nobody would even have known that
she was a gifted emotional actress
with great charm and personality and
now the center of interest in "A Good
Bad Woman" which comes to Poll s
Theater today.
The turn of wheel Of chance could
he rdly have been more uncertain tha n
the career Of this young lady. She
had appeared as one of the ma sses in
Simon Called Peter" for 12 weeks
and had acted in the part in a Ho-
boken stock company. and before that
had enjoyed a nice, long sea son as an
understudy in Belasco's THE. Mer-
chant of Venice But three weeks ago
she was broke. She had never really
had big part and her parents wanted
her to come on home. Fate, however.
Is kind at times. and it happened that
Miss Evans dropped in to see George
Davis, hoping against hope that she
would not have to give up her dream
of the playworld, and 1t just happened
that she was admirably suited for the
difficult role Of Mary Ferris and got
her chance.
And all this might never have been
realized had Miss Evans gone home

Other scenes were screened at the foot
OF huge glacier, thousands of years

climb of q miles, most of it over a

Because of the extreme height of the

NATIONAI-"The Tale of the Wolf.

The American premiere of what Is
claimed to be F'erenc Molnar's hest
play will occur at the National
Theater on Monday evening. This
famous Hungarian writer. IT will he
recalled. Is the author of The
Swan" "Liliom" and The Guards
Nman."
The basic idea of the Tale of the
| Wof'' which is the title of the new
play, is the study of the psychology
of a womans mind. which is said to
be presented in an amusing and
| sophisticated way by the celebrated
Hungarian.
There are three acts. The first act
represents a scene in a fashionable
restaurant where two soldiers are
dining. Presently husband and wife
enter. The husband is petulant and
| insanely jealous. They quarrel, the
| wife patiently restraining herself
| Presently another gentleman enters
and is seated at a nearby table. A
surprised glance on the part Of the
woman indicates to the husband that
his wife recognizes the newcomer.
The long. angry colloquies of husband
and wife in the second act reveal the
relation. She had once known the
| man, but three years before her mar.
riage he had passed completely out
of her life. On the basis of this ad.
mission the madly jealous husband
builds phantom structure of un-
generous suspicion around his loyal
wife.
The two remaining parts are the
visions that pass before the wife's
eyes after she has thrown herself
| despairingly into an armchair and
dreams. The man has returned to
claim her. He comes first as diplo-
mat of brilliant fame, again he ap.
pears as famous opera singer and
lastly as a miserable beggar. In the
denouement the husba nd and wife are
happily linked together.
Wallace Eddinger will be seen as
the lover. Roland Young as the sus-
picious husba nd and Phyllis Povah
as the wife. The play will be staged
is the work of Melville Baker, who
| adapted THE Swan The production
| is sponsored by the Charles Frohmah
Co. and staged under the direction Of
Frank Reicher.
