to her family that a woman of 40

sacrifice her pride and selfrespect, but
willing that the world estimate her at
it's worst if it will bring back to a
decent hearthside her errant family

COME of the early sequences in

about reunion and regeneration of

A burlesque stage. with it's gaudy
paper hollyhocks and detachable
moon, was faithfully reproduced. and
the casting director ransacked Broad

to have contained the following:
Alvia McGill, THE Persian Night

with such companies as THE Win
ners," "The Garden of Girls and
"The Gay White Way; Florence
Doran, former prima donna of Pail
Mall" Around the Town and "The

New Owen Davis PLAY.

OWEN DAVIS is the Lope de Vega
of the contemporary drama. Lope
was the most prolific playwright of
his time, or OF all time. Mr.. Davis is
certainly the most prolific of this.
Mr. Davis range, dramatically
speaking, is almost inexhaustible. He
started as a writer of melodrama, and
now talks amusingly of the days when
he had the 'melodrama market cor
nered," SO to speak.
At one time he had II melodramas
of the ten, twent, thirt" school tour
ing the country at the same time.
Sitting i'm galleries as boy, Mr.. Davis
learned by watching and listening the
reactions of audiences. Today there
Is probably no one in the theater
whose instinct for the effective situa
ton or scene is surer than Mr.. Davis.
With Ice Bound" Owen Davis won
the Pulitzer prize. Last year his
dramatization of The Great Gatsby."
Scott Fitzgerald's novel, was a model
in this genre. The coming season
Crosby Gaige will produce THE Man
Who Forgot" which Mr. Davis wrote
in collaboration with s. y. Behrman.
The play is described as psyche
logical melodrama" and Air. Davis con-
siders that it has dramatic situation
strikingly unique.

THE coming of Ethel Barrymore,
Americas distinguished dramatic
star, is always a matter of pleasant
anticipation. 1t doesn't matter what
may he her play. the keenest interest
is always manifested in the actress

Barrymore has devoted her efforts to
vaudeville, with Sir ]. NJ. Barrie's
'The Twelve-Pound Look" as her
vehicle. And now again, following

patrons of Keith's, who in the past
