Few Changes From Original
Cast Seen Here.

Edward Iinoblauch second dramatic

offerings. the expertly acted and
Eelasco-produced play Of the innocent
young novice In the Alsatian convent,
"Marie-odlle," opened at the Belasco

Frances Starr. assisted by a company
little changed from that originally EN-
ployed to enact the story within the
walls OF the convent In mountainous

chime of the Angelus bell and the mu-
steal chant of the nuns at prayer. and
with the house darkened. the Belasco
touch to the production was marked.

Marie-odile" tells a delicate story
delicately. Perhaps exaggerated in por-
tions showing the discipline in the con-
vent, nevertheless the play contains 30
much that is rich In dramatic worth
that Its severity OF treatment is passed
by.
Found on the door step OF the convent,
Marie Odilc" becomes a novice without
knowledge Of the world OF worldly
things. The first act ends with the
nuns fleeing with the advance OF the
much-feared Prusslans, leaving the In
nocent girl behind.
