her genius. Certainly she endows
the chief role In THE Case OF
Becky" with great charm and girl
ishness and with true artitry. Hers
is the difficult task of representing
two different characters embodied
in the one persona role of dual
personality.
As dorothy, Miss Starr is Iowa.
bible, intellectual. refined, pure
minded and good; in her other per
|sonality, which is the Becky prin-
cipie in her, she is vicious, cumming.
a creature OF malice, hating Dorothy
with an intense hatred, always play
ing tricks upon her, and in short,
doing all she can to humiliate and
hurt her.
The play grips. 1t is a play Of
the sort that makes men in the au-
dience clutch the arms of their seats
and makes women clench their lists
tightly. There are times when ev-
cry man and woman in the audience
longs for an opportunity to choke
Balzamo, the hypnotist; other times
when there is lump in the throat
through the seemingly utter hope
lessness OF Dorothy's situation, un-
der the baleful influence of ner
Tfiendish foster father. Every mo-
ment of the time the play holds the
attention of the audience by reason
of is theme and the unusual manner
in which the story is treated.
Dorothy is beautifu1fy interpreted.
Sweet, naive and with infinite charm,
she seems suchia helpless little girl,
against the background of the awful
fate that threatens her like a shad-
ow, drawing her more tightly day by
day into its clutches. 1t is pitiful
but winning fight that she makes, a
fight so poignant in its pathos as to
make every one in the audience wish
they might help her. As the mis-
chevious Becky, Miss Starr gives a
realistic picturelof the type she rep
resents.
Mr.. Belasco has seen to it that
Miss Starr has notable support.

far a larger attendance than last

may open up to them.
