This verdict, rendered by Richard Lockrldge, of the Sun, was shared by the various other major critics, and it was also generally agreed that in add! tion to the well-known Barrymore charm which she brought to the inter' pretation of the role, she gave it i greater degree of reality than is usually accorded this eighteenth cent- tury comedy.

IN SCREEN SCENE Especially was this more dramatic note sounded in the screen scene. Here, to again quote the enthusiastic Mr. Lockridge, "she put so much emotion Into her reading that she came perl lously close to making Lady Teazle seem a reality instead of a mask." However, the majority of the critics saw in this scene merely another evi dence of the artistic ability of this member of the Drew-Barrymore clan. In reference to this Sheridan com edy, it is interesting to recall that it was first produced in Drury Lane Theater, London, in May, 1777, with Mrs. Abington as the first Lady Teazle, and the great Garrick supervising the rehearsals.

He was in the audience on the opening night and led the cheering. Dr. Johnson was also a member of that first-night audience. FIRST SEEN IN 1785 The School for Scandal was first produced in New York in 1785 and since then there have been numerous revivals, Augustin Daly presenting his version in the old Fifth Avenue Theater on September 12, 1874, with Fanny Davenport as Lady Teazle and such stage celebrities in the cast as Mrs. G.

H. Gilbert, Sara Jewett, Sol Smith Russell, Louis James, Charles Fisher and William Davige. i Miss Barrymore is of the third generation of Lady Teazles of the Bar- rymore-Drew family. Her grand' mother, Louisa Lane (John Drew's mother), played this part half a cen tury ago, and her own mother, Mrs. Maurice Barrymore, played it a gen ration ago.

OTHER OPENINGS Other openings in New York last week were: Monday, Brief Moments, at the David Belasco Theater; The Social Register, at the Fulton and Peter Flies High, at the Gaiety. Wednesday Marriage for Three, by Elmer Harris, at the Bijou. Thursday Sign High, Sing Low, at the Sam H. Harris Theater, and Louder Please, at the Masque. Friday If Love Were All, at the Booth.
