Beautiful Play With Pretty Pictures

the ''TeItale Forest from those who
the forest shows in their true cOlors-
the two faced nurse, the snake in the
grass goYerness, the idle, COSBY So
ciety friends of her mother. She sees
her father as a man made of money"
he really appears clothed in a cos
tune of dollars and cents-her mother
carrying always in front Of her the so
cial bee in her bonnet carrying It so
that it prevents her embracing and
taking to her heart her little daugh-
ter, Then the little dreamer enters the
land where the candles burn at both
ends" and sees her father batting for
his life against his financial enemies;
then she enters Robin Hoods barn,
where society goes round and round,
and sees how empty it all is, and final
", she rescues her father and mother
from the tentGcles that have been hold
ing them and brings them back as
sane American father and mother. They
begin to care more for what really is,
than for what people may say"
While she has been dreaming all
these thinEs-while they are being en-
acted alleEOrically upon the stage
the parents watching her sufferings in
the sick room are really awakened TO
a realization of their neglect. The re-
alities Of the play skip from the first to
the third act, the latter taking up the
thread of The real happenings where
they were dropped in the first. The
four scenes in the middle of the play
form the allegOry the Child's dream. So
wonderfully well are they interviewer
that the audience does not for mo-
ment fail to understand, throughout
the allegOry. just what is really going
on in the sick room. Both parents are
ready in the last act to be real father
and real mother to their little girl
The doctor prescribes what all little
girls and all little boys must want
the open air, exercise, mudpies, digging
in the dirt, rOmps in the woods, fish
ing and berTying-and the play cOlses
with a beautiful tableau, the little girls
happy dream as she relaXes after the
awful all night ordeal following the
overdose of the sleeping potion, a pic
ture of the little girl, 4 little boy and
n beautiful big Collie dog on their way
to the fishing hole.
The play is in the hands of an excel
lent company with but few exceptions,
and the scenery is beautiful The faith
er appears rather weak for the part,
especially in the earlier scenes of the
play. and some of the others might be
letter suited TO the characters they as
sumo. but the organ grinder q. Pal
mer CollinsD, the doctor CHorace Mitch
elD, and the Teddy Bear Cal Grady
are splnedid. Miss Leonie Dana is
wonderful Little Rich Girl" and
makes the character most lovable.
It is a play that brings the tears and
the smiles and the real hearty laughs;
it is human; it tugs at the heart
strings one minute and tickles the pail
ate of humor the next At other times
the two are so combined that it is a
perfect poem Of neutral lOveliness. Al
together it is worth anyObdy's evening.

A Los Angeles critic recently said
that he would rather have written THE
Poor Little Rich GirP than to have
/ been the author of The Bluebird." To
have been the author of either would
Fave been honor enough. Leaving out
comparisons any Ell Pasoan who was
at the Texas Grand last night would
have been proud to be the creator Of
such a beautiful play as The Poor
Little Rich Girl" Somebody has de-
sCribed it as "a chiids play for grown
ups and the description is about as
accurate as anything that could be ap
piled. It is full of childish things and
when a child in a play fails to appeal
! then it is peculiar audience, and
when It IS such a different child play
{ there is more reason for it to charm.
1t is full of so many subtle things, so
much keen sarcasm, things that re-
quire a close following, that it would
never be linked with those plays called
plotless. 10 is not so heavy with plot
and situation as to be tiresOme-far
from it-but THE Poor Little Rich
Girl" is the sort of play that you have
to watch every minute to get all the
good things in it-but your interest is
so keen after a few minutes of intro
ductiOn to the characters, that it is a
pleasure to watch-you can't keep
from it.
THE Poor Little Rich Girl" is the
only child of rich parents-of a father
any attention, and of a mother too
busy with the social bee to get &C
quainted with the little one. The re-
suit is that she is left at the mercy Of
strangers-those hired to look after
her-the gOverness. the teacher Of
French, the teacher of German, the
teacher of music, the dancing master,
the maids and the men servants. She
has verything-eXcept the things a
child wants. She can't rOmp in the
streets, she can't have playmates and
she can't make mudpies; it must all be
make believe" with her if she wants
to have fun like other children. 1t is
even make believe" when she wants
goodnight; they are so busy with So
cial affairs that she just has to make
believe they are with her.
Then comes the night when the gov
erness slips off on a pretense. of illness
and the maid gives the little girl an
overdose of a sleeping potion so that
she, too, may have the evening off. The
child is discovered sleeping the sleep
of near death in the reception room of
the great mansion while her father and
mother are entertaining at a dinner.
Then comes the wonderful part of the
play, the dream scenes of the child.
The little girl in her delirium lives
among the people who have surrounded
really are As She dreams, as she sees
in her delirium, the scenes are enacted
upon the stage. The good doctor, the
old organ grinder of whom she is, so
fond, the jolly plumber, her Teddy
Bear (nOw alive and attentive)-au
these faithful ones appear about her,
and protect her in her journey through

brimful of humor.
