A NEW BARRIE SK|T
The Censor and the DramatiSt'
in Musical Comedy.

J. NJ. Barrie's latest bit OF satire. this
time broad farce having a fling at the
rr rodern sex play" and the antiquated
play censor. was presented last night by
Charles Frohman during the last act OF
'The Doll Girl" the musical comedy now
playing at the Globe Theatre.
Mr.. Barrie shows us. by broad bit OF
amusing burlesque, an minute
sex play in the throes OF censorship. The
author calls in his cast a group OF
music hall artists. and distributes the
parts In file a number OF bearded gem
tlemen. supposed TO be authors acting as
an audience; the censor rises from his
place in the auditorium and the play
begins.
Difficulties arise at the outset. however.
for the music hall artists prove 10 be
highly moral types and refuse fatty to
read such scandalous lines as set down by
the playwright. This complication Is
further complicated by the censor. who
happens to be an architect by profession
and cannot bring his critical faculties to
bear upon anything but the details OF
the stage business dealing with doors and
windows and their proper architectural
position.
Finally, when the lines Of the play have
utterly horrihed the music hall players
and the supposed location OF the bedroom
in the stage directions has exasperated
the censor beyond endurance, the play is
angrily withdrawn and the censorship re-
fused.
Will West made capital censor. and
applauded the wrong points with laugh
able eagerness. Richard earle and Hat
tie Williams played tho music hall
artists with delicate sensibilities. and
made the burlesque capital fun.
Charles McNaughton was the poet lover
who intensified the scandal in the play
by proposing to run of with the WIFE,
with great reluctance. however, for. as
he said, he was a perfectly Respectable
trained dog act In real life.
The sketch is a welcome addition TO
THE Doll Girl" and adds greatly to the
number Of laughs in this already popular
show.
