Show MARGARET ANGLIN The deterioration of Margaret Anglin was something appalling to her old friends who sat through "Beverly'B Balance," Paul Kester's catch-- catch-- penny used in the jumps between the east and Berkeley, where Miss Anglin is scheduled to exploit ex-ploit one or two of the Greek dramas. In a play founded on a clever idea, badly carried out and with an Impossible company, Miss Anglin, devoid de-void of the old charm, with an exaggerated lisp, an articulation which needed an interpreter and without any of the appealing attributes that used to make her such a favorite; in appearance, voice and work shocked and grieved those who were quite sure in her earlier years that she was to be one of the- great actresses. The transfroma-tipn transfroma-tipn is almost unbelievable and pitiful to note. What has happened to this once wonderful woman wo-man is one of those mysteries of rather frequent occurrence in stageland. The next attraction at the theatre scheduled at present is Mrs. Pat Campbell in "Pygmalion" and "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray." Her engage-, ment will open August 30th. |
