OF all. these names none will
have more interest to Washington
audiences than Miss Rings. Her
public here, which is large and
enthusiastic one, will have the
unusual treat of finding their fav-
orite in her first role in a regu-
lar play in many years. The
famous stars last Washington ap-
pearaTlce was. in "The Broadway

But. Avery Hopwood's comedy
gives her an unexcelled oppor-
tunity for her inimitable powers
of characterization. Some of the
old joy of her work in earlier
comedies will doubtless be re.
gained with her interpretation of
the part of a quiet country woman
who is thrown violently into a
gay life in the course of an unex-
pected city experience. Miss Ring
is said to believe the role IS the
best she has. ever had.
