John Barrymore, whose illness was be-
lieved to be slight on Friday night when
he was unable to appear in THE Jest at
the Plymouth Theatre, was reported as no
better yesterday. Miss Gilda Varesi again
appeared in the role of the Florentine
poet, giving much better performances
than on the night before, when she had
very short notice. Her performance yes
terday was in many respects a remark
able one. Strange to say, the chief flaw
in it is her slight foreign accent, although
the role is that of a man of old Florence
and Miss Vares is herself an Italian ac-
tress, though having for ten years or more
played in this country. She had small
role in THE Jest before
Mr.. Barrymore already was studying for
Richard H. in the elaborate revival Of
the Shakespearian play which Arthur Hop
kins is preparing, and which is announced
to follow THE Jest" at the Plymouth
about the middle Of February. Strong
pressure from abroad was brought upon
Mr.. Barrymore to go to London to be the
star of a production of The Jest there.
and about six weeks ago he was reported
to be on the point OF going to England.
The producers in London have been COM
PEELED to abandon this idea apparently,
and it is reported from London that Henry
Ainley will be presented by Gilbert Miller
in "The Jest" following Julius Caesar"
at the ST. James Theatre
