"The Rivals" can boast of an unique and extraordinary posltton,-ror4rn -coital, lltamtiir anil imoni 1 inn countless thousands of plays tnat have been : presented In the English language, -t; . . ; ' It was during the early winter of 174, that Richard Brlnsley SheriJan, then b Ut ,. a youngster of parely tt year contracted with the tnanajer of the Convent Garden in London to write a comejy and in less than two iiiifitiua, oueriumi 'ueiivcicu mm pleted manuscript to the manaeer. In this faet alone, there is cause for, de cided atna2ement and wonder ; for when one considers' that'A mere boy, within, a few' weeks time, wrote a play that has been produced in every English-speaking, country on earth, that as been honored by the greatest actors the different aires have known rbelnj; mobilised Into one company and -thus form that much abused and sjldom conceived" combination an "all star company; that has favor ably withstood the severest compari sons with the classics of the world's greatest master in literature; that for more thaiyt century has been the mod el, of all, aspiring playwrights who were desirous of producing something entirely ' ; free from s and ' de void ' of "" the "scandals, the smut the rlsqueness ' and the .7 Inan ities that are so' prevalent In so many of Our modern "comedies, that has been the joal toward .which these same authors have 'worked and who, in ' I I : a?. -ft C"V ' II - . a m ' if",-, .

Joseph and William W.repre senttng the present generations, have been blessed with the true Jeffersonlan spirit. They have Inherited the hia trlonle abilities of their forefathers and in their hands the name and fame of the Jeffersons have found a safe resting place. In every sense of the word,, they are born actors for. their ancestors' blond flows in their veins and . their individual efforts nd their manifested undemanding demon strates conclusively that, even without the prestige of a famous name, and standing solely en the merits of Jhelr wurK, Lney wouia nave auvanueq vim rapidity; to stellar fame.- 1 .

It Is not a dramatization of incidents surrounding the famous ride of Lady Oodlva, nude and upon a white horse, through the streets of Coventry In the eleventh century to save her city from oppression.! But this heroic sacrifice of self for the good of her feliowmen Is emulated by Lady Mary Fulton In the play,, who, to obtain money with which to procure' treatment for her recently Impoverished and Invalid husband; pesea In the uJe- for" an artist who Is painting a: picture of Lady Godlva, Her husband knows nothing of this, and only Jearns of It when, after he Is restored to health, through the money1 thus earned, ' the painting la publicly unveiled at a club of which he is a member.' The hus band's financial; ruin and this publle disgrace had. both been' 'worked by a former secretary1 of h'.s,' who had been .repulsed! by Lady Mary., Hare recital of this general theme of the story gives no idea of the highly dra matic character of Its unfolding and the brllance of the 1 dialogue with which the lattpr J attended. Freder ick P. Schrader and Lloyd K. Bing ham, -tire authors, have handled their materials hi masterly-manner and provided Miss Bingham with a role In which her emotional, power and per sonal charm may be enjoyed at their best Ths company includes John E.

Many new features have been introduced, among which Is the scene where a game of baseball is piayeo, showing the ball field and grena stand and bleachers and a Jarge crowd of enthusiasts rooting for their side -to win. "The Umpire, it la probably unnecessary to say, Is me musical comeqy ftnat oroke au records for long runs in, the vlty of Chicago, thereby establishing Itself as the biggest favorite ever produced In that city. The story concerns the amusing and dramatic adventures of a baseball umpire, who, - temporarily blinded by pair of pretty eyes in the grand stand, makes a decision and Is forced to flee the country to escape the Indignation 6f the 'Tans." His itinerary takes him to Morocco, where because there Is no extradition treaties a colony of high class American crlm. inato has been formed. ?
