Frances starr in Marketable"


David BeIasco will again present
Frances Starr at the Belasco Theater

Of Edward Knoblauch, Marketable"
Miss Starr returns to US from the tri-
umph Of a I'VE months engagement at
the BeIasco Theater, New York, fol-
lowing her initial performances in this
play here a year ago.
Knoblauch's previous plays have
secured his place among the foremost
writers for the contemporary stage.
In Marketable" he tells a story OF
convent life, which, in its conception
and development, is a combination OF
humanity and holy innocence.
The depletion OF characters Of youth,
requiring charm and strong spiritual
appeal, such as the title role IN
Marketable" is Miss STAIRS speciality
and IL must be admitted that no one
Of her contemporary artistes does this
kind Of work more effectively.
Mr.. Belasco has retained the same
cast that appeared with Miss Starr at
