Allie 1SS

Most of the Johnnies, attracted by
the alluring title, went to the Grand
last night to see Girls, a Clyde Fitch
comedy in its second season, and per-
hapS the first act where three bache-
Tor girls friSk about in kinonos, take
down (and Off their hair and finally
put on their nightieS and go to bed in
a folding contriVance, a sanitary couch
and a Morris chair, repaid them. But
outside that first act which is clever,
original and amusing. the piece is
slow, stupid and impossible. The sec
ond act, in a law office, is about the
limit, even for farce comedy, and the
third is as dull as anything you could
imagine.
Girls is altogether characteristic Of
Mr.. Clyde Fitch whose plays are, or
dinarily, marvelS of inanity, saved by
one unusual act, scene or situation.
He has a positive genius for mildly
startling innovations in, the way of
stage business and it will be found
their effect almost entirely upon their
staging. Prolific as he is, he has writ
ten only one play, The Climbers,
worthy of serious consideration. The
first act of Girls is amusing, not on
account of the dialogue, for the lines
throughout the piece are uninspired,
but because it reveals three attractive
girls in their relation to the expedients
teries' of the toilet. Sifted down the
charm of the act depends entirely
upon the clever business-one girl
combing her switch, another washing
her white gloves in the salad bowl,
and third, using shoe polish on her
black ones.
The play was well staged in Topeka
and Miss Bessie Toner, who played the
leading feminine role last night was
also with the original company. The
cast includes some clever people and
the three bachelor girls, around
whom it is written, are comely and
attractive. A. F. J.
