Original All Star Production of 'Fine
 EeatherS"


 Never before have so many real stars been seen in a single modern play as H. H. FTazee will present in his production of Fine Feathers. last seasons biggest dramatic sensation on Broadway, which comes to the Lyceum theatre, New London, Wednesday, March p, matinee and night
 The notable company includes Fully Marshall. Wilton Lackaye, Max Fig man, Rose Coghlan, Florence Rock well, Lydia Dickson and others. Even without this combination of fine dram- atic talent Fine Feathers would be one of the most important dramatic offer 1 ings of the season: but with it's dis tinguished cast intact. and with its perfect production it is easily the red The play held New York Spellbound during it's run of 150 nights at the Astor theatre, and established a new record for attendance in Chicago dur ing a, stay of six months at the Cort theatre.
 Fine Feathers is conceded to be the best work of Eugene Walter. who wrote The Easiest Way. Paid in Full, The Wolf, and The Trail of the Lone some Pine. One of it's chief charms is the fact that it deals with people and situations with which everyone is familiar IL is a play of tOday-a page from the book of life as it is lived at the present time. by 8 majority of the American people. It is brilliantly written, has the rare combination of terrific punch and sparkling dialogue, and the story holds the attention of the audience from the first hne to the final drop of the curtain Wilton Lack ayes acting in the role of John Brand, the man of finance, is all that can be expected of this sterling actor; Tully Marshall. it is said, has never done finer work than as the young husband in +biS rD11 h c not been seen here in a long time, will be found superb in thes role of the newspaper reporter; Rose Coghlan, as may be imagined, is splendiG in 8 comedy role; Florence Rockwell gives fine portrayal of the difficult role of the wife; Lydia. Dickson contributes q capital character portrayal and the other parts are in the original hands.
 The combination of big play, fine production and star cast should result in a performance to be long and pleasantly remembered by those who witness it.
 All star casts are a raritya on the stage. Once in a great while they are gathered for special engagements in New York; but when they are taken on the road only one of the original company may be retained while the rest of the cast is made up of lesser lights. More often an entirely inferior company is made up for the less fla vored cities away from Broadway. But the case is different with Fine Feath- CTS. which comes to Lyceum theatre, New London. Wednesday, March 25, matinee and night This all star pro- duction, which broke all attendance records in New York, Chicago, Phila- delphia and Boston, comes here with its wonderful all star cast intact The brilliant company still includes Fully Marshall, Wilton LacSaye, Max Fig
 
 and Lydia Dickson-a group of stellar actors, who made Fine Feathers the most talked of dramatic sensation of the generation. H. H. F'razee. pro ducer of Fine Feathers has been able to keep his remarkable company to- gether for several months beyond the metropolitan en2a 2agements and New London is one of the few cities to be given view of the all star production.
