PARSONS THEATER

Sophie TreadwelI, the author of
"Loney Lee" the comedy in which
Helen Hayes is to be seen at Parsons
fheater for nights beginning Mon
day, November 18th, with matinee
Wednesday, wrote a play called
'Gringo," that was one of the sue
cesses produced by the old Washing
ton Square players in New York
the organization out of which the
present Theater Guild developed. She
has written some interesting vaude-
vile sketches, too. and in all her
work she seems to have the knac<
of making the audience feel that they
are seeing real people on the stage.
That is because Miss Treadwell always
writes about people she actually
knows. Not that she puts her friends
and acquaintance into her plays, but
she does actually know people who
have traits like her characters. For
instance, she knows several ''Loney"
Lees-as do most persons who are in
terested in the theater and the peo-
pie of it in New York. Scat sale
commences $40 a. IN. Friday.
