THE IRON MASTER"
PLAYED IN FRENCH
Gilda Darthy Makes Successful
American Premiere

This weeks offering Of the French
company at the Garrick Theatre
George Ohnet's lie Maitre des FORCES"
)"The Iron Master') lis frankly old
fashioned. Thirty years ago it was
being given in German TRANSACTIONS 1t
has the virtues Of old-fashioned com
edy, in that it gives the actors oppor-
tunty TO make the most Of scenes of
emotion-lov jealousy, hatred and
reconciliation. Life i'm modern drama
D. not made up Of emotional crises like
those in which this play is focused.
1t gave Gilda Darthy, a newcomer
to the company, her opportunity. To
her and to Claude Benedict, who played
the title role, 90 the honors of the
performance. Mile. Darthy played
Claire de Beaulieu, a young noble
woman, affianced 20 her cousin, Due de
Bligny. This gentleman loses small
fortune gambling one night IN Russia,
and finds il necessary 10 reward the
bourgeois gentleman Wlo pays his
debts by marrying his daughter.
Claire, Infatuated at the desertion,
marries the ironmaster, who has long
been deeply attached 10 her. On their
bridal night she repulses him and tells
him that their marriage IS one in
name only The remainder Of the play
is devoted 10 growing realization on
her part of the injustice she has done
her husband. Appropriately enough,
the play is furnished with duel,
which is the occasion Of the final
reconciliation.
Whether it is due TO the arrival of
Mile. Darthy, or whether the French
company is settling TO its stride, the
performance is better than those
which. preceded IT. The exaggeration
Of emotion which would be so easy IN
piece Of this kind is commercially
abs snt. Especially IN the second act,
the scene in which Claire repulses
her husband, Mile. Darthy and NJ.
Benedict achieved a carefully planned
climax.
The play offers, in addition, a couple
of amusing character sketches of
a parvenu, breeZily represented by
Robert Tourneur; another of the ma
licious and wicked woman who causes
most of the trouble which occasions
the play. This part Yvonne Mirval
PLAYED successfully. Marc Lomon,
Georges Renavent, Jenny Diska and
Dione were as usual competent. A
certain Albert created a mild sensation
as an enthusiastic workman.

By HAYWOOD BROUN

Anna Held, the Sarah Bernhard cf
musical comedy, appeared last night in
Follow Me-" 1t is some time since
the star from France was seen here
in a production, but her figure, her
face and her art, for that matter, arc
about the same as usual. Perhaps her
art has broadened and mellowed a bit,
for in the last act she wears tights. To
the best Of our memory this is an inno-
walton, and not every mother-in-law
can do 1t, even for single act.
One may rejoice that conservatism
has touched Miss Held so lightly. Yet
there are bounds beyond which radical
ism should not go, and the star does
not forget 10 sing song about her
eyes. II Want To Be Good, but Ny
Eyes Won't Let Me" is the burden Of
the refrain.
However, it is not eyes, but uu-
diences. which have compelled the hard
working Anna Held TO keep up the
pose of light and sinister frivolity. II
is quite possible that the sirens had
the pleasantest sort of home life. but
popular prejudice kept them at work
on the rocks, whether they would or
not. IL may be remembered that Gree
saved Ulysses from them by advising
him TO stop his ears with wax The
lure Of Anna Held is more potent
than that Of the gone and gallant
sisterhood. 1t is conceivable that
Ulysses might feel the spell Of Follow
Me-" for instance, even more strongly
after the application of the wax. Anna
Held can do more things to song
than sing il.
II has always been difficult to ascer-
tain the reasons for Miss Held's hold
upon the average audience, but it is not
TO be denied that she gives any ballad a
swing, a snap and a suggestion which
would not be felt if it were rendered by
any one else.
The attending company in Follow
Ne" is not distinguished, nor is the
production impressive in costuming or
setting. The chorus is much less at
tractive than its chaperon. Several Of
the tunes are catchy, but the book is
not contagious. Little Sylvia Jason
danced and sang pleasingly and was
wildly applauded by the frst-night au-
dience. Harry Tighe had good mo-
Lewis, but he was funny only now and
again. No one succeeded in being quite
so pleased as the performer himself.
Eduardo and Elisa Cansino did some
interesting and graceful dancing after
the clickety-click manner favored in
their land Of Spain.

PROPOSE SUBWAY IN S6TH ST.
West Side Residents Offer Plan to
Avoid Extension of Surface Line

A proposition to build a subway
through West Eighty-sixth Street for
the operation of the extension of the
'crosstown line on that street from
Central Park West TO Broadway, was
made yesterday at the public hearing
before the franchise committee of the
Board of Estimate. The subway was
suggested by the residents Of the West
Side who object to franchise for sur
face tracks. The residents in the York
Vile section, on the east side of Cen
tral Park, favor the surface extension
because it would give them a direct
line through 70 the West Side.
Mayor Mitchell asked the Yorkville
representatives if the East Side peo-
pie would pay their share of an as
sessment for the subway Their rep
resentatives declared they would not,
because they were asking nothing but
why they were entitled TO. The Mayor
said that, in his opinion. such a sub
way would cost about 100000

AND PLAYERS
Florenz Ziegfeld Wins a
Suit-Long Tour for
Cyril Maude

Florenz Ziegfeld, who wins lawsuit
every couple of days during the in
junction season, yesterday continued
an unbroken record by obtaining judy
ment for $4,000 against the father OF
Odette Myrtil, the so-called Apache
violinist. Miss Myrtil performed last
season in Mr.. Ziegfeld's entertainment
atop the New Amsterdam, but arose
early one morning and went to Paris
Miss Myrtl was a minor at the time,
and the contract bore the signature Of
her father. -,
By obtaining judgment against the
father Mr. Ziegfeld is said to have
scored a big victory and established a
precedent. The only reservations are
that he has not yet secured the $4,000
nor recovered the services Of MISS
Myrtil.
Cyril Maude will resume work in
Grumpy" in Allentown on December
II. and the tour to follow will end IN
San Francisco in mid-July. There is a
strong possibility that Mr.. Maude and
his company will then go to Honolulu,
in which event the ninety-year-old
Grumpy will be seen on the beach at
Waikiki.
The sale of seats for Sarah Bern
hardt's engagement will begin at the
Empire this morning.
Ruth Law, who has declined to be
tempted by vaudeville engagements,
Yesterday refused all offers but one.
She will be seen at the Palace during
the week of December IL.
Not Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea-" but "The People VS..
John Doe" will be the next picture at
the Broadway, succeeding "War Brides
on December II. The substitution is
made because Of the timely nature of
the Doe film, which is an antl-capltal
punishment picture based upon cur
rent case. Mischa Appelbaum, OF the
Humanitarian Cult, will contribute
lecture with each performance.

It was the children who first knew
that "Grandpa' John Frey, Of 1888 Ten
Eyck Street, Brooklyn, was dead.
That is, perhaps. as he would have
wished it. The old cobber may have
thought sometimes Of that day when
the children would come TO his door
and find for the first time that IL did
not open at their call. He may have
hoped that they would be the first to
learn that he had gone and that they
would go away sorrowful.
Last night no light burned above the
blackened old bench in Grandpa Frey's
shop. No thrilled audience of young
sters, "stayin' up late" clustered be-
meath its glow, aghast at the tale OF the
sea that the old man spun for them as
he worked.
Candy for the Children
Under the old black bench was a
paper bag, inexhsustible in its supply
of lollypops and all-day- suckers. 1t
may be there still but no one has en-
tered the shop since Grandpa died.
