siasm of the merits of the acting as well as the play
 Within the memory of theatre goers there has never been gathered into one cast more distinguished array of histrionic talent and certainly stars have never acquitted themselves more splen- didly than these five great stars of Out There"-the concensus of opinion every where

 MT. Hartley Manners, the author of Out There" must rejoice in sending out his masterpiece in the hands of such capable actors his famous characters are realized in the flesh and blood and in the spirit through the medium of great acting: they reach out over the footlights and grasp you by the hand, and we live with them Out There in the enchanted surroundings and share their joys and happiness, their sorrows and their mis- fortunes.
 The audience out in front of the foot lights almost acts with these great stars, for the delicate touch that Miss Lord gives Co the part she plays, the inimitable grace of Miss Shaw, the old school elegance of MT. Warde and the art of Miss Bingham and MT. Ross will actually permeate the individual and makes one feel as If he, too were part of the play.
 MT. Frederick warde, whose name stands for all that is best and most en- viable on the American stage today whose career covers a period of many years as the interpreter of Shakespeare, student, as well as actor of the illus trious work of the Bard of Avon, talked with me a few days ago-for he is spending the Christmas season here hav- ing arrived the latter part of this week prior to the Christmas engagement here of "Out There"-about his career and his life on the stage.
 Mr. Warde, erect handsome-his 40 years of stage life showing him still the Beau Brummel-the "elegante"-his fine- tinged with silver-meets and greets one in the same charming manner that he makes his entrance on the stage; al- way alert, always punctilious.
 He has posed for the great painters of the world; a model for many whose rep utation was then unmade-but since have climbed to the topmost rung of the lad der.
 In the plays of Shakespeare from the simplest role to the most exacting he has played his part; and now he comes to us in modern comedy-just as fin ished, just as intellectual, as when he

 Probably no play has ever been pro- duced that is more appropriate to the Christmas season than Hartley Manners clever comedy Out There

 The war, among other agencies, has brought about the "all star'' cast play once more and it has proven a most eventful innovation of the stage. Many looked upon this idea at first with eyes askaace, believing that such an organiza- ton could only achieve success d'es- time, that the big note of dramatic great ness would never be achieved by an all- star cast whether the play be new or old, because in the case of each actor fin our hearts and minds we had little niche devoted to a certain play in which we'd seen them and we couldn't bear to have them mixed up with others: but, To and behold! these delusions have vanished world without end and today whether on Broadway or In the smaller cities audiences have grown to enjoy ~all-star'' casts in many instances, espe- cially since seeing such plays as Out There" including such magnificent ex- ponents of the American stage as Fred erick Warde, the great Shakespearean actor, Amelia Bingham, the renowned dramatic actress, Thomas W.

"JossELYN's WIFE

CTHE STORY OF A WOMAN'S FAITHl
 By Kathleen Norris Frontispiece by Allan Gilbert. Doubleday Page <
 Co, publishers. Garden City, New
 York
 Mrs Norris latest novel tells the story of sweet, simple Ellen Latmer, transported by a whirlwind marriage existence of a small country town to the luxuries of the wealthy social life of New York.
 There is time when the young sec ond wife of Gibbs Josselyn's father threatens to break up their happy mar ried life, for Gibbs succumbs to her undeniable fascination. Then comes the crash Through the long agonies of a murder trial it is the wife he has neglected who alone upholds him. It is her faith that wins out and brings him at last to an understanding of his egotistical folly.
 The insistence upon an ending in variably happy is not ours. If writer has to strain points of probability or logic in order to round off book with smile, even a happy conclusion Is not hanpily produced Mrs Norris, however. has turned to the other ex- treme. She has gone out of her way to dip her finishing pen n tears. Has she discovered that there are enough readers who just dote on good cry- ing story to make it worth while thus to minister to them in times already sadder than any novelist's imagina ing?
 But anyway. Ellen I.atimer is a fine Lonr Island eir1-from up Port Wash ingtor way--with eyes of Irish blue. with dainty color and clean heart.

FORTUNE"
 By Albert Payson Terhune. Illustra-
 tions by w. Clinton Petite. Doubleday
 Page & Co, publishers Garden City, New York
 A realistic novel of New York life with a background of newspaper pat ter amid the strata of society which most of us know, but which no one before has really expressed in book. It is story without word of war in 1t. How Eve and Brant go down into the valley together and how the metal of each is tried in the fire of diversity, is told with strength of realism, yet with -delicacy of touch. that makes MT. Terhun's work stand forth with large promise.
 Fortune" is realism, perhaps, but realism of the sort seen in the play by-play narrative of a baseball game. A story of the half way poor" de- scribed as the people who earn from $25 to $50 week and spend from S25 to $40 month for rent, and who live in such regions as Amsterdam avenue, passes, is woven around Brant Errol and Eve Gourley. Errol was a s35-a- week reporter on an evening paper, and the girl was the 1S-year- old sister of multimillionaire; and they mar ried. This is an unusual occurrence; but whenever MT. Terhune presents an unusual occurrence he insists that he | can prove that such things do happen. Perhaps they do, but mere chronicle of them is not realism. But-zwell-- read the story for yourself. It is high ly entertaining and written in MT. Terhune's best style.
