highly nophuitlcated wit to amuse the
spectators.

Vast Dillingham and SJlegfeld scouted
the country In an effort lo ohtatn every

the theatrical horizon. These were for
the dozen of more big roles. For the
smaller roles they engaged players
scarcely less distinguished as featured

labors In "The Century Girl" pro

men and women players who are stars

names nre familiar legends on the elec

is limited to no one point of outlook or

of the ails and prolessions it Is found
that hardly two resemble one anothci.
All like "The Yellow Jacket" In differ,

but all like it. Young as is "The Yel

classic and the attainment of its

more limn sturdy youth for a play that
makes so varied an appeal.
