Robinson, can safely assure the public of a worthy performance and an enjoyable evening, in its of "The a representative' American drama, filled with genuine (human touches; real details from life. "The Truth" is considered by a great many critics as Clyde Fitch's best work. This play does not seek to sound the dramatic depths, nor does it undertake to regenerate a wayward world, but it presents an entertaining study of the habit of lying and its consequences.

of course, the deceptive person is a woman. Her weakness, however, was inherited from a man. "The Truth" was written in 1906, for a particular actress, Clara Bloodgood, and dedicated to Marie Tempest, in 1907, with grateful admiration for her triumphant, "Becky," whose womheart, versatility, and inherent vitality, have made this play 'a favorite in America as well as in England.

The "'Little Theatre Circuit, of Iowa. placed it in a list of five dramas for production in 1922. As late las last December, the drama league of America, honored this play by including it in the first list of American plays to be sent to Fermin Gemier, the new director of the Odeon, in Paris. Fermin Gemier hopes to be able to present to the French public each year an example of American contemporary dramatic art. "The Truth" has been translated into both German and French.

Clyde Fitch's sense of the theatre has enabled him to stand the test of time; he is a landmark in America's dramatic art; a pioneer; a man of the theatre who cannot be duplicated every day. His wit, spontaneity, his sincerity will make his plays remembered and prove to. us that he was "'The big figure of his generation in the American theatre." His drama, "The Woman in the Case," was played in Spain, in 1917. A four-volume Memorial Edition of his plays has been publsihed. BORAH IS AFTER HARDING AGAIN (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan.
