TIE CAST
BY HAYWOOD BROUN

Avery Hopwood should trade his
skates for water wings. lie can't tell
thin ice from whitecaps. "Our Little
Wife" is a brazen farce, scant in humor.
Ever since Fair and Warmer" the
skill Of Hopwood has diminished, and
the reason seems to be that he has
formed an entirely erroneous notion
as TO the factor which made for the
success Of that sparkling play. As it
happened, Fair and Warmer" had here
and there lines Of somewhat arresting
improperly, but they were written with
nice degree of discretion and deliv-
cred with skilful CELEBRITY. An impu-
dent line or piece of business should
be thrust home like rapier. Touch
and get away is the only sound method.
But IIopwood observed that folk
laughed when Madge Kennedy lisped
wicked words, and he has since striven
10 get further off color and TO cry
stop look and listen" at the most in
appropriate places.
There is a high spirited, human strain
Of low humor which may be shouted
without offence simply because il is al
together true and kindly, but Hop
woods improprieties are too sharp for
the tavern and too broad for the draw
ing room. They need a little curtail'
ment; but, much more than that, they
need meditation. II is one thing TO
sneak in line and run, and quite an
other to put the stress Of curtain
upon a speech which will not bear close
scrutiny. We have in mind the second
act of "Our Little Wife
Though HOpwood may have laid aside
the rapier for the battle axe, he has not
lost his cunning TO such degree that
there is any necessity whatever for
censorship. His offence is not against
morals. but more insidiously against
good taste.
There are other grounds for not
liking "Our Little Wife" The farce IS
shot through and through with doors.
OF course, one leads into a bedroom.
1t is a play where not only wise
word might avert tribulation, but even
50 much as the premonitory rat-tat-a-
tat Of knuckle against panel.
"Our Little Wife" is not even funda-
mentally well grounded. The original
premise that a Jealous husband invites
a friend 20 test the loyalty of his wife
is more preposterous than pleasant. In
this case poor beginning makes
good ending, for the final episode OF
the play is decidedly ingenious and en-
gaging. by the way, there are other
amusing things. The husband who dis
likes his wife's physician remarks: HE
MAY Dc d nerve specialist, but he acts
like an osteopath." The wife, upon bid
ding her husband stay home for the
evening and have a nice time, hands
him d copy Of The Evening Post" lie
tears it up. ~
These things are incidental. We
must return to the altogether painful
task of fault finding. Our Little
Wife" is poorly played. There is no
good reason why Margaret Ellington
should be cast for farce, and there
are q number of excellent reasons why
she should not grin and giggle for
three acts. The trick favored by Wal
ter Jones is nervous tremor. 1t IS
far funnier in Act than in Acts II and
III. Lowell Sherman and Efngham
Pinto do well enough in more or less
straight roles, and the outstanding
comedy feature is a French waiter,
capitaily played by Robert Fischer.
Miss Ellington wears some handsome
