A BRIGHT LITTLE THING

The place will be the Shubert- Re-
lasco Theater and the portrayer of
the great First American will be
Walter Hampden. The piece will
then have its first presentation on
any stage and the event will be one
of quite unusual moment, apart
from its direct dramatic interest.
Percy MacKaye is the author and
his work is in three acts, with a
prologue. The play was recently
published in book form and is cred
tied with having aroused a country
wide interest, not alone for it's his
torical quality and it's inevitable pa
triotic value, but also for the novel
form. Not few of the book-re-
viewers have expressed the belief
that Mr.. Mackaye has evolved a
dramatic style likely to have revo-
lutionary effect. The play Is spec
tacular and will call for a company
OF seventy persons headed by
George Marion. while the settings
have been designed by the mastery

den will appear in the quality of
