From a matronly woman OF thirty to
a sweet innocent girl of seventeen in
thirty seconds seems impossible. doesn't
it? Yet that is the change which Miss
Marie Leonhard makes in the third act
of "On Trial" the drama which will be
seen at the New National Theater, the
week of February II.
1t is one OF the quickest changes ever
made by an actress on the legitimate
stage and rivals the work done by the
quick change artists who do that and
nothing more.
When the curtain falls on the third
scene in the third act. Miss Leonhard
appears as Mrs. Robert Strickland, a
young woman of thirty. Thirty seconds
later the curtain rises and she walks
across the room of a hotel on Long
Island and the audience learns why
Gerald Trash has such a hold upon her.
The action occurs thirteen years earlier
than in the previous scene.
To produce this illusion well would
tax the art OF the best actress, and
Miss Leonhard proves by her girlish
appearance that she is in the front
rank of her profession.

ION Trial"

No game Of chance ever invented is as
illusive as the theatrical business. For
tunes are won on discards and lost on
sure things. What is it that makes for
success in playwriting? Elmer L. Reiz-
