CHANNIN6 POLLOCKS ITHEQOLt-- -A ''.' Y Channing Pollock's Drama, "The Foor Coming on April 2 "The Fool", channing Pollock's widely heralded drama, comes to the Orand theater for one night only, Wednesday, April 2. The success and jiopularity of this powerful draina in ?sew York and in Boston, where it was ac claimed for months, and which it is now repeating in Chicago and Philadelphia, a success of thir teen months in New York has made "The Fool" of national im portance theatrically. No other play has ever approached it as a medium for drawing to the thea ter so wide and distinguished a variety of personages, comprising all denominations, creeds and be liefs, for its appeal is universal. It strikes deep Into customs and habits of the day, in living, life in general, and strife which is ram pant; it has aroused widespread discussion in the world of affairs, in finance, labor and commerce, and it aims to harmonize world wide dissension that is clashing hete"en all existing opposing fac- ions. "The Fool" at the present time is causing more talk than any other play or book it is publish ed in book form. There are those who like it, and those who don't, but whether one or the other, all talk about it. Were it a play of one-sided interest, it would have died and been buried long ago. It lives because people are discus sing it and debating on it. And The Fool" must be a great play to do that. Its humble beginnings are now theatrical history. Its early pre sentation brought more theatrical criticism than popularity, but sud denly things took a spurt and "The Fool became a sensation. It was so different t from anything the stagehbffered in a long time that everybody wanted to see it, and nightly the Times Square thea ter, New;York, became crowded.
