The three one-act plays by J. NJ. Barrie
The New Word" "Barbara's Wedding" and
"The Old Lady Shows Her Meda!s''-which

tour, are gems Of the rarest beauty" SAYS
a writer in the Syracuse On W Journal
Each differed from the other IN the wide
range of Barrie's art" said this writer after
seeing a performance Of the plays the other
evening. "and each held in It the maximum
Of the Barrie charm. Tears and laughter
were so near together that one could scarce
find the parting line in the mind and each
held the human note so true that the picture
faded into a reality.
Much OF the Charm of Barrie of the olden
days as Maude Adams presented him was
there. but the atmosphere was of today.
Each held a story of the present day conflict
which England is fighting with body and
soul and for instinct of pride and sacrifice
are interviewer in touching manner. 1t is
the English heart Of today II throbs for
the triumph of right and prophetic in what
it holds in store for America. Each sketch

moral lesson and it is safe to say that no

The postman who delivered letters to
the George NJ. Conan Theatre in New

over letters-intcnded for Ruth Chatterton,

which were not addressed to that winsome
young actress But one day Miss Chatter
ton herself explained to him who Judy
Abbott was.
In every mail there were one or more
letters either for just Judy or Judy
Abbott" and frequently for Judy Abbott
Chatterton." Playgoers who saw DADDY
Long-Legs" will know at once how this
strange assortment of names came about
but the poor postman had never seen the
Jean Webster play. And so zone after
neon, during a matinee, he asked the stage
door man to explain the puzzle. That ndi-
vdual put the question up to Miss Chat
terton.
And thus the postman discovered the
reason.
