TWO STARS OPEN
MONDAY AT CYCLISTS.

''The Famous Mrs. Fair" with Blanche
Bates and Henry Miller, will open a
three-day engagement at English's on
Monday night.
Here is presented an ordinary family
of means, such as may be duplicated by
the thousands in any large American
city. Father, mother, son and daughter,
all are average folk, and the domestic
difficulty in which they become involved
is equally commonplace.
Yet the interest aroused Is absorbing
and the effect produced intense, because
Mr. Forbes has created genuine living
characters, and lent to their troubles Al.
the poignancy of humanity and truth.
Thus, with the acting equally attuned
to reality-as it is at the hands of these
capable players-the lesson of "The Fa-
nous Mrs. Fair" Is brought home with
peculiar intimacy and enforced appeal.
One says lesson, and yet this potent
social play is one of those rare compo-
sitions-a problem play without argu-
ment or sermonizing by the author. The
audience is left severely alone to draw
its own conclusions from the experiences
of the characters.
Mrs Fair played with much womanly
charm by Miss Bates, is typical of the
majority Of American women who took
up war work in France. Her rather
stodgy business husband, like the mat
ter-of- fact son and undeveloped daugh-
ter, put up with her absence under the
stimulus Of the spirit Of wartime sacri-

and, fed up by publicity and notoriety.
seeks a large field for her overestimated
abilities on the lecture platform, that
the mischief of her emancipation begins
to work.
The family strenuously opposes her
course, but she advances the familiar
plea Of the feminist that, if a man can
have a career outside the home, why not
the woman?
The result is that the husband finds
desperate solace with a designing lady of
the neighborhood that the daughter,
starving for maternal love, gets into bad
company, and that the whole family es-
Enlistment totters on the brink of ruin
Mrs. Fair who is, after all, woman
Of right principles is shocked back into
the recognition Of her manifest limita-
lions and true responsibilities by the
narrowly averted tragedy. She realizes
that it ds impossible for her, at least. to
serve two masters-the home and the
pubic-and she chooses the home

FRANCIS STARR
BOOKED AT ENGLISH's.

IAN American play concerning a par
ticular phase of New York life," is the
phrase used by Eugene Walter to de-
scribe his play, 1.-The Easiest Way"
with which David Belasco opened Frances
STAIRS season In New York last August
and which Is her play for the season.
Miss Starr comes to English's for three
days beginning Thursday, Feb. 4.
Miss Starr is said to have achieved
remarkable personal success In the role
OF Laura Murdoch and that her acting
Of the part overshadows any other i'm
personation she has yet given. OF Mr..
Walters designation Of his play, it is
not broad enough.
The phase Of life which he exploits is
common enough to all metropolitan life,
though It is admitted that the tempta-
tons Of the first city Of the land tend
to accentuate this condition and TO make
more common the situations treated on
by the playwright, But Mr.. Walters play
is none the less powerful for that

liam Harris, Jr., will present for the
first time to local audiences at the Murat
for a three night engagement, beginning
Thursday night, and with matinee Sat

Once OF twice in a generation there
comes to the theater a character which
dominates all hearts and stands out
through the following years as a
beautiful memory. Such for instance,
was peg Only Heart" and such again
is the Ming Toy of Fay BANTER. Miss
Bainter, old in experience but young in
years, will undoubtedly add MANY
notable characters to her gallery Of stage
portraits, but it is safe to believe that
never viii she have one to more surely
win the heart of the public than Ming
Toy. It is the varied, lovable, human
quality of this little Chinese girl which
has the great appeal and her efforts to
assume the ways Of the occident are so
charming that they entertain consistent
ly.
A feature Of East fs West" is the
incidental music to harmonic with the
Chtnese-American story, written specially
for it by Robert Hood Bowers. Mr..
Bowers is also the composer of the
"Chinese Lullaby" sung by Miss Banter
during the action Of the play.
William Harris, Jr., has supplied Miss
Banter with an unusually capable sup
porting company, which includes among
others Ralph Locks as Charlie Yang

Mr.. Dwan wrote the story OF The Sin

It's heroine is a sweet, pure girl whose
father, a narrow minded, tyrannical man,
resented her acceptance Of the well-mean-
ing intentions Of the man whom she
really love. He conceived the idea that
