Broadway Theatre Year Opens With Diverse New Attractions
Washington patrons see a varied first week of 1910 with John Drew in a Farce at the National, Tully Marshall and Ruth St Denis starring in The City and Egyptian dance at the Belasco and Columbia. Ruth St Denis returns to the capital in Egyptian inspired pieces while Marissa Wehlen and Mary Boland receive praise for musical comedy roles. The season includes forecasts for strong drama from Fitch and Somer, and the passing of actor Frank Worthing is noted along with club theatre as training grounds for future playwrights.

Maugham Early Struggles Opened to Stage Success
W Somerset Maugham, author of Lady Frederick and four other comedies, spent ten years writing plays before one was produced in America. His debut success came with Lady Frederick, a piece staged in the US by Ethel Barrymore. He favors humane, unprejudiced portrayal and gentle satire of society.
