish Sardou had de-
voted more attention to the problems
of the nineteenth century. The action
of the play revolves about the great
political troubles which have convulsed
Russia in the past half century. Miss
Florence Stone and Andrew Robson
will assume the leading roles.

among people of middle age that boys
of today are worse than the boys of
George W. Peck's younger days.
ORPHEUM-Dan Burke and six girls
