ADJUSTMENTS
John Drew

IIaddon Chambers Tyranny of Tears' and Sir James M. Barrie's "The Will' were presented last night at the Jeffer- son theatre by John Drew and his capable company. In striking contrast to each ether these two plays, written by two Of the most noted English playwrights. provided a splendid vehicle for a display of the versatility that stamps John Drew as one of the most finished actors on the stage today. The large audience showed it's appreciation of the great actor and his associates as the very clever plots of both plays unfolded and curtain calls were frequent.
 Possibly the most pleasing of the two plays was "The Tyranny of Tears.' It was delightful all the way through. It's very clever lines, it's artistically con- structed situations, and charming com edy proved one of the most enjoyable stage offerings of the season. In less capable hands "The Will' might have proven disappointing after the charm of the Chambers comedy. but with each scene the wonderful power and ability of MT. Drew kept the interest to the highest point he portrayed the man of 3, 55 and 65, in rapid succession.
 Of the company assisting MT Drew too much cannot be said. Suffice to say that every member contributed to the even ing's enjoyment. Every part, few in number, it is true, was in very capable hands. It was truly a case of quality rather than quantity
 Miss Mary Roland appeared as Miss Hyacinth Woodward in the first offer ing. The part was that of a bright, self-contained, intellectual young wom- an, around whom the plot of the comedy is laid. Miss Roland measured up to every requirement as she did as Mrs. Ross' in the closing play. Miss Laura Hope Crewe gaze a finished portrayal of Mrs. Parbury,' the petted and jealous wife, and shared largely in the honors.
 Ernest Lawton was great as the rich bachelor friend. George Cunning" He shared the comedy honors with MT. Drew to a large degree. He has all the at tributes of a comediaa of the highest ability Hubert Druce as the some what clustering Colonel Armitage." and Walter Soderling as Evans were all that could have been desired. C. H.
