Nationnl-"Change.o

Change" is the title of the play that
will be presented by an all-English COM
pany from the Haymarket Theater, Lon
don, at the New National Theater this
week. Tne play and present company
made a success in London. and were
brruG,.t to America for a short tour of
nine weeks, first appearing at the Booth
Theater in New York. The scenes of the
play are all laid in Wales and for the
first time on the American stage, so far
can be recalled, is presented a play with
a Welsh theme.
In the family represented is the father.
firmly orthodox in religion, holding fast
to the old ideas of relations between mas
ter and man. him the change in
thought and belief of two of his sons is
incomprehensible. One son, who by the
old mans sacrifice is being educated for
the ministry, gives up his aim, while an
other son Is a leader in a labor agitation.
But the supreme sadness of the play lies
in the old mother who sees her invalid
son, Gwilym, shot and killed in a labor
riot: sees her son John Henry turned
from the house as an unbeliever; sees
her son Lewis, accused of causing his
brothers death by bis father. turn from
his home to Australia and the hope of
forgetfulness.
And the mother pleads heartbrokenly
with the stern old man, for whatever
they may think or do, they are her sons
Broken and almost alone, the old man
sits down at the last to write the son he
turned away to come home. There is
comedy relief to IL this tension in the
portrayal of three comedy creations.
OF the acting OF the players in this
tense little drama It is said to the en-
semble work of the players that has
brought them distinction.
Edmond Kennedy, a brother of the Rev,
Charles Ram Kennedy, author of .'The
Servant in the He 7e," is the only actor
in the company thEt has appeared before
in America The other players are En-
nest Cove, Lillian Mason, Harold West,
Tom Owen. +. A. Hopkins, John Howell.
Gareth Hughes, William Hopkins, Doris
Owen and eanor Daniels.

with one Of its leading characters, which
lead Mrs Howard to feel confident that
they would do justice to the original
After the first production Of THE New
Henrietta" Mrs Howard publicly ex-
pressed her congratulations to Messrs.
Smith and Mapes for their work in fitting
the piece to present-day conditions, de-
claring that the changes which they had
made in the text and in the situations
were 'tudicious improvements"
In an interview given a New York Sun
writer after the initial performance of
The New Henrietta" Mrs. Howard said: :
Il may be a bit old-fashioned in my
notions regarding the drama, but I've
always considered that the theater was
primarily a place OF amusement The
unpleasant themes OF many OF our modern
plays are distasteful to me. 1 think many
playgoers will welcome a chance to see
the good old illusions OF real people in a
series of comedy situations with a touch
Of pathos and the note of human appeal
to heighten their effectiveness / felt
myself responding again to the story of
this little family group and that fine audi
ence on the opening night expressed to
my understanding the same viewpoint.
1t was splendid performance. Mr..
Crane has mellowed and grown more
unctuous in his characterization of old
Nick. Mr.. Fairbanks as BERTHE was a new
study to me. / liked II more than / can
actually tell you. He does not suggest
the late Mr.. Robson to me in any sense
/ think he was chosen wisely to make II
new and individual character study.
I am deeply grateful to the producers,
the revisionists. and the players for their
splendid handling OF Mr.. Howard's
comedy"
II gives me pleasure to record the SINH
larity. Of my own notions concerning the
drama to those of Mrs. Howard, particu-
larly since believe them to be not only
far from being "old-fashioned," but to
express the feelings and opinions OF the
majority of folk who live in the here
and now.
Wen all be glad to see The New Hen
rietta' this week. not only because the
good old illusions Of real people in a
series Of comedy situations" have not lost
their appeal to us, but also because the
theme Of the play (Which has not been
changed will be frightened by such stars
as Douglas Fairbanks, Miss Amelia Bing-
ham. William H Crane. and Miss Patricia

600 persons sat and stood through a
fine program which 500 others could not
