BeIasee-s6ld Lady 81"

Emma Dunn IN "Old Lady 81"
which comes to the Belasco The
alter Monday. February 25th, is a
comedy by Rachel Crothers and
comes from a 6-months' run on
Broadway. The author and the di-
rectors have defied every tradition
of stage-craft. Its very name is a
contradiction, for "Old Lady 81" is
really a man and old enough to be
considered perfectly safe in a home
intended to accommodate old ladies
only. -
The element of the comedy fol-
lows close on the heels of the trag-
edy in which two old people are
forced to give up their home and
seek admittance to q public tnsti-
tuition. The verdict which admitted
the couple to the Old Ladies' Home
was rendered out of the goodness
of-heart of the directors of the
home. who sympathized with the
old couple IN their devotion to each
other. Old Abner didn't mean TO
stir up mischief in that meant-to-
be-Adannless Eden; IL wasn't his
fault that the old ladies forgot they
were past the sweet 1s" period OF
life, and that Angie, his wife, stu
considered him the lady-killer OF
his youthful days4
