Maude Adams is to be the bright,

! Barrie's best known and most popular
comedies, The Little Minister and
What Every Woman Knows.
1t was in this city and in THE Little
Minister" that Miss Adams made her
debut as a star and laid the foundation
of her great popularity. Her portrayal
of the Elusive Lady Babbie established
her firmly and she will always be re-
membered for the art with which she
invested the work of the clever Scotch
dramatist. The comedy has quaintness,
a bit of fantasy and humor and senti-
ment and is in Mr. Barrie's most charm
ing vein. The story concerns Lady
Babbie and Gavin Dishart. who was af-
fectionately known to his congrega-
ton in Thrums as "the little minister"
who took Lady Babbie' from her dress.

was a matter of deep concern and
there was plenty of gossip. Miss
Adams will open her engagement in

Wedn nesday afternoon and evening and
Saturday afternoon and evening.
1t has been said that What Every
Woman Knows is the strongest piece
of dramatic writing which has come
from Mr.. Barrie's pen. 1t was an enor-
nous success when first given. The
plot hinges on the marriage of a little
Scotch woman and her efforts to make
a great man of her husband. 1t is not
all plain sailing, for the egotistical
husband imagines that in a social hut
terhy he has found an affinity" But
in the end all comes out just as one
would wish it and the riddle of what

man in the closing line of the play,
causes him to laugh for the first time
