Well, this delightful personality
OF a decade ago-this same Anne
Sutherland who was the toast OF
the town, is again to greet her
local friends and admirers In the
difficult role of Aunty Austen in
George KelIy's dramatic play,
''Craig's Wife" at the National
tomorrow night. It is only within
the last few years that she has
managed to live down the fond
appellation Of "Statuesque Anne,
Sutherland" which has chung to
her since her musical comedy
trtumphs brought her to the crest
OF stage popularity.
Miss Sutherland was born In
Washington, d. c., but as a young
girl she lived for time with an
uncle, leading barrister in Edin-
burgh, Scotland. There she met
the famous literary figures Of the
day, including Thomas Carlyle and
Robert Browning, and was the
particular pet of Browning, who
used to set her on his knee and
read poetry to- her.
Her first appearance before the
footlights was in a juvenile "Pina-
fore" company and she scored her
first professional success In musical
comedy. Because Miss Sutherland
was director of a stock company
in Chicago for a number OF years.
that city has regarded her as its
native daughter. The lure OF the
musical show in time lost its
tenacious hold on Miss Sutherland.
and she drifted into the legitimate
and was soon winning new .laurels
as dramatic actress. Later she
earned distinct triumphs with
outstanding characterizations in
Cheating Cheaters," "The Voice
in the Dark" 1.-THE Cat and the
Canary" and "The Woman Next
Door" In "Craig's Wife" Miss
Sutherland plays the part Of a
broad-visioned, kindly woman Of
poise and culture the maiden
aunt who opens the eyes of her
blind and doting nephew, Walter
Craig, to his wife's shortcomings.
Miss Sutherland also appeared in
stock here at the Garrick,
