to the Belasco Theater this week,
marks the return to the speaking

Miss Brady has ever been IA
vorite of the theatergoing public
as her performances in The
Things That Count" Little

prima donna roles of the Gilbert

an unusual place in the affections

Three years ago she deserted
the stage for the screen, and in
that short time has s,achieved world
wide popularity as a motion. pic
ture star. In Forever After Miss
Brady is said to have role TO
which she is eminently fitted.
Mr.. Davis Is said to have written
an unusual play of romance, of
youth and the war. The story lis
told in three acts and in as many
episodes that carries the spectator
from a battle field in France to a
quiet country village .,in Vermont.
To support Miss Brady, a 4 notable
cast has been selected. Playing op-
posite her is Conrad Nagel and
