the first time in Washington. 1t Is said
that the author. Miss Rachel Crothers.
has made the leading role a type of young
woman who possesses strength of Will
ard its concomitant, the ability of self
sacrifice for the good Of others. The
force Of this playwright. in her ability to
create an illusion by homely little
touches. are said to make "MyselfBet-
tina interesting. The story of the play
shows that it is not the girl who PUSHES
into the mad world who is imperiled. but
the one who stays at home. chafing under
the dullness of life in a small town and
under the restraint OF rigid living.
Bettina. an orphan, raised in New
England village. inherttS enough money
to permit her going to Paris for four
years to crafty her ambition for musical
study. Her half-sister. Mamie. remains
al home in family that includes John
Marshall. boyhood lover of Bettina, and
his younger brother.
During Bettinas absence in Europe
John Marshall enters the ministry. and it
is to a household dominated not only by
his ideas. but by the narrow code of social
and religious ethics. that flourish in coun-
try villages I'm New England. that Bettina

over BettinaS radiant beauty. Is In honor
bound to marry her sister. and that Ma
mic, despite the narrowness OF the path
she treads in the minister's home. has
strayed from its confines, that Bettina
learns the lesson OF self-sacrifice.
Taking the broken-hearted girl to her
heart, Bettina agrees to send Mamie to
Paris In her stead. where she can forget
the miseries of the past and begin life
anew. This is the serious side Of the play.

An experienced. closely observing
