Annie Hughes, the English actress,
has retired on her Shakespearean
laurels for the time being. She re
cently added two notable roles to
her Shakespearean repertoire, that of
the Queen in "Hamlet" and the Nurse
in "Romeo and Juliet". As observed
by a learned critic of the Midwest, in
each Instance she demonstrated that
it requires the services of a, play
wrlg as well as a player to make a
star role. One is lost if not coupled
with the other. Miss Hughes did
more than her share to make both
plays notable.
Robert Rendel, an actor of real
dramatic intelligence, ranking high
on the annals of Broadway's pro
ductions, has been invited, with the

in a group of Ibsen matinees this
season , in New York. Arthur Hop
kins is to give a series of Sunday
night performances of Russian plays,
and Emanuel Reicher will later do a
group of continental dramas of con
temporary interest.

pleted her first picture in the United
States. "The Honey Bee", from the
story by Samuel Merwin, is the ve
hicle, and the production was com
