st. Elmo" that famous novel of tie
Southland, is to be presented here May
7, by a carefully selected company. for
which a most brilliant tour is in
progress. The dramatization is by Miss
Grace Hayward, who first offered the
play to please thousands in a few
middle western cities during the sum
mel. Its success was instantaneous.
and it appears that this popular actress
playwright has supplied ''St. Elmo
with new charm in transferring it to
The stage. The romance. perhaps stilted
in form compared with the novel Of
today. has enjoyed widespread popu-
larity, which has by no means faded,
as any librarian can testify.
One of the events of note in theatrical
circles this season was the appearance
of Miss Grace Hayward in her OWL
dramatiaztion of St. Elmo" the famous
novel of a generation or two ago, and
which is still in steady demand by the
fiction readers of today. The play was
received with striking cordiality and
with succeeding appearances it's popu-
larity grew so steadily that a special
company has now been formed to pre-.
sent it on a tour of the middle west.
''St. Elmo as every household in
which it has been read can easily
imagine, lends itself i'll every way tc
a strong stage story. Miss HAYWARD il
said to have impaired the thrill, the
absorbing interest of this Southland tale
