preciate the best in the modern drama
when David Belasco presents that
brilliant and charming little artistic,

morrow night in Edward Knoblauch's

the three acts of this latest play.
which is described as a story of shell

into contact with the world, Mr.. Knob
LAUGH is credited with giving the most
remarkable translation TO the theatre
OF what in such plays as "The Pass

Servant In the House" was called the

removed from the earthly as the love

OF the work is said to be beautifully
interpreted by Miss Starr. who. as
the young novice In the lonely con-

in which Mr.. Belasco thinks he has
ever attempted to present her IL IS
