BelascO-"Mr. Lazarus"

The new comedy by Harvey O'Higgins
and Harriet Ford, presented at the Be-
lasco Theater last night for one of the
first few times, kept a good-sized audi
enCe exploding from moment to moment
at the frequent thrusts of that peculiar
brand Of fresh and lively humOr that dis
tinguished The Dummy" the detective
comedy, by the same authors Of two sea-
sons ago. There is only one crook and
not much melodrama in Mr.. Lazarus. 4"
which takes a more fanciful, not to say
sentimental, turn than any previous ef-
fort of these faCile COllabOrators The
plentiful discussions with which the Pc
culiar situation Of Mr.. Lazarus is en-
broidered occasionally verge on the mys-
tiCal, though the authors never actually
lose sight of their essentially matter-of-
fact and comic point OF view.
Henry E. Dixey as the hero OF the tale,
which is a variation of Enoch Arden laid
in the top floor of a New York lodging
house has a part compounded of gentle
Wit, sympathy and Ionesomeness, also a
habit of mystihCatiOn. which furnish a
sufficient variety of moods to bring out
many phases OF the actors time-tried
versatility.
Mr. Lazarus, returning ogniZed
many years after his supposed demise
engages lodgings at the house of his wife
and views the interesting domestic situa-
tion which he finds there, like one. as he
says, not actually living. The supposed
widow has married a gorgeous old swim
dler known as DR. Sylvester. who with
his own petted daughter lives of the in
come or the lodging house. while his
Wife.s daughter by the missing husband
PLAYS Cinderella. This sIavey daughter
played by the delightful Miss Eva LEGAL
henne. has captured the heart of Billy
Booth, the clever young artist in whose
attic room the entire action OF the play
takes place
These six people. each of them an
interesting study. are all the charac-
ters of the play, and each one has
been assigned to a player picked by
an artist in picking. Dr. Sylvester,
OF the 1orid and sanEuine exterior
temperament and the vicious inside, Is
a remarkably well conceived character
and William T. Clarke carries out the
idea admira bly,. Mr. Lazarus finds the
precious doctor bull-dozing his step
daughter and TObbing his wife and is
moved by the instincts Of parenthood
to interfere for the protection Of his
new-found child. whom he longs to be
able to acknowledge. When the mo-
ment comes to tell her the truth, how
ever. she cannot believe him and
shrinks away. and as a result he de-
nies the relationship. beginning a Sc
ries Of mystifCations that finally
leaves the family in bewilderment as
to his actual identity. He buys up the
mortgaged house. gets rid of the viii
famous doctor. engages his daughter
to the young artist, and departs after
two weeks of married life. leaving A
message to the effect that the dead
cannot come back"
Most amusing of all the parts is
that of Mrs. Sylvester. who trembIes
under the rough rule Of the quack
who sponges on her, but perks up de-
Cidedly when she recognizes at last
her lost John Molloy. Miss Florine
