ADJUSTMENTS
New National.

A sparkling personality, little gem
of glinting moods, was the center OF
attraction at the New National Theater
last night. There was a play, plot
with brisk embellishments of dialogue,
music, too, that called for a director
ship that combined energy and discre-
ton. There was a troop of accom-
plished acrobats that trained the stage
at various moments into circus
Farena. Admirable gowns, fitted upon
young women, who danced ecstatically.
And yet the real attraction of the en-
tertainment was Mitzi. Trained in
the exacting theater of Europe, she is
an artist. Her effects are we'll calcu-
lated. Her temperament is buoyant
and irresistible. yet 1t never carries
her beyond the rational limits OF a
scene. From the broadest comedy she
can turn to a touch of pathos and q
out loss of FEASIBILITY.
Head Over Heels" Is q play Of the
modern type of musical comedy. The
story is trif1e serious. and at times
brings Mitzi forward so strongly as a
legitimate Coincidence that her ac-
compliShments as a songStreSs, excep-
tional as they are, seem only incl
dental. Yet her dainty vocalization.
marked by delicate purity of tone and
exquisite accuracy of interval, has a
charm which no Mitzi devotee would
think of sacrificing. In Edgar Allen
robat, who finds true love, among a
throng of admirers whose trifiing
leaves her in a state of sad bewil-
derment. 1t is a slender plot. which
leaves plenty Of responsibility on the
numerous and well rendered musical
hn16npGs
manner in which Mitzi presents her
self in broad, almost grotesque. fun.
and a distinct triumph in the impress
sion of sincere femininity which she
makes the dominant spirit of the role.
The character is not drawn with any
great degree Of dramatic power. yet
by force of personality she gives it
moments of dramatic intensity.
Much of the entertainment resem-
bles the vaudeville that is so unspar-
ingly travestied in one Of the most
amusing scenes. When the fun gets
along with it and holds interest to
the narrative in which she is the
dominant figure.
Her chief supporters in the fun
making line are Robert Emmett
Keane as the advance agent and
Charles Judels as Sfgnor Bambinett1,
the head of the acrobats.
Dorothy Mackaye as Muriel Sterling,
besides looking well. dances artisti-
cally the new jazz numbers which are
part of the piece. The other woman
principals play their parts satisfac-
torily and sing we'll.
The most catchy numbers in Jerome
Kern's musical setting are "Mitzis
Lullaby" which is carried through the
piece; Head Over Heels" duet by
Mitzi and Lawson. and Ladies. Have
a Care" a trio by Squibbs. Lawson
and Sterling, assisted by the chorus.
