To foreatall all argument, this play ia the nine-act drama, "Strange Interlude," and ita author ia none other than Kugene O'Neill. It will be presented here by the Theatre Guild, Inc., for a limited engagement of one week. It not only won the Pulitzer Prize in 1928 as "the beat play pf the year," but it has broken box office records wherever shown. Many competent critics today are acclaiming Kugene O'Neill as the peer of any living playwright, and they do not except even George Bernard Shaw. Twice before O'Neill walked off with the coveted Pulitzer Prize. This was in 1920 when he produced his "Beyond the Horizon," and again in 1926 with his "Anna Christie." He also has authored "Emperor Jones," "The Hairy Ape," "l>esire Under the Kims," "The Great God Brown," and "All God's Chilluns Got Wings." With this unmatchable. record of past performances, it would be natural to think that no theatre manager could be found who would be so foolhardy as to predict that any play /rom the pen of O'Neill could prove a complete failure. Yet that is exactly what scores of the wisemen of the theatre prophesied before The Theatre Guild put op; "Strange Interlude." Kver since they have kept busy ascribing reasons for its unprecedented success. They all agree that its unusual hours of attendance from 5:30 to 11, with u dinner intermission from 7:40 to 9, had a lot to do with its nation-wide popularity. They also point to its novel "asides," by which the characters voice their innermost thoughts, whether good or bad. Finally, its daring theme is advanced as the chief reason for its great success. A Theatre Guild cast will be brought here, including Elisabeth Risdon, Leonard Mudie, Blaine Cordner, Richard Barbee, Maud Durand, Maurice MoRae, Ethel Westley, John J. Burns and Jack Grattan. .Death of Mrs. Mary \L. Alexander . Mrs..., Mary L.
