The Orpheum Dramatic Stock Company
at the Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadel-
phia, will present a revival of Lady
Windermere's Fan" Apart from the
moral which Lady Windermere's Fan"
holds out to every intelligent mind, the
play is an interesting one from several
other viewpoints. 1t is serious play and
extremely epigrammatic. 1t teens with
cynicisms and brilliant comment upon
love, matrimony, divorce and life in
general. The story 1t reveals is an absorb
ing one and in parts intensely dramatic.
1t reflects English society as it appeared
to Oscar Wilde, the author of the play.
The entire story as revealed in the play is
fascinating one can be thoroughly APP
preciated and enjoyed by all. Josephine
Lovett will play Lady Windermere" and
Mr.. Ingersoll will be seen as her husband.
The important part of the mother, Mrs.
Erlynne," Will be assumed by Leah Win
slow. Helen Reimer, Evelyn Francis,
Robert Cummings, Fred Sumner, Har-
mon MacGregor, Mark Price and the
other members of the company will have
equally important roles. Stage Director
Harry McRae Webster promises splendid
production. which Is expected to compare
favorably with the one in which Blanche
Walsh appeared several years ago.
