before Fair and Warmer" was ever
produced He had written Seven
Days and 'Nobody's Widow" and
zach had been more than usually sue
cessful. When his latest work was
presented. however. there was no
question but that he had outdone
himself. From the night the play
opened in New York il was a scream
Ing riot, and it would be only an in
corable case of blues, crouch, or
whatever the ailment which dispelled
laughter might be, that would keep
anyone from laughing until their
sides ached.
Fair and Warmer needs a cast
OF competent players TO bring out the
best that is in it, and It is such
company that Selwyn and company
have assembled for its presentation
here. In conspicuous roles are John
Arthur, Edna Hibbard. Maud Andrew,
Florence RyersOn, William II. Sulli-
van. Chester Ford, John Morris, and
Ralph Simone, all of them well known
in the theatrical profession. many OF
whom have but recently been seen on

TO work on than the audience knows.
and until the final curtain drops ev-
cry member OF the audience is JUS
