THE VARYING Shore"


THE immutability OF a great love
is the theme of 1.-THE Varying
Shore" the vehicle in which Miss
Elsie Ferguson has returned to the
stage, and in which she will be seen
at the National Theater for the
week commencing tomorrow night.
Miss Ferguson's appearance this
season gains importance from the
fact that she has just concluded
her most brilliant engagement in
the metropolis, and scored her most
important triumph. This love,
having it's inception in the early
days OF two persons, proves big
enough to endure throughout the
span Of their existence, and even
into the Great Beyond. for at the
end the ghost OF the girl calls her
sweetheart across the line to keep
her company.
The story Is presented in novel
form-that is backward--as one
reviews real life. Miss Ferguson's
role ranges from that of an aged
woman to girl Of sixteen. 1t is
a role of delightful contrasts that
affords unusual latitude for this

During one of the sequences it was
necessary to put a diphtheria sign on

of a passing policeman, who had great
difficulty in getting her to her feet.
He had no more than quoted the ex-
cited woman when another mother, a
young blonde of the baby doll type,
spied the sign. She, too. threw a fit,
and the policeman soon found his
hands full. AS the clans commenced to

Edward Horton, who has the leading
role in the production, came to the
