 Eda von BueIow, the stately actress in '~The Velvet Lady, is one of the many exceptionally brilliant artists contributed to the music and drama stage by the state of Texas. Miss von Buelow has heretofore acted only in dramatic plays. but is winning in mu- sicaI comedy as we'll

 A most amusing CharacIerization among the new plays on Broadway is that of Robert Rendel as an English "con'' man in "Come-on Charlie" by George Hobart. The mere thought of an English confidence man operating on an alert American stri lles one as being possessed of comedy element.
