However, Virginia in putting together
THE Idol of the Hour" has done what
actresses are prone to do in self-ex-
ploitation when placing themselves in
a comedietta. She. poses as the ire
sistible stage fascinator of an ardent
young man. She has taken her cue from
Peg Wellington" and Nance Old

mush- Drained and slush-hearted
young idolator of his folly; yet the play
is more strikingly a paraphrase of "Da-
vid Garrick,' in which actors are fond
of personating matinee girls idol who
gets down from his altar to disillusion-
ize his fond worshipper. Davy, if you'll
remember. is inclined TO let the young
girl give herself to him. but manfully
decides TO change her admiration to dis
gust by making her see him in pre-
tended state of maudlin drunkenness.
Virginia plays the same kindly trick on
the chap portrayed by a slim. blonde.
youthful A. Fl. Van Buren,. He follows
her from the theatre to her home with
flowers and adulation. She likes him.
but on getting letter from his simple
young sweetheart. pitifully begging her
not to bedevil him, resolves to do what
Davy Garrfck did under similar circum-
stances. 1t hurts her heart, though;
for there she. is. a dream of loneliness
in a furry of white dishabille with her
sister when he makes his midnight call.
and she knows very well she can land
him for husband Resoll,tely she
tousles her hair, muses. her robe. loaf

to her art for solace. She has been
studying a role. and now she recites
one of its speeches in frenzy Of i'm
passioned declaration. You can guess
without hale trying what it is Lady
Gay Spanker's fox-hunt speech in
London Assurance" Why. to be sure.
So it seems to me as though, for vari-
Gus reasons, Virginia Harmed and THE
Idol of the Hour" although in vaude-
ville- deserve this amount Of account.
