By HAYWOOD BROUN

"Come Out Of the Kitchen" IL = farce
with occasional snatches of SMILES.
The combination is always called a
comedy, and is usually successful. A.
E. Thomas, who dramatized the novel
of Alice Duer Miller, has kept the
sentiment down to reasonable limits.
Some Of it rings true. An audience
which knows elevator boys 10 not pre-
disposed to appreciate tho sentimental
possibilities Of the negro servant and
vet the scene between the old nanny
and the heroine at the end Of Act ii
touched those who saw the play last
night
Not because IL IL false, but merely
because II Is sudden, much Of the seri-
Gus appeal Of the play Is poor. Thus,
everything was going along nicely IN
the kitchen and people were happy and
all that when Ruth Chatterton. with
out a note of warning, tucked in her
voice and declared that she would
rather die than marry man she did
not love. This admirable sentiment
seemed to be introduced for no other
reason than to give Miss Chatterton an
emotional moment and make the audi
ence forget that the play WAS farce.
"Come Out of the Kitchen" is ami
able. humorous and wholesome. Now
and again il has scenes which rise to
charm, but the play ambles. A farce
plot played at comedy pace cannot isil
to have its tedious minutes. The thing
81
deuce of long time TO explain that the
young members of proud Southern
family are going to play the part OF
servants in order not to lose the money
which a rich Northerner has agreed to
paw for the use of the old mansion,
fully equipped. The complications
which arise from this premise must
naturally be farcical, and yet the
author will not be frank enough to
admit il. After broken dish there
must come breaking heart.
The plot is too slight TO stand the
burden of superimposed emotional IN
terest. and so il slows up now and
again, and occasionally it lies down to
roll over. If the playwright took too
much pains to start his story, he more
than makes UP for this by the casual
fashion in which he brings II 10 an end.
OF q sudden, for no apparent reason,
or at least no reason which Is not
three acts old, the hero sees through
the deception which has been prac-
tised upon him. He recognizes that the
cook is not a cook, but Miss Olivia

lightfully played by Bruce McRea, and

MIR. FOY'S SEVEN CHILDREN

Eddie Foy and the seven other Foys

this week in q naive entertainment
written by William Jerome and George

without its power TO keep vaude-
willie audience in good humor. but

the author errs. He pretends to be-
pretty woman the first time he meets
her. As a matter Of fact, he waits
until the second.
Ruth Chstterton was the heroine who
turned the hearts of the men in the
play. There was nothing preposterous
about that. Miss Chatterton is an
actress of great natural ability. We
think that her art still lacks a certain
degree Of finish. but it is foolish to be
dogmatic about acting. According to
our opinion, she did not altogether
overcome a handicap which Come Out
Of the Kitchen" placed upon her. 1t is
necessary for the heroine to assume
during the greater part Of the play a
fictitious IRISH brogue. Now, she may
either play for humorous points by do
ing the brogue very badly or placste
tie ear by doing it very we'll. Miss
Chatterton does neither. Her brogue is
Just so so. 1t does not ripple like that
Of Patricia Collinge, for instance.
When she is not Irish, Miss Chatter
ton Is Southern. With this lingo she Is
more skilful. And yet we say plague
upon both your dialects. Miss Chat
terton has an excellent voice, and it
would be heard to mich better ad-
vantage without hurdles.
In one respect the leading lady Of
Come Out of the Kitchen" is royalty
endowed. II is her privilege and power
to be winsome without muscular effort.
Bruce McRae is seen TO excellent sd-
vantage. He gives delightful per-
Torrance. The audience enjoyed the
play hugely last night, and it is prob
able that other audiences will do like
wise.
Undoubtedly, then, there is justifca-
ton for the many playwrignts of the
present season who make no great eff
fort TO write pieces to suit our fancy.
And yet we wish they would.

"MADCAP DOLLY" OPENS
YORkVILLE THEATRE
Mil CHI Has Opportunity In
New Comedy

The Yorkville German Theatre opened
last night with a piece which lightly
combined pink. ochre and yellow bath
ing suits with q cerulean sky Of which
the programme accused Atlantic City.
"Die Tolle Dolly" (''Madcap Dolly'C
gave the prima donna, Mizi Gisi, ample
opportunity to sing. dance and act, and
maintained as much plot as one 10
accustomed to expect from musical
comedy. 1t had the usual stout and
wealthy old gentleman Oft on tear,
who meets bis wife and ingenuee
daughter just as he has been arrested
In a beautiful red and yellow bathing
suit, charged with being a train robber.
The part was played with much
humor-some of il broader than Broad
way-by Rudi Rahe.
Without apology the scene, plot. mu-
sic and cast shifted from Atlantic City
TO a striking second scene Of blacks
and blues in New York. Here Lotte
Engel and Richard Feist sang about
kissing-no sooner sung than done
and Ernst Nsumann developed from q
bored young man who never glanced
twice through the same monocle to a
youthful enthusiast. The final scene
took place In an artists studio.
The music of the piece was undistin-
rushed and at its best mildly pretty
in few Of the songs. The humor was,
some Of it. Of the obvious sort, which
comes from putting stout gentleman
IN trousers too tight for him, with the
obvious result. Many Of the lines were
bright
Such merits as there were the com.
pany made the most Of il by spirited
acting. dancing and singing. The audi
ence testified its pleasure by calling
the producer, 6. Rachmsnn. and about
per cent Of the authors and compos-
ers before the curtain.

Oliver Morosco, who 10 . writer and

down on the programme as one of the
authors Of $50 Long Lefty" Tho pro-
gramme does not go into details, 80 IT
cannot be stated whether Mr.. Morosco
wrote the red vest that the comedian
wears in the first act or the green one
that he dons in the second. 80 Long
Lefty" although IL contains some
amusing moments and q couple Of
amusing people, Is red-vest musical
comedy. II Mr.. Morosco must have re-
taxation from managing he should try
the ecrobatics.
Probably this musical piece Is going
TO provoke . considerable quantity Of
merrimsnt during its stay at the Shu-
bert. II is only fair to say that Chi
cago and points West where It has
been sojournine for . year or more,
enjoyed It immensely. Australia Is also
liking II. Reports Of its merits have
been reaching New York for these
many months--possibly they have led
ono to expect too much. At all events,
$50 Long Lefty" IL An entertainment
which differs In no great way from
the extravsganzas that come once q
week to tho Columbia On second
thought It does differ. There is an
undercurrent Of vulgsrity In $50 Long
Lefty" that probably would not be toll
Grated at the Columbia.
Several seasons ago Q comedy by
Elmer Harris fourished briefly at what
was then Daniel Frohman's Lyceum
Theatre. II was entitled Thy Neigh
bor's Wife," and its story was that Of
two husbands, who, finding themselves
uncongenially mated. effected tenn
porary exchange Of wives. OF course,
they tired Of their bargain. Mr..
Morosco has taken this legend and
made Of it his musical play. The music
and lyrics are by Earl Carroll, a rising
young composer, who In this instance
has written some pleasant music and
some overwhelmingly bad lyrics.
80 Long Lefty" is by no means a
dead loss. Indeed. it is better than the
average musical entertainment, what
ever that may mean. Too. it contains
Charlotte Greenwood, she Of the recre-
ant arms and legs. and it is indeed a
faded theatregoer who cannot laugh at
Miss Greenwood. IL also contains one
Walter Catlett, q newcomer to this
section. who is iegitimstely humorous
in an annoying and unpleasant role.
1t would be interesting to observe what
Mr.. Cstlett would do in straight COM
edy His method is combination OF
the ways of T. Roy Barnes and Ed
Wynn. although IL may be that he has
seen neither of these gentlemen.
Miss Greenwood is the Lefty. and the
piece would be considerably improved
il she were more on the stage. Sydney
Grant is q vast disappointment in the
opposite male role. and May Boley, as
the second wife, scores only along am
pie and obvious lines. The Misses Cam
eron dance plessingly.
To deal particularly with the music.
the most promising number Is the $50
