COMING ATTRACTIONS

BELASCO-Anthony Hopes fascinating
romantic play, "The Adventures of Lady
Ursula" will occupy the attention of the
Belasco players this week and for the
first time in her professional career Lii
Ian Albertson will have chance to don
boys garb It's a fine role for a clever
actress and Miss Albertson ought to
make a charming picture in the costume
of the Hope heroine. The piece was first
made use of in the east by E. H. Sothern
and Virginia Harmed. and has always
been regarded as a splendid companion
play to the same authors 1.-THE Prisoner
of Zenda." Indeed in ."The Adventures
of Lady Ursula" one finds much of the
same atmospheric charm that made
"Zenda" such a tremendously popular
play. Hobart Bosworth Adele Earring
ton, Eleanor Carey Harry Glazier, John
Daily Murphy, Howard Scott, William
Yerance and the others of the Belasco
organization will have parts in which
their individual talents will have a good
chance for exploitation.
Observation-Disclosures Chaplin as Abra-
ham Lincoln in the one-act drama by
Mr.. Chaplin entitled "In the White
House." is the headline attraction at the
Orpheum for the coming week. This
study of Lincoln is the outcome of many
years careful and reverential study In
attempting the impersonation of Lincoln
Mr.. Chaplin has had the advice and criti-
cism of men who heard the president use
words quoted in the act or had seen
him in situations similar to those pre-
sented. Yet Mr.. Chaplin says that he ap-
preached the matter with great hesi-
fancy, not being certain how the nation
that looks upon Lincoln as a martyred
hero would regard the daring effort.
Many who saw the act at its first ap-
pearance had known the president and
without exception they were moved to
intense emotion by the realism of Mr..
Chapins characterization.
