Review of the Past Week
In New York Theatres

is refreshing, even If it is not deeply
thrilling. The chivalry of Sir Jasper,
the loyalty of Jogram, the bluff hon
esty OF Cruickshank, and the girlish in
noceRCe Of Dorothy may be simple
qualities COntrasted with the complex
worldliness of the characters in con-
temporary plays. but it is a pleasure to
be transported for two or three hours
into such an atmosphere as relief
from the muck -raking of our own hap
py era.
John Drew TO Advantage.
Not the least Of the pleasures of Rose
mary is TO see Mr John Drew once more
in a part where he is not simply the John
Drew OF faultless modern attire and Gym
iCally humorous drawing-rOom manners.
As Sir Joseph at forty We have him in
the guise Of a country gentleman of the
early Victorian days. kindly and authori-
tative, not too old for genuine sentiment.
but a bit too advanced to be a hero of
romance. In conclusion, as Sir Jasper
of ninety, we have him senile but well
preserved and retaining still his kindH-
ness of heart. his gentility and not lost
TO sentiment. The practically double
past gives Mr.. Drew such excellent op-
pOrtUnities and he avails himself of
them so we'll that IL brings a feeling
of regret for the artistic accomplish
ments that might have been his and the
pleasure ne might have brought to his
large following il his career for the
past fifteen or twenty years had been
developed on broader lines.
The career OF Mr.. Drew. which for
tunately is b: no means near its end.
is far enough advanced to suggest
bit OF looking backward. When he left
the company Of Augustin DAILY, where
he shared the leading hOnors with Ada
Eehan. Mrs. GILBERT. and James Lewis.
he was already strong popular favor
lite with a big artistic future before
him. Although he was best known as
a leading juvenile in polite comedy, his
experience before and after he Joined
the DAILY foI ces had been in varied
lines His PetrUChiO in the famous Daily
production of The Tanning Of the
Shrew' showed that then even the
Snakespearean comedy roles were with
- - abilities.
When Mr.. Drew committed his future
to the hands of Charles Froham his
path was strewn with roses. That
shrewd manager knew the American
public and that, properly handled. Mr..
prew's personality was "A very valuable
asset. The handling did not mean any
further development Of Mr.. Drew's
abilities or the taking OF any chances
in artistic experiments. The American
public liked Mr.. Drew. it liked him in

when he was lowering in an aero
plane 5000 feet above the German lines
near Ypres, a shrapnel ball from an
aircraft battery went into his back
near the liver and left him through
his chest near the neck.
The latest rumor about James K.
Hackett and his million is that he is
to make an elaborate production of
Macbeth" appearing in the title role
and with Mrs. Fiske as Lady Macbeth.
1t is possible to visualize Hackett as
the Scot, but a staccato Lady Mac
beth is a bit beyond the power of
Imagination.
Perhaps encouraged by the success
of The Show Shop" which very
frankly exposes some of the secrets
of play production, we are to have
next week a much earlier comedy with
the same theme. This is Richard Brins-
ley Sheridan's The Critic" produced at
the Princess under the direction Of Mr..
Iden Payne, at one time director OF Miss
Horniman's Theater in Manchester, Eng
land.

New York, Jan. S3-Even the managers
who have been loudest in blaming the
moving pictures for a decline in legiu-
mate theatrical income are glad to turn
to them as a stop-gap when they ind
themselves without a regular attraction
Some Of New York's best theaters have
not been above resorting to this means
Of paying ground rent and house help
Just now both the Longacre and the
Maxine Elliott would be dark and without

houses that would most resent the sug-
gestion of cutting their prices Tor a dra-
matte entertainment do not hesitate to
come down to the moving-picture scale

"Rosemary' is not A good play aC

Murray Carson is associated with that

who knows the work Of the latter is
sure that to him belongs the atmos-

peculiar charm. The piece does not

Pankhur.t Lecture.

AT the Belasco Theater this after
noon Christabel Pankhurst, LII B.,
will deliver her address on 'Tnterna-
tional Militancy," which, by the way,
relates to militariam rather than suf-
frage. Her subject is really the Eu-
ropean war, a conflict which she sees
as one in which the allies are com
pfielled to use forcible methods in or
der to resist and overthrow domina-
tion based on the principle that might
is right. Miss Pankhurst will deal
only with the causes of the war. but
with the situation up to the date OF
her address.
Long before the war broke out Miss
Pankhurst was a specialist in interna
tonal law. She took the prize in that
subject when she graduated as bach
elor of laws, and has maintained her
interest ever since. Knowledge of her
keen political insight and statesman
like qualities has spread beyond Great
Britain to the United States.

In a week practically devoid of new

London OF Granville Barkers scenery
was rather a misfortune, as it throws
the first American exhibition of his
managerial abilities into competition
with other openings.

to give currency to the rumOr that in

correct attire and in polite surround
ings, and there was no need to do any
thing more than to emphasize and ex-
ploit the new stars personality and
see that it was provided with the ac-
ceptable medium. 1t was easy for Mr..
Drew to follow the path of least re-
sistapce, and Mr.. Frohman's foresight
edness with regard to the American
public has met with substantial reward
for himself and for his star. There is
no reason for any one to object. The
public has had Mr.. Drew all these
years in the kind of parts and the kind
of plays in which they wished to see
him. Mr.. Frohman has seen his bust
ness accumen recognized and his bank
account strengthened. while Mr.. Drew
has enjoyed and is enjoying a most de-
lightful professional career. The only
ones at all dissa tisfied are those who,
for their own selfish enjoyment Of
of things artistic. would have liked to
see Mr.. Drew's powers carried to the
higher achievement indicated as pos
sible by his earlier career. But these
are not in the least entitled to Consid-
Grafton. as they are a negligible frac-
tion in a public which cares only for
the enjoyment of the moment and that
of the easiest kind.
