.THE LATE CHRISTOPHER
BEAN" AT FORD'S THE.
ATRE, BALTIMORE

The second offering of the
American Theatre Society SUBJ
scription series will be "The
Late Christopher Beam" in
which Gilbert Miller is pre-
senting the celebrated actress,
Pauline Lord, and comes to
Ford's Theatre, Baltimore, for
one week beginning October
oath, with matinees Wednes-
day and Saturday, prior to it's
New York opening.
ct he Late Christopher
Bean" is a comedy by Sidney
Howard, who will be remem-
bered as the author of the Pull
itzer Prize play, "They Knew
What They Wanted" "Ned
McCobb's Daughter" 1.-THE Sill
yer Cord" and other successes.
Mr.. Howard, in this play, has
provided Pauline Lord, the UNI
forgettable heroine of Anna
Christie" with as notable a
vehicle for her piquant sense
of humOr and her great per-
sonal magnetism as he did in
They Knew What They Want
ed" in which Miss Lord also
played the leading role.
Writing with all the wit and
vigor that have made him one
of Americas outstanding play
wrights, Sidney Howard tells a
pithy and amusing story of a
New England servant girl, a
New York art critic, a provin-
cial doctors family, and a
painter who, becoming famous
after his death, precipitates
those who befriended him into
the lively complications of sud-
den wealth.
'T h e Late Christopher
Bean" is founded on one of the
most brilliant successes of the
Paris season, "Prenez Garde a
la Peinture," by Rene Fau-
chois.
The company includes such
distinguished players as Walter
Connolly, who will be remem-
bered for his playing opposite
Helen Hayes last season in
Molnar's "The Good Fairy"
and in Uncle Vanya," "Pos-,
session, ''The Happy Hus-
band" and ''Your Uncle Dud-
ley" Beulah Bondi, one of the
leading players of the stage
and screen, Katherine Hirsch,
Clarence Derwent, George
Coulouris and Ernest LaWford.

fumbled lateral pass in the
Wilmington Is yard line. On
the next play Teeter raced
around the end for the initial
score of the game. On two
other occasions Nottingham
marched down the fieldt but a
tumble and consecutive long
penalties halted them. The
half ended at 6 to 0 for Not
tingham.
A pass, Odell to Wood, put
Nottingham in scoring position
in the third period and Arm
strong smashed his way over
the line from the 5 yard line.
After marching from their own
20 to the Wilmington 20, a
short pass, with Bowles re-
ceiving, put the ball on the 4
yard line and from here Teeter
shot off tackle for the final
score of the game.
