"Blarney," which comes to tho the. ftature attraction until Saturday, is a 'stirring romance of the bare knuckle days of prize fighting. The story itself, which was written by Don Byrne, is considered the classic of the prize ring. Ralph Graves, one of the newest and most interesting of male graduates from comedies, plays the role of Carabine, while Renee Adorco, noted for her recent work in "The Big Parade," plays the herofne, Peggy Nolan.

Lady Macbeth.
AS A MODERN VAMP,
Early this year Lady Macbeth will be seen in London in modern clothes, played as if Shakespearo had created her as a vamp for Hollywood, in Sir Barry Jackson's repertory season at the Court Theatre.
It will be remembered that Sir Barry, Jackson produced, at the Kingsway Theatre, "Hamlet" in modern dress, if which the Prince wore plus fours.
Mr. Bland, of the Birmingham Repertory Company, told a Daily Chronické representative recently that it had not yet been decided who, is to play Lady Macbeth.
"The season will consist of a series of five plays," he said. "Each will run for exactly four weeks, whether it is a success or a failure.
"Nature of a Viper," "Hamlet" in modern dress ran for 11 weeks. Some weeks ago Sir
