Barrymore Tops Marlowe In New York Stage Rivalry
Ethel Barrymore emerges as the leading woman at a New York theater, narrowing a friendly rivalry with Julia Marlowe over run length. Barrymore’s Captain Jinks has 163 performances in nineteen weeks, while Marlowe’s One hundred years a week fewer has 157 in twenty-two weeks. The Garrick engagement keeps shifting the balance as Barrymore’s star rises in her first season, joining a celebrated Drew family heritage and the broader theatrical legacy.
