BANNER WEEK
OF DR. ANA
i AT HAND
Three Stellar Attractions
!: Booked in Leading Legiti-
: mate Houses.

= .NATIONAI4-It is to be said of
.Laurette Taylor that she is al
ways welcome on the local boards.
but it does seem as if she is
going to be doubly welcome at
the National Theater next week
for the reason that the play in
(which she is to be seen is Fannie
sHurst's "Rumoresque," which was
astoundingly successful as filmed
by the Cosmopolitan Corporation.
The new play was staged I'M
der the direction of J. Hartley
Manners and is in three acts 1t
"Opens in the Ghetto in New York,
showing the tenement living room
of the Kantor family The act
closes with the mothers realiza-
ttion that she has a musical
genius in her family-a consum-
nation for which she has been
deVoutly hoping. The second act
rs laid sixteen years later and is
IN room in Symphony Hall in
New York, prior to the concert
being given by young Kantor.
after his tour of Europe. The
last act shows the Kantor family
IN affluence in their home on the
upper west side in New York
There are over thirty characters
m the play.
= POLLS 1.-THE Circle" which
comes to Polls next week, is an
uncommonly interesting piece,
and one that will undoubtedly
command concentrated attention
here. The play is among the best
ever written by w Somerset
Vaughan, and there has been al
most as much praise for the act
ing as for the play itself. Mrs.
Leslie Carter was brought back
TO the American stage after a
long retirement to portray the
faded but still frivolous and fool
lsh victim of a romance long
grown cold, and John Drew was
secured to impersonate the man
who shared with her in the un-
profitable romance. Warm COM
mendation has also been given
the supporting players, among
whom are Ernest Lawford, Je-
rome Patrick. Clara Moores and
Lionel Glenister.
: GARRICk = "Kempy," with
Grant Mitchell and The Nugents
has been established as solid
hit at the Belmont Theatar. New
York and the Selwyn Theater,
Chicago. The attraction is char
acterized as the sort of comedy
that hits the laugh strings of
audiences and much prosperity
is promised for next weeks en-
gagement at the Shubert-Garrick.
= Grant Mitchell is the featured
player~of the company. 1t is not
a. star part for Mr.. Mitchell, but
the love that he has for others
70 succeed. emphaticaIly displays
itself throughout the story and
adds to Mr.. Mitchell's reputation
for being one of the solid star
bits of the country The Nu-
gents-father, son and daughter

play.
