/ Surprising all previous characteri-
cations Margaret Anglins, The
Woman of Bronze" which appeared
only the Prak theatre last night
of the American stage IN all the
facts of her art.
Superb came the criticism of the
play from the patrons and indeed it
was superb, full of pathos but VET
that little touch of comedy which
made it the play of the highest
cal1bre.
Margaret Anglin in the leading role
supported by Fred Erick in the role
of leading man was indeed a wonder
and portrayed her part with the
greatest of feeling Acting her part
as the wife of Erick she DISPLAYED

her husband was knocked from its
pedestal and broken to bits she with

Patrick Griggs who acted as the
friend of Miss Anglin throughout the

making the drama the success ina,
it was
sylvia Mortun who stole Erick,s
heart away and broke up the family
of the two leading characters slow
in the first act but steadily improved
in the remaining two. In the first
act her playing was rather broken
and crude but later on in the play she
showed her superb manner in putting
across her lines. On the whole her
playing was of the highest type ana
the first act must be excused in ap-
probation for the wonderful work she
ibid later in the drama
+ Vera Berhner who PLAYED the part
7 of Mrs. Douglas Graham offered the
management for the evening with her
antics and strange sayings. She acted
the part of one who had gotten rich
over night and at the same time had
not increased her learning and acted
very stupid. She played her part
wonderfully and caused the apprecta-
tive audiences many laughs.
+ Papa BonnelI although not play
ing one of the leading roles must no,
be forgotten when itTcomes to laud-
ing the PLAYERS. His acting through
/ out the play was grand, yes more
than grand and in the role of tr,e
old gentleman he scored a hit which
was we'll deserved.
/ Plays of this type will ALWAYS be
sappreciated in Bridgeport and are
quite a change,
