Miss Grace George, who begins a
weeks engagement at the National Thea
ter tomorrow night In Clothes" has in
the character Of Olivia Sherwood role
that is said to be admirably suited to
the actress. Some of her admirers say It
is unquestionably the best part she has
had since she began her career. The piece
was written by Claiming Pollock, for
mer Washington newspaper man, who
successfully dramatized THE Pit" In
the Bishops Carriage" and other we'll
known productions, and Avery Hopwood,
a Cleveland newspaper man. The story
is that of an orphan girl brought up as an
heiress, but left by her father with
small income In the care Of lawyer,
friend Of her father and sort of in
formal guardian She trusts his guardian
implicitly, but he is really a villain, who
advances himself the money she supposed

had intended to wed, though she honestly
loves him. But the estrangement of the
lovers Is ended in rather a novel scene
and all ends happily. The dialogue Is
said TO be epigrammatic and its pictures

German way Of deml-deifying a man.

whom he staged Ibsen's "Rosmersholm''
at the Pergola Theater, in Florence, and
has been engaged 10 provide with sym

the great Italian actress. Here are some
keynote remarks from Mr.. Craig on his
new way of looking at stage setting
Realism has long ago proclaimed itself

things of life and death. the two subjects

whereas art Is revelation. Let us
leave period and accuracy OF detail to
the museums and 20 the curiosity shops.
Let our common sense be left in the

We need here our finer senses only, the
living part of us" This has enough of
the specious ring Of some sort Of sense
about IT, enough OF the suggestion Of
thought and the promise of accomplish
ment. TO insure a vogue for the new ex-
pertinent in stage setting. 1t is the art
nOuveau' movement applied in a fresh
field, no doubt-a slight reaction from the
excessive and relentless realism Of the
present era of gorgeous stage decoration
The first onset of the new fad on our
stage will be watched for with interest.
