The chorus of exultation emanat-
ing from the Shubert- Belasco pub
licity department when Avery Hop-r
woods THE Demi-Virgfn" began a
fourth week last Sunday night
reached a crescendo that exhausted
superlatives. Therefore, the really
remarkable announcement that
THE Demi-Virgin" must continue
for a fifth week leaves the unhappy
press agent unable to do more than
stutter a few phrases about truly
amazing record that is without
precedent in the history of the
American stage. For it is unques-
tionably fact that no play in the
history of the United States has
ever been presented beyond the
confines of New York, Boston, Phil
adelphia and Chicago for five con-
secutive weeks to capacity business
at the 81 scale of prices. 1t is
probably unnecessary to add that
