Spotlights Edith Taliaferro has been selected by Klaw & Erlanger and Joseph Brooks for the role of Rebecca in the play, Rebecca of Sunnybrook barm, opening in Boston at the Tremont Theatre. Miss Taliaferro has been playing the role of Polly in Polly of the Circus. She has been on the stage since childhood, appearing in Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch and with Ezra Kendall and other stars. The Rebecca play is one of the sensa-: tional successes of the season. It is a dramatization of the Rebecca books by their author, Kate Douglas Wiggin, and Charlotte Thompson. Rebecca has been played only in New England cities, but week stands have been made out of cities in which big attractions usually appear for one night only. The play itself is an unusual one. As Rebecca says, It's just good to be alive. This is the keynote of the whole production. Optimism and sunshine pervade the whole play. Mrs. Wiggin lias made some wonderful character studies of the Maine State folk. Little Nemo, Klaw & Erlanger's musical comedy, is playing the holiday season at the Auditorium in Chicago. The route then carries it southward until Mardi Gras time, when it will be the attraction at the Tulane Theatre, New Orleans, for two weeks. Week stands will be made of Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta and other cities where the usual attraction plays only one or two nights. The Barrier, Eugene W. Presbrey's dramatization of Rex Beach's novel, with Theodore Roberts in the role of John Gale, will be the next attraction at Klaw & Erlanger's New Amsterdam Theatre, New York City, following The Silver Star, which opens its road tour at the Colonial Theatre, Boston, January 10. The Barrier has been a success on the road and will probably make a strong appeal to New York audiences, as the plot is interesting and strongly dramatic and the cast an excellent one. The Shuberts' production, Dick Whittington, was presented for the first time in America on December 31st at the Hyperion Theatre, with a cast of 150 persons, headed by Louise Dresser. Laura Gucritc is the Dick Whittington ; Eddie Garvey, Alderman Fitzwarren ; . Alexander Clarke, "Idle Jack." Post and Russell, of vaudeville fame, play a conspicuous part in the fun battery of the spectacle, as do Al. Grady, as the cat ; Al. Lamar as the dog, and Kate Elinor as an eccentric cook. Others in the cast are Harry Clarke, Irene Dillon and Dorothy Webb. Dick Sutton has purchased the lease of the Salt Lake Grand Opera House from Pelton & Switzer.
