The play in which David BeIasco will
present Frances Starr at the National
next week is The Case of Becky. -
which was originally produced here, and
which has just closed a successful sea-
son at the BeIasco Theater in New
York. Edward Locke, its author, chose
a daring subject-the cure of a young
girls mental trouble by the power Of
hypnosis or auto-suggestion. No one but
Mr.. Belasco would venture to produce
play on such a theme. and it speaks vol
umcs for his effective handling that its
dramatic appeal has been instantaneous.
In The Case of Becky Mr.. Belasco
carries on the thoughtful drama which
he established so successfully in his
own play, THE Return OF Peter Grimm"
The new Locke drama has aroused end
less discussion, for in its novelty and dar-
ing ii is one of the most remarkable
plays ever produced.
Miss Star comes here direct from the
Belasco Theater, Manhattan, where she
created one of the most profound sem
sations of the dramatic year. The cast
includes Charles Dalton. Albert Bruning.
Mary Dawton. Eugene O'Brien, Harry c.
Brown. and John Brawn.

This play opened at the Harris Theater

The piece was designated on the pro-

as the idea of those responsible for it's
production, that idea being that Mr..
Hawtrey himself could put it over"
without any assistance whatever from
other members of the cast.

S1LAS McBEE LAUNCHES
NEW RELIGIOUS JOURNAL

An interesting announcement is that of
the early appearance of the first number
OF the Constructive Quarterly. a journal
or the faith, work, and thought of
Christendom. The magazine is to be
edited by Mr.. Silas McBee former editor
OF the Churchman. Its scope is thus de-
scribed in the prospectus:
1T provides a platform from which
leaders in scholarship and action Of all
Anglican, Protestant-address the world
without sectarian animus with regard to
their work and progress.
THE Quarterly has no scheme for
propagatlng a system for the unity of
Christian churches. II will, therefore
have no editorial pronouncements. 1t
offers itself rather as a forum where
the isolated churches OF Christendom
may reintroduce themselves to one an
other through the things that they them
selves positively hold to be vital to
Christianity.
Two conditions are imposed: First,
that the faith and work and thought
OF each communion shall be presented
in its absolute integrity, including and
pot avoiding differences; and, second
that no attack with polemicaI animus
shall be made on others.
Mr.. McBee has associated with himself
as members OF an editorial board in this
venture such representative men in
Christendom as Archbishop Platon. DR..
William Adams Brown. DIR. Du Bose,
President W. Douglas Mackenzie. Dean
Shailer Mathews. Mr.. George Wharton
Pepper, DIR. Robert L. 'Speer. DR. Henry
Van Dyke, DR.. William Harman van Al

1t turns out that Charles Frohman's
famous triple bill in London-when plays
by Shaw, Pinero and Barrie-were done
on the same highland out of which
at least came one superb work, Barrie's
"Rosalind'-had the value of writing a
new chapter in the history OF the mod
ern English stage. rare record was
made that night. 1t was the first time
in the history of the stage that three
one-act plays by famous playwrights
had their premieres at the same theater
on the same night; and 1t was the first
time that three different companies had
ever been engaged to interpret them.
Each cast was as different as the style
employed by the three authors; and each
player was of stellar rank Nor was
the outcome at all bad. Once an inter
viewer asked Charles Frohman what he
considered good average OF success for
first-class theatrical manager, and
Mr.. Frohman answered: six times out
of ten; seven is very high" But in his
