BY ADELrNE oARRroK WELLS.

Time and again have various actors
assured me that Newark is the cold
est town in the country to play to,
next to Buffalo, but I've never heard
Chauncey Olcott say 1t.
He couldn't say 1t. His Newark
friends seem to have a sublime faith
in his power to please. Folks who
don't go near the playhouse at other
times pull themselves together and
sally forth to see Olcott as soon as
they hear of his arrival.
Pondering over this during the per-
Torrance of Paddy Whack" at the
Newark Theatre last night, l decided
that 1t was all matter of PERSONAL
ity. Chauncey Olcott is not great
actor. He conveys no impression of
great emotions striving to burst forth
from a heart too small to hold them
The mind refuses to picture him in q
three-corner problem play. But the
ability to get over the footlights" is
Mr.. Olcott's to a marked degree. He
could forget his lines, walk In on his
hands or do anything he pleased, and
his audience would say, isn't he
lovely?' Because its Chauncey Oh
colt, he of the whimsical smile and
the voice with the tears in it, that
they come to see. His vehicle is in
cidental.
In THE Heart of Paddy Whack"
Mr. Olcott appears in a new light.
Heretofore he's been a rollicking
blade, light on his heels and light in
his head, but as Paddy Whack we find
him q responsible citizen, a lawyer In
a country town, wrestling with the
little intimate problems of the simple
folk about him, untangling legal
knots and patching up domestic quar-
rels almost in the same moment.
Paddy Whack's real name is Dennis
OMalley. His ward Mona Cairn. be-
slowed Paddy Whack" upon him
because of the dire threats as to pun
ishment he used to hold over her head
when she was mite. Mona was
very much the apple of Paddy's eye.
When her father died he took her to
rear, and that her pride might not
be hurt he pretended as she grew that
her father had left her a tidy fortune.
Mona went away to a fashionable
school and Paddy scrimped and saved
to keep her there. And then one day,
to his dismay, she returned
