" Pagan" Latterday Romantic
Plav, Comes to Polls Stage

At Polls tonight. "Pagans," a
modern romantic play by Charles An
thony. proclaimed in Boston as the
dramatic sensation of the day. Will
be presented by the greatest array
of dramatic stars ever assembled.
In the unprecedented all-star cast
which Max r. Wilmer and Sigmund
Romberg have selected to send this
vehicle along the highway Of success,
are the American stars, Irene Fen
wick and Helen Ware, and the cele-
brated young continental artist,
Joseph Shildkraut. who IL making his
debut as an American star in
Pagans."
The brilliant cast also includes such
favorites as Harold Vermilye, known
as a Cohan star and app airing in
"Pagans" by special permission of
George M. Conan and two of Amer
ica's most widely known and best
liked leading men. Frederic Burt and
David Glassford.
The author Of 'Pagans'' 10 the well
known Boston concert pianist and
teacher at the New England Con-
servatory Of Music. He Is son OF
Gardner c. Anthony, dean of the En-
cheering School of Tufts College.
Besides "Pagans" Mr.. Anthony has
two other plays shortly to be pro-
duced on Broadway.
The central figure OF the play is a
young artist incapacitated as a result
Of the war. The interest OF the play
lies in the circumstances which de-
velop in the life Of this young man
" no is torn between love for woman
who has inspired him and whose COM
panionship is his salvation, and the
wife whom he has learned to honor
and love but whose lack Of sympa-
thetic understanding has made him
an invalid.
While comedy situations are plenti-
full yet the loftiest and most intense
dramatic heights are reached through
the course of the play and 1t was
for that reason that Mr.. Shildkraut
personally selected "Pagans" as the
vehicle with which to return to the
American stage as star. following
his European triumphs. In "Pagans'
he has been hailed as the greatest
young romantic star Of the present
day.
Both Miss Fenwick and Miss Ware
are said to have two OF the most
suitable roles Of their careers and
the. balance Of tho cast II ideally cast.
The staging Of the play has been
under the able direction Of Bertram
Harrison.

The celebrated battle of the lion and

But in this particular case the
above mentioned players are in the

night. and not once during rehear-

that might exist for sarcasm and
bitterness, II Is strange that only
cordial good feeling Is the rule.
Irene Fenwick explains 1t in this
