ALTHO it does not properly belong here, we cannot forbear comment on Charlie Chaplin's picture, "A Woman of Paris." The sophisticated, and it must be admitted condescending New York critics, took off their hats as one man to this picture.

Definite arrangements have been completed for the tour of the Theatre Guild Repertory Company, carrying out their long-cherished plans to make it possible to present to playgoers outside of New York noteworthy productions that heretofore have been confined to this city. Basil Sydney will head the repertory company. Three of the plays produced by the Guild will be presented on tour. These are: "He Who Gets Slapped," by Leonid Andreyev; Ibsen's "Peer Gynt," and "The Devil's Disciple." the George Bernard Shaw play now at the Garrick Theater, which has been running all summer and in which Mr. Sydney, as Richard Dudgeon, plays the principal role. The tour will embrace Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Pittsburgh, Buffalo. Cleveland, Chicago and other leading cities.
