In the secret say that her Juliet will
pleasantly surprise even her greatest ad-
mirers. II Is known that some of Miss
Cowl's friends and advisers in the
theater have been urging her for long
time to play Shakespeare and have sug-
gested her as an ideal Juliet. She has
represented Shakespearean characters In
Equity pageants, but never has played
a Shakespearean role on the stage.
Rollo Peters Is designing the settings
for the production which will be- an
elaborate and beautiful one.
Miss Cowrs last role rere was In

not achieve success Miss Cowl's work
was generally praised. She has large
following both in New York and also on
the road, where attractions in which
