feature of other hits while the elab-
crate costumes and beautiful scenic
effects represent the outlay OF q
sood sized fortune.
While Toto" which originally
was a French play and one of the
big successes of the Paris season, IS
essentially a comedy there is a
beautifully told romance running
through it and in its more serious
moments the play touches the high
lights Of Partisan night life In con
trast to the severe rural simplicity
that predominates in provincial
France. 1t is this contrast that
makes it so truly enjoyable and 1t
contains some of the ~Cleverest lines
of the season in addition to several
situations that will aus even the
most blase sort of person to laugh.
Mr.. Ditrichstein in the role OF
Toto" the gay spendcr OF Paris, IS
at his best while such well known
artists as Phoebe Foster. Albert
Brown, Frances Underwood, Jean

The American adoption of Toto
was made by Achmed Abdullah
from the French of Maurice Heune-
uuin and Felix puquesnal and was
staged under the personal direction
of MIR. nitrichstein who is associated
with Lee Shubert in the production.
The play is in four acts and moves
along from one surprising event TO.
another with a rapidity that simply
compels interest. To divulsc the
plot would only tend to spoil the
enjoyment of those who will witness

that no one will regret seeing Mr..
