New-York tribune., 1919-05-18
By Ralph Block

Nuch that is terrible and unanswer-
oble in life is in "John Ferguson"
nroduced by the Theatre Guild at the
Carrick Theatre. A great deal that is
cast unreasonably in the very mould
and texture of living, defying every
faith. set with cold endurance against
tbe fire and ardor of every human de-
sire, pressing men down anally to
waiting and inescapable disaster, is in
this Irish play by St. John Irvine 1t
is monotonously mechanistc at times,
set too exactly to a pattern of mount
ing and consistent tragedy to give
the illusion of a prodigal and careless
reality. But it has powerful T1-ac
itv which is rare in the theatre every
where. an almost bitter unwillingness
TO tell anything but the truth, al
most an affront to audiences by fling
ing it in their faces to let them have
the full and overcoming sting of it.
1t has many qualities of a great play,
and the Theatre Guild has presented
it with a sobriety and an imaginative
understanding that matches what is
best in the drama. The production
marks q new stage in the progress Of
the art theatre in America.
In many ways this is not an Irish
play. 1t is neither the Irish play of
Broadway nor the Irish play of Dub
lin. 1t does not have any of that
strange poetic intuition by which an
Irishman sees further into the my
sterious coil Of life than anyone else,
unless it is a Russian. 1t does not,
as the Irish do, laugh swiftly at life
at the same time they cry out they
are being wounded by it. 1t is a harder
thing than the Irish can give birth
to; it is little uncouth, and not so
colored with natural artiulness. But
it is more relentless too, and the
dooms it accumulates from act to act
are more crushing. In the end it
leaves the ring of iron in the air.
The materials have deceitful famil
iaritv about them. After so many
decades of the invalid father and the
impending mortgage, and the mail that
fails to come from overseas, there is
an added artistic irony in the fact that
an imaginative playwright should be
able to make something SO entirely
new from them. Perhaps not entirely
new The pattern is original, only in
that the old formula is given but the
slightest touch of Encouragement. In
the old style disaster was always kick /
ing at the door, never quite able to
come in, and was thrust away at the /
last moment by lusty kinsman, usu-
ally longlost and given -up-for- dead /
prodigal son, who rushed in just in
time to snatch the papers from the
threatening and abusive money lender.
The dramatist has changed the aspect
of this with the very slightest of gest-
ures. Good fortune-th time a draft
from Americans delayed only fort
night, and comes to crown the scene
when rape and murder have already 7
set their grim seal upon it.
Some originality lies in this con-
struction OF d process by which disas-
ter grows slowly and oppressively, and I
IS piled so high upon the hearts of .

thirty or forty millions. With this
avidlty for amusement, no wonder the
English theatres cannot hold the au-
diences who clamor at their doors, that
a manager is secure from loss, no
matter how mediocre play he pro-
for it, and that plays that hit the
public taste achieve unheard of runs
In statement recently A. H. Woods
says:
81 have never seen so great a de-
mand for theatres. But not only can
English playwright not get produc-
ton, but people like Du Maurier, Irv-
ing and others cannot even get into
their own theatres. Profiteering in
theatre rents beats profteerng in
house rents over there. Managers rent
theatres, or, rather, rented theatres at
one time for $700 a week or less, and
are now subletting them for ST. 500 and
more week. l myself am paying $500
to Henry Irving for the Savoy Theatre

slider such runs as these: 'Chu Chin

Stage KinsfoK in

Family life fairly flourishes this sea-

Since the early days of American the
atricals, when most stage talent was
hereditary and very much family af-
fair, there has been no such preva-
lence Of kinship among prominent play
ers as just now in New York's popular
successes.
Sometimes this family representa-
ton confines itself to one play, as in

Barrymores, Kings, Dooleys or SAINT
leys is that of the Eatons-the "seven
little Eatons," as they used to be called
in Washington, where, as child actors,
all seven were favorites of the local
stock company. Four seasons ago,
when the Eatons spread themselves
over seven roles in "The Blue Bird" a
New York manager became impressed
with the possibilities of Mary Eaton,
who played the leading part, and per
suadc1 her mother to bring the little
girl to New York
Mary came and studied ballet dane
ing, along with her sisters, Doris and
Pearl. The eldest, Miss Evelyn, was
at once engaged for the Winter Gar
den, but married after season and
left the stage. The oldest brother
meantime went to France, and the two
snail Eaton boys played last year in
"Mother Cary's Chickens
This has been the banner season of
the Eatons. Doris and Pearl both
joined the ranks of Ziegfeld beauties
in the "Follies" and "Frolic,0 while
Mary-well, Mary is the first of the
Eatons really to arrive at fame. In
George NJ. Cohan's "The Royal Vaga-
bond" the goldenhaired little ballet
dancer is the outstanding success of a
brilliantly Cohanized cast. Her solo
dance is the brcathless delight Of the
performance. On the opening night OF
the new play Miss Eaton "arrived" in
the theatre world as personality-a
elfin, ethereal personality that the
audience remembered long after the
smiling little dancer had whirlcd off
the stage.
