comical scenes with which the
play is plentifully oesprinkled.

Barbara Kent's entry into pic

two personality contests, one in

NEW PLAY, PEPYS
AT BELASCO
THURSDAY

The Messrs. Shubert will pre-
sent James B. Fagan's production
of his own comedy "And So To
Bed" based on the diary Of Sam
uel Pepys, with the original Eng
lish company at the Belasco
Theater, on October 20, Thursday
night, for three days only, prior
to its New York presentation.
In speaking of the play, which
he has written, Mr.. Pagan says:
For many years had been fas-
cinated by the idea Of putting
Mr.. Pepys on the stage. But any
attempt to dramatize the diary
would result in a scrappy type
of chronicle play which would
fail TO give a living portrait OF
the Diarist. So / began where
the diary ended. and placed my
play in June, 1869. a few days
after the last entry. To those
who may object that I have not
shown the grave, sober Pepys, the
secretary of state. the father of
the British Admiralty. can only
say that all that belongs to a
later chapter, and that hap
pened to catch him as the
amorous rogue on an afternoon
that was all comedy.
Yvonne Arnaud will play the
role of Mrs. Pepys, Fred O'Dono-
van as Pepys, Mary Grey will be
Mrs. knight and Charles Bryant
will play King Charles the Sec
ond. with a supporting cast of
well known English Players in.
