BY S. G. P,
Henrietta Crosman
to Open Season Here.

Henrietta Crosman in 'Erstwhile
Susan" will open Missoula's dramatic
season Saturday. September 90, ac-
cording to announcement made yes
terday by Gil Heyfron, manager of the
Missoula theater. "Erstwhiie Susan
is a Naturalization by Marian de For
est of Helen X. Martins novel Of
pennsylvania Dutch life, "Barnabet-
ta."
Miss Crosman returns in her pres
ent play to the high comedy manner
in which she occupies the foremost
position on the American stage. 1t Is
safe to say that never before has she
delighted her admirers more thor
oughly than by her impersonation of
Juliet Miller, an elocutionist from
Iowa. who comes to uplift and to
bring gaiety and kindness to the lit
tie Pennsylvania Dutch town of Rein
hartz Station. Technically the role is
one of the most difficult that Miss
Crosman has ever essayed, since it's
successful Interpretation necessitates a
sustained emotional purpose through
scenes of the most whimsical comedy.
The love story of the play concerns
Barnabetta. a pretty and wistful Gin
derella OF the Pennsylvania Dutch.
Transformed from "A household drudge
into IA happy, fascinating and thor
oughly emancipated young woman
through the agency of the elocution-
list, whose tenderness and maternal
love are aroused by the unhappy con-
dition of Barnabetta to the extent OF
worrying her hard fisted old father,
Barnaby Dreary. for the sole purpose
of bringing about the release of the
girl.
The play is said to be a very ac-
curate picture of life in certain of the
smaller Pennsylvania Dutch communi-
ties, and it is written in such a spirit
of genial good humor that even the
originals of the characters might well
enjoy the performance.
