laid IN Avalonis, a small country town,
and there IS no such place.
Avalonia exists only in the atlas
consulted by the authors OF WAY
Down East Broadway and Butter
milk and scores OF others. L is
town in which a churchgoer IS neces-
ssrily hypocrite and a deacon q
secret drunkard.
Now, Mr.. Harrington ought 20 know
that for every deacon who comes 20
New York 70 get drunk a hundred run

De aware Of the fact that hypocrisy is
BY no means the exclusive vice Of the
Cody.
OF course the petty prudery Of Ava
lonia amused the audience greatly last
night. We who live in a town which
prohibits Sunday baseball. closes the
front doors Of the saloons on the Sab
bath, maintains womsn's night court
and sanctions the sacred concert can
afford 10 laugh at the narrow minded
ness Of the small town.
The new play begins in a saloon on
Third Avenue. Il cleaves 20 life
throughout the act. Dramatic eXiCency
played art sorry turn when she led
the plot out through the swinging
doors
The sun has just risen on Tugs Euro
pesn cafe. Pearl is taking absinthe
for her nerves and the bartender IS
surly. Over on a bench there sleeps
man who only last night was giving
jewels away 70 the girls. He said he
was the King OF Siam, fnd they called
him Cy for short. Som ewhere or other
Cy has lost his overcoat. his collar his
hat and all his money. The bartender
ana Pearl discuss the sleeper and de-
eide that he j. a small town guy who
has fallen foul OF the city.
His money being gone, the bartender
IS about 20 throw him out when IN
comes Mister Antonio OF the hurdy-
gurdy. Antonio has that within him
which cannot rest easy a. the sight OF
distress, and he saves Cy by lending
him an overcoat and giving him money
enough TO send q telegram 70 his folk
back home. No sooner has the stranger
tottered out than Antonio bets the
bartender that the man he has be-
frienGed will thank him = ever they
meet again. And as the act closes the
Italian admits he did not wager alto
gether haphazard. He had recognized
Cy as the mayor Of Avalonia. whicS lies
in MS hurdy-gurdy route
Certainly there is high promise in
this, or at any rate there was last night
when the act was cspitally played by
John McCabe as the bartender, Agnes
Mare as Pearl, and skinner as Antonio,
not 70 mention Robert Harrison as a
particularly adept interpreter Of one
Of those stage lunatics who is much
more plausible than usual. Disappoint-
ment is in store. Antonio goes 20 Ava
lonia only 70 rescue an overworked GIL
who is TO be expelled from the home
Of the Mayor merely because she went
10 a roadhouse with 4 young man and
drank a couple Of glasses Of beer.
Then there is a somewhat effective but
altogether cheap touch Of melodrama,
in which the villanous Mayor tries 20

JACK NoRWoRTH RETURNS
Brings New Hat to Vaudeville After
Two Years in London.

Every one seemed uneasy az the
Colonial Theatre yesterday afternoon.
They laughed and applauded perfume
torily until Jack Norworth appeared,
and then the cause was apparent. They
had simply been waiting 20 welcome
Mr.. Norworth back from dear old Lon
don. It was the sort Of thing that a
stage director describes as "vamp TIL
ready"
Norworth has not changed during
mis- two years IN the war zone. The
only thing which seemed strange ABOUT
MIN was his hat. Nothing ike II mas
appeared this side OF the Atlantic. IL
was low and round Of crown. Ike
DERBY. and yet shiny, like top hat
II seemed 20 hold the audience spell
bound. They couldn't be sure whether
il was the sort used By the King OF
England or merely one Of Nor"orth :
idiosvncrasies. His songs and mono
looue were the usual thing delivered
in the usual languid manner.

who read and liked the book will be
disappointed IN the play. Indeed, u
comes into New York ready made
success, for last season il was seen
and approved IN many parts of the
country. Ordinarily the success Of a
play on the road is not conclusive, but
with "POllyaana' the case IS different.
People are people.
Pollyanna, as you are simply bound
to know. Is the CHEEKY orphan who IS
waited into a den of grouches and
spreads gladness, peace, JOY. content
ment, love, happiness, ecstasy and
many Of the other things on which Mr..
Roget diScOurses so eloquently. Par
ticularly gladness The creed of Polly
anna Is that one always can find some
thing 70 be glad about, however dire
ones misfortunes. In the course OF
the evening Pollyanna saw 20 II that
the hearts Of the entire cast were glad
dened. and finally the spirit Of the
thing spread even TO the audience.
Many were glad they had come.
Accessories Of the glad game were a
rainbow, a baby doll, a puppy, kit
ten, an orphan boy. One learned that
zone baby doll can bring more JOY
into the human heart than all the caps
and undershirts in the world As for
the orphan boy. Pollyanna was be
trothed 20 him when the curtain fell,
so II is assumed thai she married him.
One felt tina. she might have done bet
ter. even though his ancestors did turn
out 70 be Cabots. or Lodges, or some
thing He didn't seem 20 be just the
fellow TO tie 20. somehow, but undouot-
~ that was the way the audience
V6fted the play TO end.
"Pollyanna" is another Daddy Long
Legs"-no more, no less. For example,
10 is not 20 be compared with The Gin
derella Man" which, despite its senti-
mentality, was a sound play. In Polly
anna" however, the undercurrent Of
reason is rarely felt. In the second act
one feels IL momentarily, but the next
instant 1t disappears. This second act,
incidentally, marks the most effective
moment in the play. Moved largely by
the splendid acting OF Patricia Col
linge. the frst-night audience dropped
a tear here and there, and from that
moment "Pollyanna" was popular hit
Miss Collinge, as Pollyana, carried
of the acting honors Of the play

could have done 20 make the character
plausible. Efie shannon IS a capable
Aunt Polly. a character which seems 70
have been somewhat softened by MISS
Gushing. Herbert Kelley does well
enough with the doctor. and PhNlp
Merivsle is sometimes satisfactory and
sometimes not. Both Mr.. heicey and
Mr. Nerivale are handicapped, for the
weakest spots in the play are those IN
which these middle-aged gentlemen
celebrate their capitulation TO senu-
mentalism.
