in numerous DISCUSSES, succeeds IN de-
ceiving even the audience several
times, and gives throughout a splendid
low comedy Characterization, Wnlle
Maude Odell. (the actress. not the
vaudeville singer of that name), dou-
bles the part of the wife, and the
actress manages 10 give distinct In
dividuality TO each; in fact. she dis
guises herself and even her voice, TOO,
so completely that scarcely any OF the
sO-called resemblance remains.
Although it had a long run in Paris
il is doubtful if the play achieves
much success in this country. but 1t
serves to emphasize one OF the most
CRYING needs of our stage today, name
". the lack Of competent light young
comedians. The actor who plays the
part Of Con is doubtless the best who
could have been obtained, yet he is
hard and metallic, entirely devoid or
that grace. assurance and hghtness OF
touch which would have made Con
a truly human and. with all its faults,
a sympathetic character. If the right
man could be found for the part,
there would be more hope for the
play.
A Seasons New Play.
1.-THE Little Damozel." the first new
play Of the season at the Comedy
which, by the way. is TO become the
home of William Collier and to be
known as Golfers Comedy, is both a
disappointment and a success. 1t is a
success in that it tells & straightfOr-
ward, pretty little story. that is full
TO the brim with pathos and senti-
ment in a pleasing, delightful man
ner. but it is disappointing in that j

created by the program and the locale
Of its scenes, and that, If may coin a
phrase, there Is no illusion of reality
about Il. Given a locality well known
and OF certain characteristics for 4

will give a semblanee OF real life to
the action. In all this. the play is
hOpelessly deficient
The action occurs in that quarter of
London inhabited by artists and 9TH
ers with a temperament which for
lack OF a better name we call Bohe-
mia. The program and the dialogue
OF the first few minutes lead us to eX-
pect some such characters and touches
of color as made Trilby, for instance.
