AMERICAN FLAVOR
IN FRENCH FARCE
YVonne Garrick and Nj. Becman
Shine in Mon Ami Teddy"

To create a stock company on the
model Of the Coincide FRANCHISE rather
than on the lines hitherto known in
America seems 10 be the aim of the
French Theatre in Forty-fourth Street
This week another actress OF leading
woman caiibre has been introduced
there In the person of Mile. Yvonne
Garrick who, in Andre Rivoire's COM
edy, Mon Ami Teddy" is fitted with a
role with ell the art of a Paquin ft-
ting q dress. As the young and sttrac-
tive but slightly prim and reserved
wife, 10 be counted by the hundred
thousand in France (outside Paris,
Mile. Garrick seemed to the manner
born, and in an emotional outburst at
the end Of the second act was able TO
be declamatory without being theatri-
cal and to impart needed modicum Of
CONTINGENCIES TO an essentially
made" situation.
Edgar Becman, who achieved dis
tinct success at the Theatre Francois
two weeks ago in a war playlet entitled
"Son Homme" land who, incidentally,
il repeating the performance there this
week., played the title role of the Amer
lean in "Mon Ami Teddy" with dig
nifty and an immobile possession
that one cannot but suspect was adopt
ed with view 10 obtaining still great
er relief for the unrestrained abandon
necessary TO his portrayal of the re-
generated apache Of the afterpiece.
The conception, however, was effective,
and good stage management in quick
ening the action Of the other charac-
tiers. notably that OF an inconvenient
husband by Ferdinand Verley, whose
performance was one OF the delights Of
the evening, aided the central figure
Of the play 70 make all his points cas-
lily and almost imperceptibly. Paul
Cerny and Jenny Disks were each ex-
cellent as two typical figures of
French farce.
The play bears the earmarks Of an
intention on the part of the author for
adaptation TO the American stage, and
the motives Of all the "personnsees" are
always highly proper. A remark that
brought down the house was one given
in poor French by the American TO the
widow Of q French President advising
her 10 marry a likely candidate for the
first magistracy: "You will be Madame
