'Sancho;'Panza' Will Be
Shown at Grand on March
, 18; Play, is Success -
An unusual play and an unusual
production is what the coming
engagement of Otis Skinner'at the
Grand theater Wednesday, March
IS, .promises local theatergoers.
From- New York, Boston -and Chi
cago last year came reports that
the settings and costumes of "'San
cho Panza" had set a new stan
dard, of - beauty- and effectiveness
that. they, were not even surpass
ed la color and' loveliness by,- fne
big revues ' or the Russian impor
tations.. Not since his memorable
'"Kismet" has Mr.' Skinner f had
such a massive' and ' splendid ; pro
duction; -
"Sanchoi Panza". I a, play. oijtjxe
golden age of Spain, when-hearts
were merry, and colors gay. JThe
present I production was, costumed
from' designs- by. James Reynolds,
known for his work in Ziegf eld's
"Follies" , and Butt's "Revues" In
London. '-There Is a large 'cast of
over? 50 -players; special music,
composed - by ' . Hugo Felix4, whp
wrote t'Ponf iPora." "Lassie and

Furthermore, ."Sancho' Panza"
contradicts the mistaken idea that
a costume piece cannot, be funny.
There is more laughter, more wit,
morel humor than many an avowed
laugh-producing' farce contains.
And; Dapple, the. donkey, provides
moments of broad burlesque.
