ADJUSTMENTS
THE GRAND.

Julia Arthur, who retired from the
stage decade ago, when she was at
the pinnacle of her success, but who re-
turned last October that she might Gre
ate the principal role III Robert Nc
Laughlin's play, "The Eternal Magda-
lene, comes to the Grand Opera House
for weeks engagement beginning
Monday evening, under the management
of Selwyn & Company. Miss Arthur
will bring her original New York COM
pany here, which is enroute to Chicago,
where, it is believed, the successful New
York and Boston engagements will be
duplicated
When the announcement was made
that Miss Arthur would return to the
stage it created widespread interest. For
number of years managers had en-
dcavored to induce this beautiful and
brilliant star to resume her stage career,
but it was not until Selwyn & Company
gave her Mr.. McLaughlin's play to read,
and she became fascinated with The
Woman. the central character in "The
Eternal Magdalene," that her resolution
was overcome. The reception accorded
her at the 18th Street Theatcr, New
York, when she proved conclusivey that
she could come back" is matter of
theatrical history.
In The Eternal Magdalcnc," Miss
Arthur portrays one of the most amaz-
ing and endearing women in all stage
literature. The Woman, as she is known
in the play, cXacts depth, variety, and
finished artistry of her creator, to say
nothing of romance, beauty and dignity
all the equipment Of which Julia Ar
thur is the embodiment. The Woman is
a creature of all moods and lenses. She
is a citizen of the world and a mystic;
an allurement and an inspiration. Like
That's, she is a great saint and a great
sinner.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, the author, is a
Cleveland man, and he has written a
play which has created more discussion
than any play i'll years. He has arrayed
two worlds against each othcr-one the
world of authority and power and com
placency, and the other the so-called half
world. All the points on both sides of
the contention are brought out with re-
markable vgor.
Miss Arthurs company includes Dod-
son Mitchell Louise Randolph Frank
Byrnc, Robert Hudson, Harry IIarwood,
Arnold Lucy. Robert Middlemass, Will
liam David Ina Brooks, Amy Leah Den
mis- and many others.
