OTIS SKINNER
COMING IN
PAPA JUAN

In the new comedy Of Span.
ish life. Papa JUAN" in which
Otis Skinner will appear at the
National beginning Monday
evening, January ~. he is said
to have a delightful role which
he acts with rare charm, and
which has been written Of In
glowing terms by the critics Of
Chicago, New York, Boston and
Philadelphia.
The play is by the Spanish
writer's Serafin and Joaquin Al
varez Quintero, best known in
this country by their other play,
"The Lady from Alfaqueque."
These Brothers Quintero fill
their stage in Papa Juan" with
q variety Of characters, who
smile and quibble and chat over
this and that, who do nothing
very alarming but a great deal
that is amusing; who place no
burdens upon the intellect, and
yet send one away thankful for
an evening well spent.
The story all revolves around
Papa Juan's coming birthday
and the assembling of all Of his
relatives from sons and daugh-
ters to great-grandch dchildren. The
world for him is a smiling
world. Dona Filomena may in.
trude her viXeniSh face, Don
EvariSto may worry himself
sick over nothing at all, dear
Marciala may quibble over pro-
prieties, but what are all these
things viewed as Papa Juan
views them? Mere nothings,
so easily smiled away. Just a
little glimpse Of small-town life,
all this, zone in three delightful
actS-and the sun shining
brightly upon every one of them,
as one gathers from reading the
published play.
Otis Skinner is said to be at
his finest as Papa Juan. To
this haracter which the
authors have delicately etched,
\ Mr.. Skinner lends all the Splen-
did artistry at his command.
