His teammate in the New Haven
swim club, Jimmy McLane. bettered
by two-tenths of second the AM

in 1912 by Bill Smith of Hawaii
for the 220-yard freestyle.
Catching the record fe-
yer, the Cincinnati trio of Dick

bled his way into an enormous debt

De Glasse as a pledge.
Determined to cancel this obliga-

umphs over an utterly sordid at

not usually found dallying with
material as subtle and eloquent as

she does not play her own inva-
lidism. Tragic as it is, and as
widely known, she is not playing
the misfortune that affected Susan
Peters. She acts rather the illness
of Elizabeth Barrett which is what
the play calls for and it is one of
the most engrossing pieces of act
ing theatergoers are privileged to
see.
Her heroine is a glowing ex-
cerpt from romantic history. She
is physically helpless but spiritu-
ally invincible and irresistible
She triumphs over an evil father,
tames the most tempestuous of
lovers. but most of all she con-
quers the completely maleyolent
fate that pursues her from child
hood.
1t is a role of enormous range
that must be played in the area
of a straight-jacket.. 1t is one
that any actress would be excused
for evading, especially after Miss
Cornell made it so spectacularly
her own. Miss Peters evades not
its most crushing challenge. She
plays it with a fire, grace and
beauty that are the more memo
rable for being far more single
handed job than when Miss Cor
nell was Miss Barrett.

that the drama on the stage was

Few actresses have had to face
such excited competition as that
represented by a complete cross
section of Washingtonians who
seemed astonished to find them
selves once more in a theater.
If Ninth street is too realistic
a thoroughfare to delude itself
that it had moved uptown, it at
least had the satisfaction of know
ing that uptown had moved down
to Ninth street.
At the center of this slightly
psychotic atmosphere, Miss Peters
ca..ied herself with the nobility
and mercurial spirit of a-an
Elizabeth Barrett Browning. A
nicer girl could not do a nicer
thing for a nicer city.

Miss Peters portrait of the great
spirited invalid who captured a
falcon in Robert Browning more
than underScored the excellence
with which she did the same thing
last summer at Olney. 1t was
more difficult this time and not
merely because of the external
drama.
Gone now was the free spirit
of summer theater production and
the easy standard that goes with
it. This is a more formal Bar
retts," a road company that has
been performing for several
months. 1t has been directed, as
such groups all too often are, with
the excess usually devoted to ele-
phant acts when the circus is
holding winter rehearsals.
Miss Peters does not succumb
to this temptation. She keeps
properly delicate sense of Eliza
