A CABARET GIRL
SANS COMEDY Line

The opium dem scene is generally
conceded to be the most impressive
act in The Man Who Came Back,
but AIDA Gleason, who plays the role
OF Marcelle, the cabaret singer. now
at the Belasco Theater, adds her
opinion to that of others that the
most powerful single moment in the
play occurs in the Honolulu scene al
the point where the girl totters out
of the house supposedly under the in
fluence of drugs
There il simply no argument on
this point" said Miss Gleason recent
iy. II have seen it demonstrated again
and again. Not all audiences are well
contained, and I have seen moments
when it was actually difficult for me
to top as theatrical parlance goes
the expression of anger and disgust
which comes from the audience. I've
heard men in evening dress swear
like troopers and women fairly cry
out in their sorrow
The chief difficulty of playing the
part OF Marcelle is in giving it con-
trast. AS written the girl is, with
out question, a rather somber charac-
ter. She romps around in a red dress
in the second act. but at the same
time she is without single comedy
line throughout the entire play. Sc
Ii is a question of Introducing lights
and shades as far as possible"
