Change" is by j. o. Francis, who
lived among the Welsh people. The pres
ent production is understood TO be the
first time a play based upon Welsh
theme has been acted in this country. A
pathetic feature is shown in the love OF
the mother for her three sons, and her
despair when all three OF them are taken
from her, and the deep sincerity of the
father, who believes he is doing what il
right because he can see no benefit TO be
gained by antagonizing the established
beliefs of his forefathers
Notable character acting is displayed
by Edmond Kennedy, as the one-armed
cockney whose philosophy is a laugh.
The English cast INCLUDES Ernest Cove,
Lillian Mason, Harold West, Edmond

Mapes as a foundation upon which to
build what is described as thoroughly
up-to-date play structure. The story
follows the original to the extent that 1t
takes place in New York, with the action
shifting from social circles to the excite
ment Of the stock exchange, the day a
panic is impending. 1t continues to be
relieved with dual love interest, and
peopled with characters who are types
of everyday life. The announcements in
dictate that interest has been shifted to
some degree from the role of BERTHE, the
Lamb, and that Mr.. Crane will be the
dominant force of the presentation in his
fine portrait of Van Alstyne. Mr.. Fair
banks is to share male honors with him
in "a most amusing study of the silly
Johnnie part of Bertie." Miss Bingham
will be Mrs. Updyke. a clever widow of
social prominence. Miss Collinge is the
sweet and sympathetic fnancee of BERTHE,
and a most delightful one. The play will
be beautifully staged. In the supporting
cast will be found Ilyster Chambers.

claims are almost entirely tempera-
