Elsie Ferguson, who proved 80
charming in Such Little Queen" a
season or so ago. has just created a
part in a new play called "The Strange
Woman" by William Hurlbut. She has
scored q tremendous success In the
leading role OF Inez de Pferrefond.
Here is how the author describes this
unique heroine: "I5er appearance is
not only beautiful, but brilliant. There
is about her the atmosphere of per-
lection, the perfection of what she
stands for-the last word Of the con-
tinentaI woman of intellect, smartness
and temperament She radiates an
exotic vitality, there Is sensuous al
lurement about her, but tempered by
intellect and underlying all her ma
ture is felt the steel of her will, that
can fuse into a white heat OF passion.
She is certain of herself, superior in
the pride of her Intelligence, yet never
because of that intelligence overbear-
ing or patronizing in manner or word.
Very feminine. plant and keen
humor and about her always, as in
tangible as an odor, the magnetism Of
her charm
All of which means that Miss Fer
guson must work very hard to meet
those many requirements.

Considering climatic conditions of
the last few days, the arrival of THE
Rainbow" at the Columbia theater
last night with Henry Miller and Miss
Ruth Chatterton was almost oppor-
tune.
himself with this new vehicle OF his.
He seems to have discovered new act
ing power in himself and he certainly
has discovered a most charming young
actress in Miss Chatterton.
HEART INTEREST PREDOMNATEs
"The Rainbow is styled a comedy
by the author. but 1t. does not seem
appropriate to call this delicate bit of
There are some big moments in The
Rainbow" but not the big moments
usually designated as having "a
punch" If there is any punch" it is
play, so admirably brought out by
Mr.. Miller and Miss Chatterton.
1t is the charm of simplicity that
makes the whole thing so appealing
to the heart and eye. From the rise Of
the first curtain it moves along with
the quietness of deep stream in some
sheltered wood. Your interest is quick
ened from the start and held until the
final curtain.
In many parts of the action, prin-
cipally in the first act, you find your
self carried away with the delightful
episode scenes between Mr.. Miller and
MissaChatterton. In sense they seem
a1most irrelevant to the main action.
but the authors purpose was to demon
strate the spell that Cynthia was cast
ing over her father-the spell that
was to make their parting at the end
of act two so poignant and tear COM
polling.
STARS MOST EFFECTIVE ROLE
It was in this scene that Mr.. Miller
did his most effective work 1t was
a noticeable departure from the usual
noisy, emotional climax that mars
many otherwise effective plays. Gym
thia, the daughter that has come into
his life and rekindled it, is about to
go on visit to her mother. She is
going for good. but believes that the
trip is only to be for two days. Her
father is choking with grief, but tries
to fight down the tears that force
their way into his eyes. Every look
and every word that Cynthia utters
makes 1t harder for him to let her go.
Sensing that something is wrong,
Cynthia herself is 10th to leave. but
her father, unable to bear the strain
longer, literally forces her to start
on her journey. AS the door closes
upon Cynthia he breaks down and
sobs out the bitterness of his heart.
AS the curtain falls he is leaning
against the door panel. shaking with
sobs and stamping his foot in inn
potent protest. Mr.. Miller's portrayal
of the father. Nell Sumner. is one Of
the most effective roles he has ever
played.
sPARKLES WITH WIT
Miss Chatterton as Cynthia radiates
q naive charm. She never loses the
naturalness that makes her 80 win
some Her simple, straightforward
ness strikes directly at the heart and
makes you love her.

brought with The Rainbow Is =
