Fay Bainter Brings 'East Is West' Here For Coming Season Fay ' Bainter has gone to Los Angeles and is not going to appear n a moving picture production. - The young actress has just concluded her long engagement In Chicago as Ming .Toy in "East . Is West," and journeyed to the film city for a vacation with her mother, who re sides there. In this relation It Is In teresting to note that Miss Bainter was born and made her first stage 'appear ances In Los Angeles, yet she has never appeared In a motion picture. That fact, too. is unusual - When Miss Bainter closed her sea son she had played Ming Toy 919 times. For two consecutive years "East Is West" was at the Astor theatre in New York, Last season was divided between BostoVC PhiladelpWa 'and Chicago For next season " William Harris Jr. plans to send "East Is West" with Miss Bain ter on a tour which will Include the prin-i cipal cities of the country, including the Pacific coast. It is safe to promise, then, that local playgoers will have an opportunity to see this former Portland actress In the finest work she has cre ated. It will be the first of a series of Important productions directed by Har ris to play here, including: John Drink water's "Abraham Lincoln" and Hol brook ; Blinn in- "The Bad Man." The promise that Miss Bainter is to play "East Is West" here in the coming sea son is of wide interest because she is another of ; that galaxy of stars who "started" here, practically speaking.
