ginning Monday evening. February 16,
just before she begins her engagement
at a New York theater.
Miss Ferguson has not been seen
on the dramatic stage for several
seasons. Her temperance now as q
Charles Frohman star Is particularly
noteworthy because IL was under the
direction OF the late Charles Frohman,
associated with Klaw & Erlanger,
that she scored her greatest success
as Miriam in Hubert Henry Davies
'-Outcast." performance that estab-
lshed her as one Of the most &C
complished emotional actresses on the
American stage.
selected as the vehicle for her re-
entry, is by the celebrated English
novelist and playwright, Arnold Ben
nett. 1t has already been produced
in London. where il is now one OF
the reigning snccesses and where the
unusual quality Of its subject matter
and the unconventionality Of the lead
ing Characteristic young girl whom
Miss Ferguson will impersonate-has
caused widespread discussion.
David Belasco owns the American
rights Of the play and IL is by an ar
rangement that he has made with
All Hayman. general manager for

and LenOre ChippendsIe head the

been called the white hope" Of the
stage. He has appeared in many
OF the Sothern and MRrlowe prOdUg-
tions, as well as other important
plays, his last appearance being ss
the prodigsl son in The Wsnderer."
Rowland Blackstone is well-knoWn
for his low-comedy creations and
Henry Stanford was leading man
for Henry Irving during his last
tours Alma Kruger has acted many
important modern aud classical roles
and the Chippendsle name is well
known in theatrical annals.
That the problem that has long
confronted Manager Harry JRrbOe Of
the Gayety Thester-that OF attract
ing lady patronage-Sppears to be
completely solved. seems proved bv
the constantly increasing attendance
on the part Of the fair sex. This
victory is due, IL is believed. TO the
snti-smoking policy that was in
aUgufated at the beginning OF the
season. removing the last OF the
prejudices against attendance by
women. At matinees particUlarly.
