The success OF the experiment

ment reduced the price of tickets
for Monday only, proved SO great
that L. Stoddard Taylor, manager Of
the theater, has arranged with Wa

continue the plan tomorrow night,
when that firm offers its new play,
Spanish Love" written by Avery
Hopwood and Mary Roberts Rine-

The mana cement Of the theater

its new policy. This is what is

difficult for new plays OF real merit

have in Spanish Love"

Alice Joyce to Star
In Role Made Famous
By Ethel Barrymore

That sage who said let a story
have any merit and it is bound to
reach the screen sooner or later,
spoke the truth. The companies
have been falling over each other
and bidding extravagant figures to
get all the available plays and
novels for their stars. The latest
to acquire a well known play is
Albert E. Smith. who is chuckling
to himself over the purchase of
Cousin Kate" the Charles Froh-
man production that created such a
sensation some years ago.
Ethel Barrymore, with Bruce Nc
rae as her leading man, created
Cousin Kate" on the stage. It had
its premiere at the Empire Theater
and was Immediately launched into
a memorable run. After New York
had enjoyed Miss Barrymore in
Cousin Kate" which, by the way
is one of her most successful stage
plays, she took it on tour and to-
day it is said there are playgoers
in some of the middle-sized towns
who have seen Miss barrymore only
in this one play.

lectable role of Cousin Kate

Although Irving Cummings. the

lovers OF both stage and screen,
Cummings is today one Of the most
virile and sports-loving actors OF

Powerfully built. with a physique
that he keeps constantly trained to

Players to exploit the powerful
romantic personality of Irving Cum
mings, the internationally famous
photoplay star. who begins at the

proud, .forceful man who has little
patience with the shams of society.
After a stormy scene with the girl

lavish adherence to conventions and
fashion, he suddenly cuts short her
protests by sweeping her into his
high-powered motor-car and escap-
ing TO the Maine woods where he
reverts to primitive conditions and
makes her his mate without him
