more. 1t was done with such suc-'
cess, in fact, by these capable people
that the author discovered himself
applauding his own play at the end
of the second act.
This was duly recorded, of course,
in these columns a week ago. but 1t
should be further impressed that Mr..
Bullock is not the sort of a lad to
sit around clapping his hands in
ecstasy at the sight of his own work.
Instead, he is reported to be rather
shy young fellow, who became bit
discouraged with his own ability as
a playwright after seeing Lady OF
Letters" mauled about by a foreign
director who didn't understand its
native United States wit and who
changed it for Broadway to the plays
detriment.
Mr. Bullock. It's said, felt the glori-
saw his comedy done by these people
in Baltimore from his original ver-
sion. Lady of Letters" will be per-
formed here by the same cast.
The same cast" means principally
Grace and Helen Rogers. Grace and
Helen decided while back they
should contribute something to the
cause of world peace. decided further
that what they had most to con-
tribute was a talent for the stage.
So that's why they are doing Lady
of Letters" Receipts are divided be-
tween the churches sponsoring the
various performances and organlZa-
tions promoting world peace.
Grace is playing the leading role
in the comedy while Sister Helen has
directed the play and plays an i'm
portant supporting part. 1t has been
reported here, also. what the critics
up Baltimore way think of their
talents.
Others in the cast, some with pro-
fessional experience. some with only
semi-professional background, and all
we'll thought of in their home town.

Page Wickes, Alexander Boase, j.

cast. Florence Rice, local girl and
not Grantland's movieland daughter,
is playing one of the supporting roles.
