BARR WHORE TO
GIVE TWO PLAYS

The return Of Ethel Barr more to
theh local stage promises to be an
event of unusual interest, as it marks
the appearance of the actress here
in two unusual plays. Under the
MANAGEMENT of Lee Shubert, Miss
Barrymore will be seen at English's
three days only, beginning on Mon
day. Feb. 10, with a matinee on
Wednesday. G.. Martinez Sierra S,
THE Kingdom of God" translated
by Helen and H. Granville-Barker,
will be acted on Monday and Tues
day nights, and Lii Hatvany'S. THE
Love Duel" adapted by Zoe Atkins,
will be played Wednesday matinee
and night only.
The Kingdom of God" is far re-
moved from the kind of entertain
ment which has flooded the Amer
lean stage in recent years. 1t is
unworldly, serious. searching into
the lives of certain classes of hu-
mainly. Sierra is also the author
of The Cradle Song" which Eva
LIE Gallienne produced. In THE
Kingdom of Cod Miss Barrymore is
seen in the role of Sister Cracia,
first at the age of 10, then at 90 and
finally as an old woman of 70. This
is not, however, a religious drama,
nor is Sister Gracia nun.
The Love Duel" is sophisticated
and cynical, giving the actress
role in great contrast to that she
plays in the Spanish drama. Baro-
ness Hatvany has taken her char
acters and story from the lives of
two people we'll known in European
social circles Zoe Atkins, who made
the American version of drama. is
herself a playwright of repute and
author of "Declasee," in which Miss
Barrymore starred.
Since her debut at the age of IA,
Miss Barrymore has acted many
parts in plays by such diverse auth
ors as Shakespeare, Sheridan.
Pinero, ISben, Somerset Vaughan,
James NJ. Barrie, Clyde Fitch, Ed
ward Sheldon, Dumas and Henry
Arthur Jones. Her ambitious roper
tory plans include a Greek drama,
another Shakespearean tragedy and
revivals of productions in which she
has already appeared, as we'll as new
plays. among which will be Julia

be presented in New York next fall.

The great audiences attracted to
English's this week to see THE New

at any time when the real article
comes along. Nelson Trowbridge at
the Shubert in Cincinnati had one
of his biggest weeks in years with
this same show and cast. Even
capacity at times has been the rule
with standing room at English's this
week.
And Ethel Barrymore in her
three day engagement will go to

"VANITIES" is
BOOKED HERE


When the seventh edition Of the
Earl Carroll "Vanities," with a COM
pany of 100 people opens at Eng
lish's, Feb. II, for three days, the
playgoers of this city will see the
latest "Vanities" of the series for it
is in this one that w. G. Fields is
starred.
In order to obtain the services of
Fields, Carroll had to break tradi-
ton and for the first time player
is billed over the famous trademark
-"Vanities."
Plus the comical antics of w. G.
Fields, which adds to the merriment
Of the evenings fare, there is the
presence of Dorothy Britton which
adds to the beauty of the night.
Miss Britton is the lass who won
the Galveston International Beauty
contest in competition with the
foremost beauties Of America and
Europe and earned the title of Miss
Universe" Under the guidance of
Earl Carroll, Miss Britton has adj
vanced through "Fioretta" and
Sketch Book" from the position of
merely a featured beauty to a prin-
cipal of note, with lines to speak and
things to do
Surrounding Miss Universe" there
is beautiful chorus Of f1fty-SiX
girls, many of whom are beauty
contest winners themselves and who
have at least the claim of being the
highest priced chorus in the history
of show business for they are re-
ceiving from $75 weekly to $3.50 a
week.
The best talent from all depart
ments of theatrical endeavor went
into making this "VanitieS" the best
of the series. Most of the sketches
we're written by w. c. Fields him.
self and the additional dialogue is
by Eddie WEIGH, who is noted for
the comedy touches of many a
Broadway hit.
The gradueur and Splendor of this
revue will startle you, for never be-
fore has there been a scene as beau
tiful as THE Temple of Mythology, "
scene which actually ends in a
blaze of fireworks. Then there is
the Mechanical Ballet" as original
number as there ever was in re-
yue. And as for a scene of sheer
excellence, you are referred to the
"Raquel' number, one which has all
the charm of old Spain.
Outstanding among the principals
are the names of Ben Blue, The
Bennett Boys, joey Ray, Grace
Wells, Dorothy Lull and Paul Rus

under special. sanctified licenses.
And it's Sacrilege to doubt the
beauty, wisdom and heavenly
origin Of anyene's love.
Such Is the idiotic tradition
concerning love. The truth is
that heaven has mighty little,
if anything, to do with our af-
fections. Love is as earthly as
the human source from which
it originates. 1t Is beautiful or
blah according to what-have-
you. 1t is ecStatic, or just
static, according to your indi-
vidual station. It is as wise,
as generous, as loyal, as tender,
as your individual character.
If you're a gift to humanity,
then your love will be a gilt
too. But if you're a pain IN
the neck, your love will be like
wise. Not all love is divine
nor even desirable. SOME
PEOPLE SHOULD RECEIVE
MEDALS FOR THE WAY
THEY LOVE. AND OTHERS
SHOULD RECEIVE FROM SIX
MONTHS TO LIFE.
So don't act as If you've
stepped into the god class. just
because you love. Maybe you've
done something. And again
