young America,--At the Aston Theatre.

The cry for something different,
something new, among the theatrical
offerings shown to the New York public
each season was answered at the Aston
Theatre Saturday night when Cohan Il
Harris produced a new play credited
TO Frederick Ballard and entitled
young America" In this play, n three
act comedy. broadway got, at least
for the first time this season, some
thing startlingly original. Not only
were there real live people portrayed,
but there were children-scores OF them
and dogs and cats and suggestions
OF other animals, not to mention one of
the stars Of the aggregation, Jasper, "a
stage dog.
Young America" had formerly been
called ME and My Dog" There was
no complex plot to disturb the intel
lectual equilibrium OF the audience, no
| problem to be ~unravelled, no high ten
| sion climaxes none of the things which
IL has seemed necessary to put into
other modern plays.
1t was just n plain story OF juvenile
delinquency and the efforts of n subur-
ban family to correct the tendencies in
a wayward boy and the consequent
trouble II stirred up not only to the
! family concentration the husband OBJ
| iected strongly to his pretty little wife
| taking the boy under her wing-but to
all the neighbors as well.

There was a court room scene. court

laid in the home Of the DordyS, a newly
married young couple supposedly living
In any small suburban town or half
rural district. incidentally the play
was founded. according to the pro-
ann on the Pearl Franklin-Mrs.
| Doray stories. which had some vogue
at the time of their publication.
Although Mr.. Ballard was un-
doubtedly the chief writer OF the mar
ratiye, "Young America" showed un-
mistakable signs Of at least having been
! touched up by George NJ. Conan. The
American slang could have emanated
only from the pen of this playwright,
