NEW COMP ANY AT
VALENCIA IS A HIT
"Aristocracy," Old Time Play,
Proves Fine Vehicle for
Clever Players
By Walter Anthony

Everything was brand new last night
at the Valencia theater except the play.
The company is new. the leading wo-
man is new to US and the costumes
and they are certainly elegant-are
new. 1t was for all the world like
a house warming and the audience was
cordial and large and happy. The play
was Bronson Howard's fine old fling at
European nobility, "Aristocracy." For
at least 20 years has that piece given
US thrills of patriotic pride. For ,25
years it has been the inspiration of
native dramatists and considering its
years it still is, should say, a most
remarkably himble Yankee Doodle
Boy"
Miss Blanche Stoddard is an emphatic
gain to the forces of the Valencia She
was nervous and timid for two acts.
and then rose nicely to the emotional
demands of the big third act. where she
was splendidly convincing and in that
single scene made firm her claim as
leading woman. 1t is the episode. you
remember, where Diana is caught in
the coils of the serpent-as the script
has it-and is prey to the scintillating e
wickedness of the prince from Vienna.
| 1t must be difficult not to overact in
the part. There was certain GOODNESS
and objective care exhibited by Miss
Stoddard which kept the story reason
able and impressive. There was no
hysteria in her subsequent scene with
her husband, whose return proves time
ly and carries the act to thrilling
close. She displays that adaptability
Of temperament which is a necessity in
the equipment of an actress who un-
dertakes the difficult task of playing a
different role every week. Incidentally
she is endowed with beautifully
modulated voice.

and is graceful and unaffected. and
she will add materially to the team
work of the Valencia. Darrell Stand
ing, who played the role of the mar
quis of Normandale, worked much quiet
fun into the caricature. He joins with
those mentioned in the added value
which the company has acquired.
Gerald Harcourt as juvenile comedian
is breezy, smart and alert. He and
Miss Arleen Hackett should deyelop
effectively.
Robert Warwick was given a hearty
welcome home. He was seen In the
role of the American millionaire. Jef
ferson Stockton, in whose family the
play centers its story. IT was an ex
cellent handling of the part Of the
American. His scene with his wife and
the prince was the best thing he has
yet done. 1t was big.

the play 10 expensive, the gowns are
