Charles Frohman will present Miss Ethel
Barrymore at Boyd's theater on Tuesday,
May II, and. Wednesday, May IL, In her
new play, Lady Frederick" a comedy in
three acts by w. Somerset Vaughan, the
author of Jack Straw Penelope" Mrs.
Dot and other plays. This promises to be
an event Of exceptional interest. In Lady
Frederick" Miss Barrymore has achieved
a brilliant success. 1t is doubtful IL she
has even been seen to better advantage
than as Lady Frederick B~erolles, the at
~tractive Irish widow, who is the heroine Of
the play. Lady Frederick Is one of those
irresistible, pretty women who, through
the force of their own personality, make
the people about them obey their every
wish. She is the widow OF an Irish noble
man and is living far beyond her means,
Lady Frederick occupies the most expensive
suite Of rooms at the fashionable Hotel
Splendide in Monte Carlo and her gowns
are the latest word from Rue de la Paix,
but her creditors are lmportunate and will
not be put off. A certain young nobleman,
with 5000 pounds a year to his name, is
infatuated with Lady Frederick. She, now
ever, has q fondness for his uncle, Para
dine Fouldes, a man of the world. Through
her art Lady Frederick succeeds in dis
illusionizing the young man and in the end
accepts the hand Of his uncle. The creditors
are paid. her brother is married off to a
charming girl, several suitors are dis
missed and all ends happily for those
chiefly concerned. Mr.. Vaughan, who Is
easily the most successful English drama
list Of the day, has done his best work IN
Lady Frederick" and has supplied Miss
Barrymore with a role that suits her
admirably. The three acts of the
play are laid at Monte Carlo at the pres
ent day. Charles Frohman makes an ex-
ceptionally beautiful production of Lady
Frederick" and has surrounded Miss
Barrymore with a company of rare merit
that includes Bruce McRae, Norman
Tharp, Charles Hammond, Arthur Elliot,
Orlando DAILY, James Kearney, ]. Cross
ney Davidson. L.. c.. Howard, Jessie Mill
ward, Vira Stowe, Anita Rothe and
Mariana Thurber.
