Following a week in which Miss Ethel
Barrymore was the attraction in a play
written by J. NJ. Barrie and produced by
Mr.. Charles Frohman, most anything that
could be shown would suffer by compari
son. Nevertheless. the bill this week will
not please as many persons as it should,
and it is far below the standard, despite
the efforts Of the management to keep
up the standard of excellence shown the
past few weeks
