But the Guild, which is operated for nobody’s profit, called Tehearsals for a new production to al- ternate with ‘Elizabeth the Queen’ as soon as its players had caught their breath. At the same time reassuring word was sent along to Washington, Boston, St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee (home of Mr. Lunt), Minneapolis, De- troit, Cleveland and Ruffalo . . . that no matter how long the line of the Guild box office in New Yerk ‘Elizabeth the Queen’ and its notable actors would wisit them in the Spring. “It is because they know that this eompact will be kept that playgoers in these cities are buying their seats now. It is because they have been thus dealt with in the past that only the Guild has an already mobilized audience awaiting {ts players when it goes on toul So the Guild adds a new chapter to its unique history by taking “Elizabeth the Queen,” by Maxwell Anderson, with Fontanne and Lunt, out of its highly ‘prosperous moorings in the Martin Beck Theater, New York, and sending the en- tire production, revolving stage and all, to the key cities. “Street Scene,” Belasco, Sunday Evening. $(QTREET SCENE.” Elmer Rice's grip- *? ping drama of human nature, commences a week's engagement at the Shubert-Belasco Theater Sunday night. This play, which won the Pulitzer Prize, which has a record of 600 per- formances in New York City and is now running in London and Berlin, has been universally acclaimed as one of the | greateg) of contemporary dramas. The title “Street Scene” is derived | from the setting—a city apartment | house and the adjacent street. From | the variegated activities of the apart- ment-house dwellers and the passers-by, some 50 definite characters in all, Mr. | Rice draws an absorbing story inter- | weaving the very essence of life itself, | love and hate, birth and death, humor and hlgplnus The many-sided plot | touched with tenderness and fine courage in the character of the young. lovely Rose; it ripples into laughter with the gaieties of the Italian musician and the drolleries of the busybody, Emma Jones, and it flames into tense drama as the amour of the unfaithful wife, Anna Maurrant, is avenged by her stern, relentless husband. ‘The cast which William A. Brady, the producer, ts is too long to be | iven in detail. It contains many well ywn New York players, including | Barbara Willison, Florence Fair, Arthur | Behrens, Robert White, Frank Marino, Ida Moore, James Fallon, Lucia Laska, M. B. Samuylow, Glenn Coulter and 40 others. “Turn to the Right,” Business High Spring Play. MRS.
