Stella Dallas. "

Mrs. Leslie Carter. the Heart of
Maryland" the Zaza, the du Barry
OF other days. has created yet another
role--Stella Dallas-by no means
the least to her credit.
In the play of that name from the
novel OF Olive Higgins Prouty, which
opened at Polls Theater last night,
Mrs. Carters mastery of emotional
acting is revealed again. There is
misery. sacrifice, tragedy-bur not the
misery and tragedy of Il, woman who
has loved too much and wrongly, as in
some OF her former parts. 1t is the
sacrifice of a mother. sacrifice for
her daughter. triumphant in the end
at bitter cost to the mother. 1t Is
4 part In which Mrs. Carter shows
once more to the theater-g going pub
lie her artistry.
The authors. Gertrude Purcell and
Harry Wagstaff Gribble, have writ
ton a play that is full of "human in
terest." 1t commingles pathos and
humor-found in most human affairs.
1t contains some Senttmentality, but
that can be forgiven. 1t is consistent.
for the story deals ruthiessly III cause
and effect.
Mother love is the great underlying
theme. 1t is human habit for par
cnts to give to their children. to sac
flee until the end, 1t is human for
the children to accept and in their
turn 20 become parents and continue
the chain of sacrifice.
Stella Dallas is the victim of d
meSalliance. Her husband. in the first
flush OF love, made a bargain, d con-
tract-the marriage contract which so
often is regarded as mere scrap of
paper-with Stella. and then because
she murdered the queens English
because she had tastes that differed
from his. because she did not keep
pace socially with him, he deserted
her
Stella becomes a grass widow. Her
daughter is the apple of her eye. Her
upbringing is making of her a vastly
different kind of woman from Stella
except in heart and honor. 1t is
the mothers wish that the daughter
shall move in the circles to which
her father now belongs. 1t is to that
end that Stella makes the final great
sacrifice. driving her daughter from
her in disgust because of the moth
er's marriage to A drunkard, a drug
addict, a marriage designed purpose
" to throw the daughter into the
arms of her father and his new wife.
Il am the happiest woman in the
world" is the final comment of Stella
gone without word Of forewell,
her newly welded drug addict tied
like a millstone round her neck.
Despite the tragedy, there is q
wealth of amusing incident and
clever lines and good character

porting cast for Mrs. Carter. Mar

The Tigers have nine more games
to play. If they should happen to
win all nine of them, the leading
Yanks and Washington Senators
would have to win only five out Of
their remaining eleven games to fin
ish ahead of them.
