three vote, Albert Meurer, SPRING

ON STAGE

Never in her notable career on
the stage or the screen has the
beautiful Pauline Frederick found
role better displaying her
beauty, her variety and her ex-
quisite speaking voice than in
"The Scarlet Woman" coming to
the Shubert Belasco Theater No
vember 4, for one week. In this
comedy the welI-knowh Zelda
Sears and Reita Lambert have
collaborated. Miss Fred9rick
plays the part of a demure
heroine. Having devoted her life
to her father, a famous college
professor. she goes to New York
after his death and lets the home
folks know that she intends to
have a fling. A year later she
returns with a baby. She says
she adopted it. but before day
is passed the whole town is talk

The complications are so anus
ing that the play provides laugh

Agatha, and tense dramatic
situation
Zelda Sears, one of the most
successful women playwrights in
America, wrote this comedy suc-

comedy character in it. The sup
porting cast includes Thomas

Margaret Bird, j. Morry Foster,

Miss Frederick was so warmly
received by Detroit audiences in
"The Imperfect Lady (which has
since been called The Scarlet

on the Pacific Coast and is said
to be Miss Frederick's greatest

QUEEN ETHEL
TN A FINE
DRAMA

Before a great audience which
numbered ain91ag 1t the President
and Mrs. Coolidge. Ethel. Barry
more last night gave adequate
demonstration Of her genius.
The theater was Pcli's, The
play was THE Kingdom Of God
from the pen of q. Martinez
Sierra, the Spaniard whose handi.
work was seen last season in Eva
LIE Gallienne's production OF The
Cradle Song"
Again, Sierra has gone to the
nuns for his theme. although this
time the good sisters belong to
an order which permit them either
to renew their vows each year
or to return to the world at the
end of a twelye-month.
Again, the playwright has
brought to the stage gentle
philosophy, an adroit pen and
an uncannily keen sense Of the
trifIes that make his characters
SO intensely alive.
"'The X ingdo1n OF God" Is good
enough to stand by itself, without
the aid of the Barrymore name
and the Barrymore personality.
But these enhance the merits OF
the play. and of the thousands
who will see this production dur.
ing the week, it Is difficult TO
imagine how anyone could be
disappointed in it.
For two full acts, the drama
moved evenly along, sparkling

onIy the slightest hint Of the
rnagnfficence Of Sierra's idea
The last act brought out the
amazing climax, in burst Of
beauty and glory of fulfillment.
At this point, Miss Barrymore
reached the heights. Her audience

ten years later, in the sordid

maternity home, where a
physician falls in love with
! Sister Gracia, who renounces love
to continue in the sisterhood;
finally, in an Orphanage where,
at 20, she teaches the little ones
her lesson of life.
The point may we'll be made
that an audience should not have
to sit through almost an entire
play before knowing whittier it

ment is all right and. in fact,
essential for most opera with the
mystery label Sierra might
have been little more consider
ate of his public.
However, such complaints seem
captious against the great power
of the third act. The play closes
with real majesty, and always

"Dracula, current attraction at

Based on the book by Bran
Stoker, "Dracula. Is the story Of
the undead--the vampire who N
human guise, lives on the blood
OF mortals, finally bringing the
victim into the unclean brother
hood OF those who live in death.
The old superstition that, when
a man or woman dies because
their 1ife-blood was drained by
the unclean clan, they, too, live
in death. comes from Transyl.
vania, and in some parts Of our
own country Is accepted as fact
by the 'superstitious.
The play is masterpiece that
stands in class alone. The
ordinary mystery play, the type
where hands shoot out of chairs
and mysterious shots are fired,
fades into insignifance when com
pared to Dracula.'
While the book opens in Transyl-
vania, the home of Count Ora.
cula, who has been living III
death for five centuries, the play
starts in the home of Lucy, Sc
lected as the bride OF the vampire.
The action runs smoothly through
out and the plans of one Van
Helsing. an authority on the ac-
tions of the undead, to defeat
the purposes of the vampire, un

It would be difficult to pick out
any member of the cast TO hand
signal honors for their work in
''Dracula" they could not have
been better chosen for their
respective roles.
Bernard Jukes as the half

watch perform. Raymond Hunt

Margot Lester is not only
charming but is an excellent
actress, and does the most that
can be done with part that is
most difficult.
Order your tickets for "Dracula''
