an original comedy in three acts and
four scenes, by Alan Dale, known
the universe over, as one OF the best
dramatic critics in America.
An admirer of Miss Robson's alb
ility for many years, Mr.. Dale has
on several occasions before. tried
TO interest the coincidence mana
gers to the extent Of writing play
for her but the want was confined TO
the stage representation of charaCt-
ers made famous in books or stor-
les. such as fish" The Requiem
alton Of Aunt Mary A Little Bit
old Fashioned" and The Making
over of Mrs. Mat" etc. in which she
has appeared with tremendous sue
cess.
In "Nobody's Fool" Mr.. Dale has
given her a play which is entirely
different from anything in which she
has appeared, and d role which
calls for all the humor and pathos
that only the true artist she IS could
lend. 1T is by for the best piece
of character work. this grea tartist
has ever done" is an expression
commonly heard in the lobbbies of
theaters wherever the play has
been presented, and which is coin
cided with by the critics in the var
ious cities.
