BELAsco PRESENTS NEW
LEADING WOMAN TONIGHT

Another leading woman in the person
of Blanche Stoddard will have a chance
to become a local favorite tonight when
the Belasco companys new feminine head
will make her first appearance. The We
hicle selected for the introduction of Miss
Stoddard is Maxine Elliott's famously
successful comedy, Her Own Way"
While no great demands will be made on
Miss Stoddards talents as an emotional
actress, she will have a chance to wear
some elaborate dresses, display her abili-
ties as a coincidence and do some unusu-
ally telling sentimental work.
For the exhibition of her stronger pow
ers she will have to wait for a later OPP
portunity, perhaps in 1.-THE Primrose
Path" or "The Shulamite," two plays that
tax the emotional powers of the best act
resses of the day.
Miss Stoddard comes from New York,
where she has been playing with Marga-
ret Anglin and Nine. ALA Nazimova, the
famous Russian actress, with decidedly
enviable reputation as player of undis-
puted worth, and there is every reason to
believe that she will quickly establish her
self as a prime favorite with the Belasco
audiences.
Besides the appearance of Miss Stoddard
tonights performance of "Her Own Way
will be notable because it will mark the
initial appearance of the new ingenue,
Violet Rand, and the reappearanace of
Lewis S. Stone and Richard Vivian, pair
of Belasco actors who are uncommonly
popular with the clientele of the theater
Lewis Stone will find his big opportunity
a week from tonight, when he will be
called upon to play William Gillette's
original role in j. M. Barrie's delightful
fantasy "The Admirable Crichton."

rooms were entered and much clothing
taken. Here, as in the other places,
more valuable property could have been
carried off, but was not touched
