unique features of the New York SYM

yesterday afternoon, under the d1rectlon
Of Walter Damrosch. Judged by the
applause of the large audience, the pian-

veritable storm of hand-clapping until
he was forced to bow his acknowledge

Margaret Schiller the role that Miss
Ferguson essays in the drama. is said
to be of greater depth emotionally and
affords finer opportunities for brilliant
acting than any part that she has play
ed heretofore. Her portrayal is ex-
pected to mark another artistic step
upward in the interesting career of this
delightful young star.
Margaret Schiller" Is the first play
that has come from the pen of Mr..
Game in several seasons. 1t deals with
the effect of war upon the non-com-
batants of the nations involved, and its
purpose Is, in a way. to show that the
finest and most noble characters may
be impelled to seemingly unworthy
deeds through the very highest ideals.
