Belasco.

Mary Mannering brings a new play to
the Belasco Theater tomorrow night for
its first performance in this country. 1t
is THE Truants,' three-act comedy by
Wilfred T. Coleby, the piece in which
Lena Ashwell has made the success of
her career at her Kingsway Theater, Lon
don, where she has been presenting it all
the season. The fact that Miss Manner
ing has never seen Miss Ashwell's per-
formance of the leading role makes her
conception all the more interesting be-
cause she will not be hampered by the Inn
pressions OF some ones else interpreta-
tion of the part. The influence of the
London production will be felt in the
American presentation, however. on ac-
count Of the fact that the English stage
manager has come over to produce the
comedy. White Whittelsy. Robert Con-
ness. Adison Pitt. Zelda Sears, Mary Nash
and Master John Tansey have the lead
ing parts. and John MacFarlane, James
Dixon. Louise Sydneth and Irene Kings
land also have excellent roles.
Although described as a comedy, "The
Truants'' tells story Of strong dramatic
interest. Freda Savelle, played by Miss
Mannering. is engaged to marry Dick
