THE f3PSfdA@G:
ErHrU RARRYMOREL

II is seldom that an actress. even
as secure in the esteem of playgoers
as Ethel Barrymore. or a play as
widely heralded as Miss Zoe Atkins
"Declasse." somes to us preceded by
preliminary reports more warmly
enthusiastic, and it will be pleasing
news to those theatregoers eagerly
awaiting both that the local engage
ment is to occur az the Playhouse
for four performances beginning
Monday evening, November 21.
In "Delcasse." It will be recalled,
Miss Barrymore occupied the stage
OF the New York Empire Theatre
for one entire season and during
that long metropolitan engagement.
from early October OF one year until
late June OF the next, the most pop
ular among our American actresses
received series of ovations unique
in the history OF the stage.
Throughout that whole season the
Empire Theatre contained no un-
occupied seats and this Same un-
usual record has been maintained in
every city wherein she has appeared
during her present tour in Miss
AlSins' play.
Miss Barrymore in 'Delcasse" is
seen as Lady Helen Haden. a young
English woman Of aristocratic birth
and breeding to whom, through no
fault OF her own save an inherited
recklessness. unhappy circumstances
bring matrimonial disaster. Adrift
from her accustomed surroundings
Lady Haden is next seen in New
York. the center of gay group Of
unusual people. with happiness
seemingly almost within her grasp
her adventures in this country come
to close in a final gripping and pa
thetic note OF tragedy.
A splendid company surrounds
Miss Barrymore. including Edward
Emery, Henry Daniel, Cyril Dele
vanu. Philip Lord, Charles Welles-
ley. Hubbard Kirkpatrick. Alfred
Hesse. w. G. Leith, Alfred LeHay,
Irhy Marshall. Virginia Chauvenet.

The plot revolves about a young
