when she hates it is we'll 10 move any

"Chin- Chin" at the Globe, still seems
to be very good TO more people than
Eddie. The entertainment built around
the talents of Montgomery and Stone
seems to have foundations which run
deep into popular approval.
"Alone at Last" at the Shubert, has
an exceedingly dazzling score, which Is
well sung. The book is a bit conven-
tional along the lines usually laid down
in the comic operas which come from
Vienna.
THE Blue Paradise" at the Casino,
is more than usually well endowed with
comedy. Its book is bright. and none
OF It's humorous possibilities are al
lowed to 60 by. The music is tuneful
for the most part and one or two num-
beers are worth the whistling.
"The Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic," at
the New Amsterdam Roof, is agreeable,
fluffy, after the theatre entertainment.

"The House of Glass" at the Cand-
Ter shows the police up to their old
tricks of prosecuting Mary Ryan. The
arm of the law threatens the actress
throughout the greater part Of the
drama, but everything is settled salts
factorily in the end. A detective and
a reformed crook are exceedingly well
drawn characters. The pay mas plenty
of power, but rather lacks the pace
which is usually associated with melo-
drama.

Comedies.

"The Great Lover" at the Longacre,
opens the stage door and allows the
public to troop in and watch the loves
and lives OF the opera folk. According
10 the play. they are just as interest
ing people as the Sunday editors have
always said. The most conspicuous
figure of the group is Jean Paurel, SUI
uerbly played b. Leo Ditrichstein. In
spite Of the fact that Jean is vain,
childish and tickle 20 degree, he be-
comes a most attractive person IN the
hands Of Ditriohstein. who gives per-
Torrance Of the sort which is likely to
be remembered among the great char
actcrizations Of the New York stage.
Beverly SitgrcGves and William Ric-
ciardi are conspicuous in good sup
porting company. Tart touches Oh Gym

of tie play unusually appealing.
The Unchastened Woman" at the
z hirty-ninth Street Theatre. is play
Of striking dramatic power, acted in
highly effective fashion by Emily Ste

"Hobsou's Choice" at the Comedy,

nicely balanced company serves to
make the most of the humorous posi-
bilities Of an exceedingly amusing play.
The story deals with the vicissitudes
OF q Lancashire shopkeeper and his
family. which is dominated from first
TO last by the masterful Maggie Hob
son. Molly Pearson is Maggie and
Whitford Kane a delightfully."- unso-
phisticated husband. At least one
scene of the play is broad but whole
some. for all that.
THE lars" at The Playhouse, is an
agreeable revival OF one of the best
of the comedies of Henry Arthur Jones.
The play has an occasional tendency to
run into long speeches, but in its best
moments its vitality is unimpaired.
Grace George gives an interesting per-
Torrance. and Conway Tearle is the
best member of a supporting company,
which is, for the most part, very good.
The Liars" is a comedy of intrigue
and owes something TO that school Of
thought which believes that good din
ner applied at the right moment should
be a sufficient force TO reconcile any
estranged couple.
"The Boomerang" at the Belasco,
has more points of universal appeal
than any other play in town. This is
due in part to the fact that Victor
MspeS and Winchell Smith have sue
ceeded in keeping the events of the
play true to type. "The Boomerang" is
good light play because it is never
anything else but light. There are a
few moments in the last act when 1t is
bit too light. perhaps. Comedy is
briefly obscured in farce, only to
emerge again. The acting deserves un-
stinted praise. Martha Hedman, Wal
lace Eddinger and Arthur Byron excel
in team as well as individual play.

ceum, is notable. first and foremost, for
Miss Ethel Barrymore. possessor OF

ccllently sung by Eleanor Painter. As
it happens, Miss Painter can also act

as the heroine of the Herbert-B Blossom

Herbert is not equalled by the book of
Mr.. Blossom, but there is merit in the
work of AL Shean, Sam Hardy and Miss

"The Eternal Magdalene" at the For
ty-eighth Street Theatre propounds
the question, what shall be done with
the scarlet woman ?" and supplies the
answer, "Who knows ?" 1t does assert,
with some degree of dramatic force,
that the community has no right to
stone her. The power which the play
possesses is extremely theatrical and
the message which Robert McLaugh-
lin wishes 10 impart is not important.
Julia Arthur is dignified in the chief
part and Lowell Sherman does an eX-

reporter.

have been used again and again, are
employed in Common Clay" They
have been used skilfuly, for the play is
one of the big popular hits of the sea-
son. This is due in large part TO the
snowy acting of John Mason and Jane
Cowl. In spite Of the power of the
situations in the play they do not ring
true for the most part. Much of the
dialogue, however, huns with life.

THE Chief" at the Empire Theatre,

strument, the Barrymore voice. There
are number of amusing scenes IN the
play and one or two deft touches OF
pathos, but the famous magazine
stories have been strung together
much too loosely for dramatic pur-
poses, and the play suffers from a
somewhat irritating aimlessness, in
spite of some of its entertaining feat
ures.
"Abe and Mawruss," at the Lyric, is
a continuation of the adventures Of
potash and Perlmutter." The new
play is just as amusing as its forerun-
ner and decidedly more skilful, techni-
cally. The treatment is somewhat dis
similar, for Potash has now become a
star at the expense of Perlmutter. In
what is practically the stellar part
Barney Bernard has succeeded to re-
markable degree in embodying the
character of Potash into his own per-
sonality. Along the lines Of realistic
acting it would be difficult TO improve
upon the performance of Mr.. Bernard.

make the entertainment interesting.

 For the moment the middle course of the river San is the hottest sector along the 200-mile front, but it is still uncertain at what point the enemy intends to deliver a really decisive blow.
