BELASCO CROWDED
FOR MERRY WIVES
Ben Greet Company Gives
ShakeSpearean Play.

The largest audience Of the week was
present last night at the BeIasco TO wit
ness the performance Of Shakespeare
comedy Of THE Merry Wives of Wind
sor.' 1t has been many years since this
piece has been played here. and there
were many in the audience who wit
messed it for the first time.
Some might object TO the boisterous
tone Of the entire production. but it must
be remembered that the comedy IS not a
subtle one 10 be played with reserve and
the finer shades of meaning. 1t cannot
be portrayed as the society comedy Of
the present day. nor even as one might
play the finer comedies Of the same poet
so that the broad and boIsterous fashion
in which 1t was given last evening cannot
be considered fault
OF the play itself little can be said. II
remains ono of the most comic repre-
sensations OF the old rake, with the
Jealous husband. the faithful wife. and
the many scrapes that the three get into.
The Greet company omitted large num-
Der Of the scenes as originally written
for instance, two between Brooke and
Balstaff. as well as the unusually comic
scene whore William is instructed in his
Latln-but the cuts did not destroy the
continuity of tho story.
Mr.. Greet played the part OF Falstaff.
q role that Will live as one Of the most
classical Of broad comedy. His delinea-
hon OF the. old rogue. who thinks that
he has only to look at a woman TO win
her, was done in finished fashion. His
makeup was excellent, and those who
had seen him In the role Of Tony Lump
kin earlier in the week could scarcely
recognize him as the rotund, jolly knight
with the bass laugh.
His supporting company was almost
uniformly good, though one might critl-
else their excess OF makeup without be-
ing hypercriticaL John Crawley, as Shall
low; Percival Seymour, as Slender.
George Vivian. as Sir Hugh Evans, and
Harold Cheshire. as DR.. Caius, all added
10 the general meripent. The latter
two In the duel scene were especially
good.
Particular praise IS due 20 the work Of
Miss Keith Wakeman, who was cast in
the role OF Mistress Ford. and to her
partner. Grace Halsey Mills. in that of
Mistress Page. The acting Of both where
they deceive Falstaff was refreshingly
natural and delightful. The stage set
tings were adequate and the general ef-
feet OF the production pleasing
