II Is fortunate thing for New York that II has ono
shcatre at which good comedy Ii always sure Of
being we'll acted. Many OF our theatres havo their
spccialtics, and rich, ripe comedy Is the peculiar
dish that is cxquistclv served at waIlack's.
Last night witnessed tho production Tor
tho nrst timo SIX years OF John O'Keeic's
rattliug comedy, "Wd Oats" We should DO afraid
to say how many old English comedies of the In.
tcllectual vintages from 1890 to 1925 Mr.
Wallack has stored In the cellars Of
his repertoire, but at time when
Now York seems to have turned TO the boistcrously
funny In thcatricas with the unanmity that the
ladies' have taken to wearing punches Of fragrant
vioIcis In their bosoms he could not have uncorked
more sparkling VINO OF pure fun than
that In tho bin marked 'Wild Oats. This
comedy II may not be impairment to recall TO New
Workers. concerns itself chiefly in the fortunes OF
stroing actor OF irrcprcssibe spirits, manly
instincts and RcntIemany bearing, who has
the ups and dowas Of Scarron's LAoucttc,
tho audacity Of Gil Bias and the good fortune to win
his way tho heart oil rich hoiress and Qdakcress
