JULIA MARL)WE

Miss Julia Marlowe, comes to
Polls theater this evening for a
single appearance, and for this event
Miss Marlowe has selected for pres
entation, Shakespeare's immortal
comedy, "As You Like It." Miss
Marlowe is playing an extensive
repertoire this season, and it is
matter of regret that she should be
able to appear for only a single per-
Torrance, but for this event she has
chosen, in response to numerous re-
quests, perhaps the most delightful
role of her well-filied gallery of
lovable heroines. Miss Marlowe has
not played Rosalind for a number
of seasons, except for special re-
vival of "As You Like 1t" made in
London last spring with Mr. Sothern,
when the English critics went into
raptures over her delightful portray
al Before Miss Marlowe went into
romantic drama, some seasons ago,
the most popular Offering in her
repertoire was Rosalind, and her de-
cision to again include AS You Like
1t" in her repertoire this season,
has been wise business move, for
there is not another Rosalind on the
American stage who can compare
with Julia Marlowe. FOR her ap-
pearance here she will have a strong
company, under the management of
the Messrs Shubert. Prices, soc to
