Jack Straw is tremendously clever in
the control of really capable actors; it
might be deadly dull In other hands, and
very likely would. Mr., Maugham's vogue
Is recent, and he is surely debtor to the
actors who have succeeded in presenting
his work so weii as to make it popular.
He offers in the present play nothing new
in either idea Or treatment. unless per-
haps II is that he assumes that politeness
will deaden the normal perceptive faculties
of the men and women who sit while his
tale is being unfolded and compel them to
be surprised at the denouement tina is
so obvious as to almost warrant the ejacu-
lation of Marvellous" But even this
can easily be overlooked I'm the general
satisfaction that grows from the fact that
his transparently simple comedy has
brought to a working understanding Mr..
Drew and Miss Coghlan, each with a role
that suits in all ways, and each apparently
enjoying the proceedings as mulch as any
of the folks who beam with smiles or
shake with chuckles from the first to the
last OF the performance. OF course. the
humor of the situation Is found in the
fact that Mrs. Parker-Jennings doesn't
know what Jack Straw and the audience
do, from the very outset. that the pseudo
waiter Is in reality the grand duke OF
Pomerania, wherever that is, and the dear
old snob is allowed to hug herself with
satisfaction and then rend herself with
impotent wrath afterwards, to be finally
overwhelmed with a sudden and aCutely
vivid recollection Of the choice assortment
Of more or less impolite and even rude
epithets she has applied to the sprig of

Once during the late afternoon. when the fury

sudden summons for Judge Lawlor. and it was
