ANHALT PLAYERS
OFFER new SKlT
elizabeth Sleeps Out" to
Be Given in SaybrOOk
Next Week

Elizabeth Sleeps Out" the new
farce by Leslie Howard, which the
Shuberts presented at the Bijou
theater with Genevieve Tobin and
its author and Glen Anders in the
featured roles, will be the offering
at the Anhalt New York Players
at Saybrook the week of August
18th. This will be one of the first
presentations of this creamingly
funny farce since the completion Of
its successful run on Broadway.
Elizabeth Sleeps Out"--first,
last and always indescribably
funny--is a clever mixture of the
gravely aristocratic mide -Victori-
antics and the modern freedomites,
Sc. to lines which are the essence
OF sophistication. It's theme is
woven about two middle-aged
spinsters and their 26-year-old
niece who is being trained for the
spinsterhood under their direction.
Into this sombre atmosphere in
trude two young men, and the play
ends with harum -scarum midnight
escapades in the SNUG household
of the spinster family.
Elizabeth Sleeps Out is both
exhilarating and unusually anus
ing. 1t is lively, loquacious and, at
times, hilarious. 1t is naughty but
1t Is never risque.
Elizabeth Sleeps Out" was
played by the stock company at the
Copley in Boston for q ten weeks
run before being brought into New
York and this will give added idea
of the merriment that Leslie How
ard has managed to crowd into a
glorious evening of laughter. The
cast includes all the favorites Of
the Saybrook company: Doris Rich.
Helen Shields. Sarah Perry. Hal
Conklin, Fred Sherman, Burke
Clarke. Connie Reynolds, who
played the lead in Chicago for sew
enteen weeks, has been added to
Saybrook for this engagement.
