 "The Drama league has the oppor- tunity to secure Edyth Wynne Matthi- son for a meeting about May 13, but as this will be at considerable cost to the league. the president and board ask the co-operation of the members by requesting them to sign and return the pledge below:
 twill you promise to secure one | membership?
 Name ..............'.' '.'5...t'''' Address It is the desire of the officers to have Miss Edith Wynn Matthison appear at an early date before the league. Miss Matthison for the past season has appeared as Light in the produc | tion of '"Fhe Bethrothar' in New York | city and associated with her was one | of Birmingham's most brilliant young women, Mayo Thach.
 No actress has more enviable repu- tation and stands for the best and highest in the dramatic world of today |, Miss Matthison was born in Birming- ham, England. She first appeared in the School Girl" with Minnie Palmer. She aspired to great things and later took course in the Ben Greet School for Acting and toured in Shakespeare plays.
 In the meanwhile that interesting old morality play, "Everywoman." was be- ing tried at Oxford where it made such a deep impression that London engagement followed. For this another Everywoman was needed and Miss Matthison was selected. She came to America with it during the direction of the late Charles Frohman. Her first part in America was Viola in the Twelfth Night" and later re- turned to England to be the leading woman with Sir Henry Irving in "The Merchant of Venice"
 She came back to the states four years later and appeared in the play, Servant in the House. which was written by her husband, Charles Ram Kennedy.
 In the season of 1910-11 came Miss Matthisons noteworthy engagement at the New theatre, now the Century, when she charmed all who were fortu tunate enough to see her as Sister Bea trice, i'll the Maeterlinck play of that name She was also pronounced sue cess as Hermione, in "A Winters Tale" and Mistress Ford. in "The Merry Wives" Then came Light in the Blue Brd;" then the title role of 'The Pi- pert an American play, which had
 taken a prize in England. More re-
 gently she became leading woman with
 the late Sir Herbert Tree during his
 final season.
 Few artists have greater cause to-
 look back with pride on their roper
 tory. During the winter of 1917-1S it
 must have been with particular joy that
 Miss Matthison found herself able to
 give a series of matinees which crowded
 the Cort theatre with delighted audi
 ences of youngsters. These eager lis-
 teners drank in the charms of "The
 Merchant of Venice'' and "As You Like
 It. with never a thought that their
 author had been voted out of date and
 disastrous gamble by the commer-
 cial managers.
