Frances Starr has created eight
of the most widely-diversified char
acters that have fallen to the lot
of any young actress-ten to be

them were dual parts. One Of the
most successful roles that she has
created Is that of Laura Murdoch
in David BelsSco's production OF
Eugene Walters play. The Easiest
Way" 1t is in this role that Miss
Starr will be seen at the National
this week.
1t is interesting to consider the
wide range of characterizations
that Miss Starr has covered as a
Belasco star. During her starring
engagements she has appeared in
plays that were widely different,
playing dual roles in two OF them
and impersonating women OF va7
rious nationalities andGn air walks
of life. In each instance, she i'm
bued her portrayal with such fdel-
ity and made every character SUCH

became vivid memories to theater-
goers.
Miss Starr first won high honors
as the Spanish girl in "The Rose OF
the Rancho" She was also seen as
the girl of dual natures in The
Case of Becky" the leading role OF
which subjected her to one off the
severest of tests
Jealousy was the keyncte to Miss
Starts next role, that of Gabrielle
Janelot in Henri Bernstein's drama,
the Secret" That was part that
made strenuous demands and so
vivid, was Miss Starts impersona-
tiori of the woman who hates to see
others happy unless she was instru-
mental in causing it that, her char
acterization was pronounced flaw

To prove that her long experience
in emotional roles had not dulled

Miss Starr was next presented by

conception Of the young English
governess easily took rank with the
other fine things she has done.
Three seasons ago Miss Starr ap-

plays, "TigerI Tiger!" in which she
portrayed the young English cook.

formed the theme of the play. Here
again she. completely submerged
herself into the character she was
playing.
/ The third of Mr.. Knoblock's plays
was One in which Miss Starr was
seen last season, and in which her
representation of the twin sisters
who possessed between them but
one soul revealed another side of
her artistry.
There is much interest connected
with Miss Stars appearance as
Laura Murdoch in The Easiest
Way" for her portrayal OF this
character has played an important
part in establishing the prominent
position she holds in the theater.
After having proved her versatility,
Miss Starr has enriched her por-
trayal of Laura Murdoch with the
wide experience which she has
gained, and now she Is to be seen
in the best role of her entire
career.

WHAT'S WHAT. IN
NEW YORK. .
By WALTER F. EBERHARDT.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-For the week
to come, three openings are promised:
THE Blue Kitten a musical piece
at the Selwyn; Rosie" at the Licking
ton, and He Who Gets Slapped" a
Theater Guild production with Rich
ard Bennett, at the Garrick.
Bulldog Drummond" continues as
the most talked OF production among
recent openings. 1t is red-hot, rip
roaring melodrama that turns 1.-The
White Heather" into a pastoral idylI
and THE Bat" into a recital of
nursery rhymes.
The plot can be hastily sketched
as follows: ActI, scene I: The
Bulldog is bored: Act l., scene II:
The Bulldog arrives on the scene OF
action; Act II. scene I: The Bull
dog shoots out the lights; Act II.
scene II: The Bulldog Is thwarted
and almost drilled; Act, III scene /:
The Bulldog Is captured and drilled !;
Act III, scene II: Right triumphs.
'The Squaw Man" revived by the
Shuberts with competent cast
brings the theater up to date with
the movies, the story having been
made twice for the screen In tne
revival, William Faversham plays
his accustomed role with effective
intonations and has excellent sup
port despite the fact that the original
cast included Theodore Roberts and
William S. Hart. r..
THE Steamship Tenacity" docked
at the Belmont Theater early in the
week with a passenger list of two
Partisan printers, a waitress from a
French seacoast town and numerous
secondary charactGs. The trip over
was probably a stormy one, for the
play seems to have suffered in its
transition from the French of Charles
Yildnac. The atmosphere has become
distinctly American and. the story of
the seduction of a waitress by the
seemingly stronger-mfnded Of the two
printers. who deserts his tcomrade
about to sail for Canada. in order to
run away with his charmer, Is. one
that must be recommended as a mat
ter of individual taste. Marguerite
Forrest proves an attractive coquette
worthy of inspiring lovers.

Gilda varesPs love and under

heritance.
The star Of Enter Madame" at
the Garrick this week, Is the daugh-
ter of an italian, and both her
grandfather and her mother were
opera singers of note in their, ma
tive country. Her grandfather was
none other than Felice varesi, prob
ably the most famous baritone of
his day, and the creator of many
roles OF the operas of Verdi's mid
die years. Miss varesi's mother
was famed for her rendition Of the
role Of Gilda in "Rigoletto." and
the star of Enter Madame" was
named after this character I
Miss Varesi's stage career started
in this country when she was a
very young girl. She was only in
her teens when she Joined the or
Canization headed by Nine. Nodes

From the day that Miss Varesi be-
came a member of the Polish TRACE
dienne's company her advancement
was rapid.
Mime. Modjeska quickly formed a
decided liking for the bright and
alert little Italian actress, and soon
discovered that the newcomer pos
sessed unusual stage talents that
needed but the proper development
to make their owner an outstanding
figure of the theater.
Unfortunately for Miss varesi,
Nine. Modjeska was at the time
suffering the first visitations of the
Illness which was soon to bring
about her retirement from stage
life, and though the many indispo-
sitions of the tragedienne gave the
younger woman opportunities of
appearing in the big roles that she
was understanding, the engage
ment proved to be of only sea-
sons duration. "
Going to New York, Miss varesi
secured a part in Mrs. Fishes pro-
duction of Salvation Nell" and for
some time she remained in the COM
pany of that star. Later she orig
mated the part of the old opera
singer in Romance and accompa- :
