Sheldon's Romance 7 Strode Reading, the
 Drama League

6T1HE members of the Birmingham
 Drama league will enjoy a pro
 S gramme of much interest on next Thursday afternoon at 8 o'clock at the Southern club, when MT. Hud- son Strode of the Alabama university will read Edward Sheldon's popular play, Romance"
 Mir Strodes exceptional advantage in study and travel his signal success as an instructor in dramatic literature at the university, and his experience as q dramatic coach, short story writer and reader, make Alabamians feel an especial pride in his achievements
 In London, Romance" experienced one of the longest runs in the history of the English stage, and by all odds the longest ever scored anywhere by d play of American athorship The play purposes to show the effect that real love has on a character seemingly de- void of moral perception and is one or great emotional possibilities. Mr. Strode with artistic insight makes the most of these and is most subtle and convincing in his interpretation of the three main characters in Sheldon's story" said recent critic. Especially clever is his achievement of atmos- phere and his suggestion of contrast in the closing scene, when he pictures the old bishop in the story telling his young auditor of his early romance"
 It so happened that the first New York engagement came nowhere near exhausting that city's interest in this delightfully."- giamorous play by EdwarS Sheldon, so that its recent triumphant return to the playhouse seems less a revival than the resumption of an in- terrupted run. After eight years one revisits it a trifle appresensively, only to find that the play has lost not whit of it's great charm or fascination. It IS indeed interesting to believe that dur ing the many hundreds of times Gilda Varesi played her interesting role in Romance that there was 'bornir in her mind the first notion of her de- lightful comedy Enter, Madame" In the last act of Romance" the adoring young New Yorker and the famous Ital- ian prima donna bid each other tur- bulant but final farewell. Let us inn agine that instead of this, that he should have chucked his scruples out of the Brevoort window and sailed with her next day for the Riviera. Suppose they had married, leaving him event. ually to settle down here, while she went galhvanting lyrically around the world. What then? Miss Varesi must have asked herself those questions so often that she simply could not help
