Thackeray Il was who once wrote
that 1.-The prettier a woman's stockings

opinion that can only be properly de-
cided by woman jury as to whether
green silk stockings may come within
the category OF pretty. 1t Is quite GER
tain, however, that Margaret Anglin,
the wearer of the hose of verdant hue,
has troubles enough with her Green
stockings. In the play of that name by

Play Not Quite
Worthy of Actress.
In the effervescence of Miss. Anglin's
new play comedy Is seen almost at it's
best, yet one cannot help wishing, some
how. that she had been given a play
more in keeping with her grace. her
Celtic wit. the winsomeness Of her
rare charm, her far-reachinR and illu-
minating personality. In the past the
theater-going public has looked for
something unusual, something more

BILLIE BURKE IN
THE RUNAWAYS' IS
PRONOUNCED HIT
National Theater Audience
Gives This Actress a Cen
Il erous Reception.

Billie Burke, as Colette, the simple
village lass. who ran away from her
maiden aunts In France, found welcome
IN the hearts of the National Theater
audience last night. This was evil
denced. not only by the spontaneous
applause. but by the bouquets, which
were tossed over the footiights at the
end of the third act
The Runaways." Michael Morton's
comedy adapted from the French, in
which Miss Burke is starring, is ad-
mirably adapted to her. The general
effect of her presence from her first
appearance as winsome girl until
she finds herself In full womanhood at
the end Of the play, produces admira-
ton.
The story Is that of simple girl, who
lives In little country town with two
aunts. a girl whose spirits shock the
community. Her aunts seek to correct
her. and try to marry her to country
man who is half witted. On the eve Of
the betrothal, she fees to Paris to the
studio or an artist, who has spent the
summer with her aunts, and has fired
fist.
The way in which she plays her part
and wins the admiration of the artist
makes a pretty story. G. Aubrey Smith.

dramatic power not before evidenced In
her acting.
