The announcement that Maude Adams
In to appear, at the Brandeis theater

with matinee Wednesday. IN a special re-
vival of equality Street." will unques-
tionably please any number of people
who admire the actress and appreciate
the work of the Scotch dramatist, ]. NJ.
Barrie. In the long and varied range
OF characters that Miss Adams has played
IL is only natural that some OF them
stand out with greater prominence than
others. This is not always due to the
merit of Interpretation, but to individual
liking OF story and Characterization. To
a great many people two of Miss Adams
Characterization will always stand out
clearly and distinctly. These are Lady
Babbie in 1.-THE Little Minister and
Phoebe Throssell in Quality Street"
The stories In which these characters
were set made a strong appeal to all
those who still had any sentiment and
romance left in their heads. And no
one will dispute that gray hairs often
cover very youthful ideals. Phoebe
Throssell has always had any number OF
admirers. She is youthful. she is old
fashioned and trusting. innocent OF the
world outside her little village, and your
young blade and your roysterer get diff
ferent angle on the world when they
come into her presence Her fascination
is felt by youth Of both sexes. and as
has been intimated there is no age limit
where sentimentality comes into play.
Quality Street deals with old-fashioned
people, of period of life long ago. and
unfolds a charming love story in which
Phoebe and the manly Valentine Brown
are the principal figures. The company
surrounding Miss Adams Is made up OF
prominent players.
