The Girl and The Judge at Hollis Shaped by Fitch Comedy
A large Hollis crowd witnesses Clyde Fitch's The Girl and The Judge with Annie Russell as the girl and Orrin Johnson as the judge. The review notes Fitch's deft touch on social issues, but calls the plot rambling and the dialogue formless though sprinkled with bright lines. Cast members include Mrs. Gilbert, Harriet O. Dellenbaugh, and others. Miss Russell is criticized for lachrymose territory while Johnson and Gilbert earn praise. A two week engagement precedes Anna Held in The Little Duchess with a special matinee for Ibsen’s A Doll’s House performed by Mrs. Fiske and others.
