Since then she has played a great variety of leading pai'ts at the principal London Theatres, establishing herseif in the front rank of the profession. Within the limited space available here, it would be impossible to give anything like a complete list of even her niost outstanding triumphs and the titles of a few of the plays in which she gave the best Performances of her career miist therefore suffice. These include "The Donovan Affair", "The Combined Maze", "Hindle Wakes", "To Have the Honour", "One Hundred Years Old", "Justice", "Loyalties"'. Strindberg's "The Father", etc. Has also toured in the provinces with Dennis Neilson Terry and Helen Laroche in "Typhoon"'. Her favourite parts are Violet in "The Combined Maze" and Currita in "One Hundred Years Old". More recently she reaped applause and received excellent notices in "The Life Machine". Mary Grew appears to have studied the science of movement and voice control to a very high degree and possesses the capacity of expressing the changing emotions by a slight gesture or an intonation of the voice. MARY GREW 75, Sh;iftsl)ury Avenue, London, W. 1 T: Gerrard 197:} AA • BA • BN • CB ■ EH • EI phot : Claude Harris, London Mary Grew bildete sich unter Elsie Fogerty und Kate Rork für die Bühne aus und debütierte im Jahre 1925 als Madame Moskowski in „We Modems" am Fortune-Theater in London. Noch im selben Jahr erzielte sie einen großen Erfolg als Deborah de Costa in „The King of Schnorrers" am Scala-Theater. Seitdem spielt sie in bunter Abwechslung führende Rollen an den großen Theatern Londons mit bedeutendem Erfolg und eroberte sich rasch ihren Platz unter den ersten Schauspielerinnen Englands. Es ist hier unmöglich, auch nur annähernd alle Triumphe der Künstlerin aufzuzählen; es seien deshalb nur die Stücke genannt, in denen Mary Grew ihre gi'ößten Erfolge hatte. Das sind „The Donovan Affair", „The Combined Maze", „Hindle Wakes", „To Have the Honour", „One Hundred Years Old", „Justice", „Loyalties", Strindbergs „Vater", usw. Zusammen mit Dennis Neilson Terry und Helen Laroche ging sie mit „Typhoon" auf eine Provinztournee. Ihre Lieblingsrollen sind Violet in „The Combined Maze" und die Currita in „One Hundred Years Old". In jüngster Zeit erzielte Mary Grew in „The Life Machine" großen Beifall bei Publikum und Presse. Was an der Künstlerin ganz besonders auffällt, das ist ihr außerordentliches Darstellungsvermögen, das sich in der beherrschten körperlichen Bewegung sowohl wie in einer vollendeten Sprecbtechnik ausdrückt. Mit einer leisen Geste vermag sie dem stärksten Wechsel der Empfindung Ausdruck zu geben. 485
