Drama
BE Calm, Camilla" Marks
New Best for Clare
hummer
By Haywood Broun

BE Calm, Camilla which was pro-
duced at the Booth Theatre last night,
is the best performance or the bright
est play in town Perhaps only a
cynical disbelief in condolences stands
IN the way of accepting it as both.
MISS Clare Hummer has gone beyond
"Annabelle" or "a Successful Calam-
lty' in her new conedy.s When she
nrst set the sparks to dying everybody
realized that the chief charm OF her
plays lay in the irresp sponsble nature of
the dialogue. Line after line would
swoop into surprising turns of humor
IN these earlier plays Miss Hummer
combined irresponsible plots with ire
sponslble talk. Many people felt that
this was necessary. But the dialogue
OF Camilla" swoops with the best Of
them. 1t can even loop the loop now
ard again at the desire of the dramat-
lst. And yet the play tells story
which is interesting and logical, even
though 1t is based upon whimsical
idea.
That is as it should be. WITNESSES
ike steady legs as we'll as ANYBODY
else. We feel, moreover, that there is
even an advance in the quality of Miss
hummer's dialogue. In Camilla" the
people are better characterizedt than ever
before. There is nothing in that to i'm
pede the rush of delightful and amaz-
ing talk. Alice, and the Dormouse. and
the Mad Halter and all our best takers
are definite persons. 1t would be far
easier. for instance, to analvze the
character of the Red Queen than that
of George Creel Best of all, in this
new play Miss RUNNERS humor meets
the biggest test. There are glnts in
its gayety Of things which are not so
gay
Broadly speaking, Miss Hummer has
brought our old friend Cinderella to
the stage again. But this time the
Prince does not come in a coach and
four. but in an automobile. The story
develops somewhat differently through
out. Instead Of asking Cinderella to
get into the coach, the Prince runs
over her. Moreover, good deal Of
pining and patience on her part is re-
quired before he takes the glass slipper
out of his pocket. Cinderella is a young
Hiss named Camilla Hathaway. who
has come to New York to play the
piano. She learned her art in Wiscon-
sin and finds that it isn't bit of use
in New York. She is faring pretty
badly when she has the good fortune
to be run over by a rich and attractive
young man. AS soon rs she RECEIVERS
consciousness she falls in love with
him. Just at what point he succumbs
is not revealed. The fact that he is
not yet divorced from his wife, who
has deserted him, and that he has con-
scientious scruples against divorce,
anyhow, handicaps him as suitor
Camilla pines and in the pining has
many humorous adventures. OF course,
he confesses his love in the end.
1t seemed bit sudden. This is the
