THE SAVING GRACE"

Exactly what did c. Haddon Cham bers mean when he christened his delightful comedy, in which Cyril Naude is now appearing on tour, ''The Saving Grace?
 The thought that first comes to mind is the obvious one that the sav- ing grace referred to is the grace of humor- But many persons after wit messing the performance are inclined to believe that the playwright had in mind a deeper and nobler mean ing when he chose the title
 BIinn Corbett the hero, Is indeed ] possessed of a most delightful sense of humor, but he is also a man of the strongest patriotism and of tender devotion to his wife, either Of which qualities might well atone for his ir- responsibility and improvidence. The more sentimental auditors are per suaded that MT. Chambers intended to make his hero's abiding love the chief element of his character, while those of strong patriotic ideas believe that BHnn Corbett's overpowering de- sire to serve his country was his ''sav- ing grace
 From MT. Maude's very human portrayal any one of these three in terpretatfons might reasonably be made The character is so truly drawn and so skilfuIIy enacted that one who has seen the play thinks of Corbett, not as a stage figure, but as a very interesting and delightful be- irg that one has intimately known He is therefore, a person to be dis cussed in precisely the same manner as one discusses ones friends.

LYRIC.

Theatregoers are showing their ap- prectation of ~'Eyes of Youth by the record breaking attendances which are taxing the capacity of the Lyric theatre at each performance in the afternoon and evening. The work of the PoH Players is also coming in for complimentary comment and the stage settings and mechanical novel, ties have been termed the best ever.

"GOIEG UPs

With Going Up' and a Broadway cast of over ssventy-lve and includ- ing an augmented orchestra. the at traction at the Shubert Theatre. New Haven the entire week of April 2sth Conan and Harris take a stronger grip than ever on the great and grow ing army of theauegoers who de- light in the Conan and Harris idea, of entertainment Everybody knows what this means-action from the first cur tain to the last, action every second tudleful Jing1eE, smart and show. cos tunes, girls, girls, and then some dia- logue that snaps like a carload of hrecra ckers going off. A laugh in every line, broad but wholesome sa- tire, and a good moral adorn the tale. The theme is highly amusing and romantic. It chiefly concerns a young American author, who has pictured a wonderful flight in one of his books,and who upon arriving at a fashionabl hotel in the Berkshires. is looked upon as the hero of the fIight. His frenzied preparation for an aerial contest with a French flyer, the prize really being the hand of a dashing girl who is staying at the hotel, and with whom both have fallen in love, and the manner in which he chances to win the duel in the air, are fairly saturated with comedy and romance. The plot gives the authors, Otto liar bach, James Montgomery and Louis A Hirsch, the opportunity for inces- sant action, and the introduction of a score of big novelty musical ensem- bles. The piece is sumptuous1y staged. such as characterized Conan and Harris productions.

BARRIE MUST KNOW

Do you recall that affectation of the fine ladies and gentlemen who wanted everyone to be sure to notice how really fine they were back in the mid-Victorian period? They never by any chance-if they didn't forget pronounced the letter ''r''-used wv instead. When they "cwossed' the Channel, for instance, it was ''vewy wough." Dickens records it and so do Thackeray and other novelists.
 Well, here in America it Is general ly supposed that that curious habit went out with bustles and side whisk- CTS and such things. but apparently it hasn't. Barrie says it is still extant and makes it a characteristic of his fine lady, the snobbish and insolent Lady Caroline Lancy, so beautifully
 played by Violet Kemble Cooper in Dear Brutus'' at the Elm pire Theatre, New York. Lady Caroline thinks the
 number of wings" Matey, the but
 Ter, has stolen ought to be stated and
 she can't understand what a mans
 ''wazers'' have to do with his age.
 And after she has been in the magi- cal forest of Second Chance, where she has as many 'r's'' as the next one and where she is happily married to IIle Nu1SaT ana QlSnOneS[ Maley, WnO has turned financier, she comes to, as 1 some one remarks, with a ''wush." J. H. Brewer, the English actor
 who came to America, to play Lob ir Dear Brutus'' and who is an inti- mate acquaintance of Barrie was asked the other day if this affection | is still prevalent in England. "Oh l dear, yes replied he, among a cer- 1 tain class of uItra-precious snobs. It's l quite their distinguishing mark Bar 1 rie wanted it brought out plainly. that 1 Lady Caroline was of that class, and 1 at the rehearsaIs of the play in Lon 1 don he was particularly insistent 1 upon it.''

PLAZA

Today at the Plaza theatre an en- tire new bill is presented. The fea- ture picture is Never Say Quit with George Walsh. If a. man is born on Friday the 18th, he is doomed to a life that is a joke to others and a nuisance to himself. George Walsh proves this conclusion in this latest Fox release. It is a story full of laughs with enough drama to make it a thoroughly enjoyable feature
 The headline act is Elsie Main, the well known vocalist, and her Synco- patton Lads in a janbouree of music and song. Miss Main sings Q. number of the latest popular ballads and the boys in the act accompany her with some excellent musical numbers. The band borders on Jazz but is not the harsh music sometimes heard from a so-title!1 aggregation of players. Spe- cia1 scenery is carried to make the offering complete in every detail.
