Drama and the Stage
.sNSg X sN.YEEi ~

The matinee girls eager for a stage
romance will have an opportunity to
see Just how one is successfully cul-
minated tonight at the Grand when
Clifton Mallory will portray a love
episode in the life Of David Garr!clI,
fascinating king of the London stage.
The admiration accorded Garict,
affectionately dubbed 'Davy" by
every strata of society amounted to
little less than ido,atry. His grace,
versatility, exquisite genius and pow
er to sweep the heartstrings with a
sympathetic hand have been amu-
lated by such actors as Sothern,
Goodwin, willard, and Wyndham and
now that eminently qualified roman
tic artist, Mr.. Mallory who shades
the character with touches never Wis
Toned by the others.
The stage settings are beautifully
simple, no jarring superfluity OF inn
possible objects or bizarre decora
tions to divert the attention from
the finer points of the drama. Mr.
Mallory chose his support TO look
their parts as we'll as to act them
being particularly sensitive to incon.
gruities in cast. The play IS histori
cal, giving an authentic version o
the manner in which Hamlet the
ShalSespearean tragedy was bs,ns
done by Garricl1 at the time OF his
affair of the heart with a famous
London society belle. There are mo
ments OF pathos in 'David Garrick'
and they are moments Of humor as
well, both being so finely drawn
that the real merit of the stage az
a culGvating and refining influence
could never be questioned Ii mort
productions of the kind were before
