The play was originally written for Mrs. Fiske, one of the greatest actresses of the last generation. Miss Howell will take the part that was taken by Mrs. Fiske when the comedy made its debut. The humor of the play is rea lized by displaying jury scenes in which various women show their reactions to the red tape of arriv ing at a jury verdict. In one scene the twelve jurors, both men and women, are required to stay cooped up for two days because the two balanced factions cannot agree. Some of the women's reactions provide excellent comedy, accord ing to Miss Howell. Evelyn Diamond Says Voting Tuesday Heavier Than Expecit .
