Miss Barrymore gives thrilling
performance of an aged, all-wise
woman on the threshold of death,
but who still clings to her zest for
life to the very last moment.
When, finally, she dies, the loss
seems to be not so much that she
has gone physically as the fact that
each of the younger ones have lost
the influence of this sparkling spirit.
THIS has been not only an exciting
season as far as quality of shows
are concerned, but it has also been
one of the most prosperous box Office
experiences since before the 1929 de-
preston. Even mediocre plays which
had only brief runs reported pleasant
incomes during their short stay.

Of this season are:

NEW YORK.
~ HIS theatrical season finishes
along Broadway as a success
full, profitable one, and with
L most of the hit plays philoso-
phizing on the old-fashioned virtues.
In this corners opinion:
The best play of the season is ION
Borrowed Time" Paul Osborn's
dramatization Of the Lawrence Ed
ward Watkins novel.
The best performance Is Ethel
Barrymore as the 101-year-old grand
mother in "Whiteoaks.'
Dwight Deere Wiman. who came
away from the plow-making business
in the Middle West to become one Of
Broadway's most afhuent producers,
brought "On Borrowed Time" quietly
into town about two months ago and
the first night audience applauded for
more than 20 curtains.
It is bounding along as one of the
most sentimental hits, and with Dud-
ley Digges, Frank Conroy and 7-year-
old Peter Holden giving heart-warm-
ing performances. Digges is the grand
father (Gramps) who is about to die
and who refuses to do so until he has
finished imparting all his wisdom and
advice to his grandson (young
Holden).
Here are all the primary elements
of drama compounded excitingly into
one play-life and death, age and
youth, love and hatred, greed and
nobility.
Miss Barrymore, who has threatened
so often to quit the stage. remains in
the theater, and happily so.
In "Whiteoaks" she is the CEN
tenarian grandmother who humor-
ously, tolerantly rules her almost i'm
poverished grandchildren who hover
about waiting until she dies 70 they
! can inherit her fortune.
