that was very close to its authors
heart, as every one who knew Clyde
Fitch is fully aware. Equally. tho
late Mrs. Clara Bioodgood gave her
heart 10 the role OF Becky warder.
Saturday nights private perform
ance gained Its chief interest from
the fact that Miss Grace George
brought both charm and tenderness
TO the role Of Becky. an extraordi-
nary achievement when one stops TO
consider that the no called heroine
cannot honestly lay claim 10 a single
redecming quality. Stripped OF her
f'nery. she liz not only a congenital

really human interest until tho third
act. when Becky and her reprobate
father compare notes In reviewing
their family history. So far rs the

act, and the mere fact that they are

1.-THE Truth"
All tho truth Of the play II concen-
trated in that talk between Becky
and her father. and this scene was
played so admirably on Saturday
night by Miss George and Ferdinand
| Oottschalk that II literally wiped Out
all recollection OF what had gone be-
fore. Like her father before her
Becky was liar and generally nt
good. He was living on his dotinl
landlady, Just as she had been living

an eccentric comedian. His work In
the third act stamped him al an

and while her work suggested a
vaudeville sketch there was no re.
sisting the humor OF IL. Miss Isabel
Irving gave n light touch to the wife
who had detectives watching her nus
band and Becky. with the result that
there was not sufficient contrast be-
tween her methods and those OF Miss
George. As Bccky's husband, sydney
Booth gave a good. sincere perform
ancs, and Conway Tearle acted with
ease as the philanderer whose only
fear was that he wouldn't be able
10 lose his wife.
But discussion OF the acting all
comes back TO Miss George and
prompts the suggestion that, with
no apologies TO Shaw, the play should
be called How She Lied TO Her
