George Arliss in John Galsworthy' S
"Old English" at English's, Feb.
2S-March IL. Since his opening night
in this play, Mr.. Arliss has been
breaking box-office records where
ever he has appeared. He now is
making his first transcontinental
tour in twelve years.
Mr.. Arliss plays the title role of
"Old English" the name given to
Sylvanus Heythoro by his associates.
This rare old fellow is a pagan at
heart, a great old sinner" an I'M
scrupulous, shrewd, but lovable
octogenarian, who meets his fate as
he lived, unafraid, unrepentant, with
his colors flying. The dinner scene
in the last act already has become
a classic in the history of acting.
The cast includes the players who
impressed New York during the 200
performances OF "Old English" given
there, among them being Irby Mar
shall, the prominent Australian ac-
tress, Molly Johnson, Henrietta Good
win, Dora Lennox, Lillian Bernhard,
