"The Truth Pleasing Change
From Stereotyped Dramas;
Presented by Able Company

7 T was not an exceptionally brainy
effort, but an altogether pleasing
and artistic entertainment--'The
Truth'-at the Belasco last week.
This Clyde Fitch play has n certain air
OF novelty and freshness about It THAI
commends it To the habItual playeOer
The clilnaxes OF the first two acts. for
example, do not come exactly when you
expect then. at dramatic situations in
the action, but after all the excitement
has died away. The first act might
stand alone as a complete playlet. while
the story might likewise end at the con-
clusion of the second act and the audi
ence be allowed 10 draw its own con-
clusions. While too many such plays
would undoubtedly be more irksome
than the average play Of the day. never
theless The Truth furnishes that
theatrical variety which is restful anG
pleasing.
Mr.. Fitch has drawn with much clev-
erness some Of the characters ia The
Truth" The gambler and his landIady
are interesting and highly amusing
types. They reflect a phase Of human
nature that most Of us have seen and
though the humor is pumgent there is
cyniclsm. The treatment is rather that &C
the Dickens school than Thackeray, for
we laugh with the characters ratLer
than at them.
The play Is furthermore a rather
wholesome social picture. and Willie the
author does not make the fatal mis-
take Of trying openly to preach, he sue
Ceedg in presenting ir a pleasing guise

of unusual intelligence and discretion.
