thoroughly in accord with her role
and is never once lost sight of
throughout her performance.
Personality is something that
cannot be taught nor can it be
achieved by study. 1t is born with
in. Nevertheless. through constant
practice and earnest efforts. Miss
Larrimore has accomplished the
knowledge of stagecraft. and linked
together with her personality. gives
her that attractive clothing" which
is necessary for the success OF pres
ent day stage eXponents.
Miss Larrimore brings to bear. in
all of her roles, the proper blending
of the dramatic as well as the comic.
Twin Beds" was farcical in nature,
eliminating altogether the purely
dramatic principles. but in later
productions there existed a touch Of
pathos. This fact brought to the
fore that Miss Larrimore had some
thing else in her store of knowl-
edge which aided her success. This
was her versatility. Pathetic in the
more dramatic and touching ele-
ments, yet easily at home when her
role called for comedy. Miss Larri-
more ably sways the audience from
tears TO laughter.
Anything farcicaI calls for
slight touch of daring and this is
accomplished in Miss Larirmore's
own original way that evades the
so-calIed vulgarity. but withal,
gives Just that touch Of suggestive
ness that does not offend the most
refined taste.
Earnest. conscientious efforts have
brought to Miss LarrimOre well de-
served praise and success. She has
attained such heights only through
hard work. Success gained that
way cannot easily be lost.
In the latest vehicle supplied Miss
Larrimore, she blends all the char
acteristics gained through her wide
stage experience. into a role that is
appealing. sympathetic. yet carry
ing an underlying vein Of comedy
that will add new laurels. and will
cause her name to rank with some
of the best in stageland.

1t is Miss Donnelly's Job TO see that

of Occupation are not forced to fall
back upon German music and Ger

infrequent periods when most excel
lent performers and musicians are not
supplied across the Rhine by the
Overseas Theater League and the Y.

here, Miss Donnelly has discovered
that the German artistic peril is not
OF serious moment; the soldiers are
not only histrionic smbi-
tions, but real dramatic ability. They
are putting on performances Of every
thing from BOX and Cox" TO Ham

Springhtly Interpretation
of Difficult Role, Comes to
Capital as Leading Lady
in Scandal" a Comedy
Drama with Interesting
Setting.

The arrival of Scandal" the spicy
comedy drama, playing all this week
at the Shubert-Garrick Theater, has
the distinction at least of presenting
Francine Larrimore to the Washing
ton theater public in one of the best
roles OF her career.
Miss Larrimore needs little introduce
ton to play-goers as her name has
been connected with some of the lead
ing plays of the times. Some years
ago Twin Beds" made quite a sem
sation in New York When the popu-
larity of the play became SO great
that an extra company was needed.
Miss Larrimore was selected as the
logical conclusion for a role hard to
ti. In this production she immedi-
ately rose to fame with the ultimate
result that she was soon given the
lead in other productions of similar
character
Following closely on the heels of
twin Beds Miss Larrimore next
made her appearance in Fair and
warmer" which took New York by
storm. In this Offering the petite
comedienne increased her popularity
to such an extent that it was only
natural for the producers of "ParIor
Bedroom and Bath" to select her for
the leading role in the latter produo.

Larrimore made a gradual crescendo
to the higher attainments in histrior.-

ed for the leading female role.
In every instance Miss Larrimore
has shown that trait which is ex-
tremely essential in successful char
aCter acting. and that is her power
OF adapting herself to the part she rs
presenting. This has been due partly
to her early instructions and partly
to the ease with which she blends
herself to the dramatic qualities Of
her part.
During her early stage career,
Miss Larrimore showed a strong
inclination toward comedy and, as
she gradually grew in experience,
this point became strongly in evil
