GARRIck.

Nowadays producers like to stage
show that requires little worry on
the part OF the stage hands and little
expense for scenery. Several years
ago there were o number Of gaspe
because AT the White Horse Tav-
orn" did not change Its setting from
overture to curtain. And now there
are in Detroit. at one time. two plays
the authors OF which have economical
equally In the matter OF scenery.
"The Talker," which opened In the
Garrick, Monday night. employs the
same setting for three acts.
Marion Fairfax, author OF The
Talker," was also stingy with action
to an amazing degree. Stand-about
conversation monopolizes the piece.
Moreover, the Dasis of the play ia so
conventional that anyone In search
Of new ideas in drama would not
spend much time viewing "The Talk
err" Yet, Notwithstanding, all these
semblable defects. II Is a good play,
from the standpoint OF the audience.
That II is a good play may be laid
principally to the sincerity OF the ac-
tors I'm a wellsbalanced company. Tul-
ly Marshall in particular, interests
the audience from the moment he en-
ters, and the same may be said or

the play with more knowledge OF the
