This will please many people
because two performances Of THE

accommodate those who want to
see Miss Cornell in this play.
From a box Office standpoint,
the change will be for the adj
vantage of the company and the

The BarrettS Of Wimpole
Street" is the historic romance of
England's great poets, Robert
Browning and Elizabeth Barrett.
With its scene in Miss Barrett'S
sitting room in Wimpole street,
London, nearly ninety years ago,
the play follows closely the actual
events which began with the meet
of the two writer's and ended with
their elopement to Italy. Miss
