Allegorical Spectacle Pre-
sented by Company of
Nearly ITO Persons,

..Everywoman," the widely discussed
allegorical spectacle. which was writ
ten by. the late Walter Browne. who
spent ten years in the creation Of this,
his master-work. only to die upon the
morning Of the day when 1t was given
its first public performance. will begin
a weeks engagement at the Beiasco to-
'.Everywoman's' s. fame has been world
wide since 1t was seen here two years
ago. 1t made theatrical history IN New
York and is now a sensation at the
Drury. Lane 1neater in London. The
play Is given in five canticles or acts,
and one of these takes place on Broad
way. New York, at midnight on New
Year Eve. The company OF nearly Ia
persons, is in this scene, which has
become world famous.
The incidents of the story of Every
woman" might be called an admixture
OF the symbolic and actual. 1t may be
considered an aflegory, as modern
drama, as grand opera. Its story is
dramatic in the extreme. The theme
Is ''Everywoman's~ quest for love, and
the principal character Is supposed TO
be typical of the sex; she Is composite
woman, endowed with youth, beauty,
grace. and the other attributes Of at
tractive young womanhood. Her search
for love brings her into contact with the
pleasures and pains, 'allurefnents, ahd
handicaps of life.
Thus Of almost equal Importance with
"Everywoman" are King Love, Wealth,
Youth, Beauty. Modesty, Greed. Vanity.
Truth. Witless. Passion, -Consciencei
and others. Also there is Nobody. who
typifies worldly wisdom, public opinion
and philosophy. Through the play he
treads as guide. friend and counselor
speaking the hard truth into unwilling
ears. having his advice rejected. but
always returning, as persistentiy and
inveter2tefy as doom. =.
Impressive Interpretation of Every
woman" requires cast OF unusual
caliber, which Henry w. Savage has pro-
vided. In addition TO Miss That's
Magrane, who sustains the title role,
the leaders Of the company are Fred
eFick DeBelleville, II. Cooper-Cliffe,
Patricia ColliDge, and Marie Vain
wright. ..... =.
