There are few famous stage stars

of the past half century who have not been seen at the local shrine of the “legit” some time or another. So the first appearance of Miss Bankhead, who has been in the dramatic vanguard for more than a decade, can be classed as an added mducement to see a talented actress in a highly successful play The fact that Miss Bankhead has not heen seen in the “provinces” except on the screen is not as strange as it appears. For New York, where she made her dramatic start, was slow in recognizing her talent. took eight sensational seasons London to convince had been overlooking one of foremost actresses of the time.

Having appeared in four films after her turn from England, in which she was miscast badly, she has overcome that handicap with the public through her present play, and seems to have the inside track for the | coveted role of Scarlett O'Hara in “Gone With the Wind,” soon to be filmed. If she gets this part it probable that Hollywood producers will cast her in something congenial. The original Broadway cast will be seen at English’s in “Reflected Glory,” which was written and directed by George Kelly. Plavers include Clay Clement, Ann Andrews, Phillip Reed (who has appeared in some 25 movies in the past three years), Elizabeth Dunne, Chase, Madeline Holmes, George, William H. Turner, Chester Miller, Robert Bordoni and S. T. Bratton.
