GARRICk

Like the sparkle OF n brook TO the
thirsty mountain wayfarer was the
performance by the Jessie Bonstelle
company In the Garrick theater.
Monday night. OF Paul Kester's clev-
er comedy. "Beverly's Balance"
Breezy and refreshing. the play
was delightful tonic after the
plague OF heat. and the patrons OF
Detroits representative stock com
pany responded finely, both numeri
cally and in the matter OF apprecia
ton.
The players were on their mettle,
and II some or the more subtle lines
OF the Kes ter conceit failed 10 get
over" Il was not their fault.
Briefly. the story tells OF the for
tunes and misfortunes OF Watt Din
widdie and his cousin Beverly, Nir
ginians located In New York city.
Watt is struggling young lawyer
without clients and without money.
J. Courland Redlaw. who has coolies
OF money. Is looking for co-respon-
dent in order 10 accommodate his
wife, who seeks a divorce.
How the Impoverished Beverly be
comes the correspondent and her
platonic relations with Redlaw are
inoffensively portrayed. In the end
she effects a reconciliation between
the separated couple, and all ends
happily.
The burden OF the acting falls on
Miss Bonstelle. whose spirit or vi
vacity In roles OF the kind causes
women admirers TO covet the loca-
ton OF her fountain OF youth. The
character OF Beverly gives her eN-
cellent opportunity TO display her
fine sense Of comedy. and she EN-
bellishes the part with many little
heart touches.
Robert Adams Is intrusted with
the role OF Redlaw, who IL second in
importance In the unfolding OF the
story. Mr.. Adams plays In his Gus
tomary nonchalant. though none the
less effective. manner. Corliss Giles
hasn't much opportunity as Watt
Dinwiddic, but he makes the most
OF II.
Beatrice Moreland contributes
worthy character study as a Vir-
sinia lady with a reputation to sus-
tain. and Jane Houston brings her
versatility into prominence through
her delineation OF an Irish girl.
