THEATRE

career with Charles Frohman's En-
pire Theatre company. Maxine FL
lott appears as Lady Algy, in
which her beauty and talents are
seen to their best advantage. The
supporting company includes Mary
Compton, Robert Aryton, Freder-
lex Lloyd, Philip Leigh, Erville AL
derson, Harvey Hays, Percy War
am, Franklin Fox, H. Jess Smith,
Herbert Belmore. Frederick Ray
mond, Emily Fitzroy, Maud Hos
ford, Eleanor Benedict and others.
Lord and Lady Algy' is Sheri-
danesque in style and manner. 1t
has to do with the upper class
sporting circles in England. Lord
and Lady Algy have separated be-
cause of lack of ready money and
differences OF opinion as to the
values OF race horses and cigarets.
They are still in love with each
other and a reconciliation seems
possible, when Quarmby, Algy's ell
der brother, begins filtration
with Mrs. Tudway, which involves
Algy. Algy gets all the blame and
is complicated in the matter
through his efforts to aid Quarmby
and to save Mrs. Tudway from an
indiscretiOn. Having lost all his
money at the race track, he gives
up all hope of winning his wife
back again, but she finds out the
true state of affairs and takes a
hand in the game in time to
straighten out the situation and
persuade Algy to start life over
again.
The play has been produced I'M
der the personal direction of Will
liam Faversham, who is one of the
few actor-manageT on the stage
today. Algy is one of his most
successful roles. Miss Elliott is
said to be more beautiful than ever
and as Lady Algy to have estab-
lished herself as the premier draw
ing room comedienne of the Eng
lish speaking stage.

subsequent regeneration of both.
