We are usual ly terribly impressed and somewhat terrified.

Cedric Hardwicke in Shadow
and Substance" new play by
Paul Vincent Carroll, at the Ma
tional Theater week commenc-
ing Monday evening, January 8.
The supporting cast is headed
by Sara Allgood, Julie Hayden
and William Post, jr. Shadow
and Substance" was first pre-
sented at the Abbey Theater in
Dublin last January and was
hailed as one of the finest of
modern plays. It has been di-
rected by Arthur Shields, who
was in the original production.
Sir Cedric Hardwicke is one
of the graf stars of the theater,
both in this country and in
his native England. His last
appearance on Broadway was in
the title role of The Amazing
DR.. ClitterhouSe." Previously
he had appeared in Promise"
Among his London hits are
'Tovarich," 1.-The Late Christie
pher Bean" and THE Barretts
of Wimpole Street." He has ap-
peared in motion pictures in
both England and Hollywood.
Among his American pictures
are Lies Miserables," "Green
Light" and Becky Sharp"
Sara Allgood was for many
years the shining light Of the
Abbey Theater. Lately she has
been appearing on the London
stage. Julie Hayden made q per-
Sonal triumph in the motion
picture, "The Scoundrel."
This will be the fifth play Of
the American Theater Society
season.

largest crowds of the current
Little Theater season, left its
audience in a state of pleased
surprise. Under the direction
Of c. Adolph Glassgold, the Alex
andria amateurs put on a Grade
A performance.
Dangerous Corner" not at
all an action play, depended al
most entirely for its success
upon easy, well-directed dia-
logue and several of the players
showed exceptional ability.
Outstanding in the cast was
Mrs. Josephine Orendorff, who
took the role of Olwen Peel, so
phiSticated secretary. Running
Mrs. Orendorff a close second
was Julian Green, as Charles
Stanton, publisher. The other
five players, Marguerite Barton,
Abbie Robinson, Mary Ellen
Cato, Thomas Sebrell Sd, and
Joseph Henry Orendorffs were
pleasing in minor roles.
Worthy Of note was the seen
