Maytime' at Greenwood
Theatre Last Night

A capacity house greeted May
time," a successful musical comdey
which was presented at the Green
wood Theatre last night. The costum
es were especially beautiful and the
electrical effects, combined with
scenes of early Spring when nature
is lovliest, were charming.
The first scene was laid in the Van
Zandt home in Washington Square,
when Ottillie, impersonated by Eileen
Van Biene, the fair young daughter
of Colonel Van Zandt, celebrates her
sixteenth birthday anniversary with
garden party. At this gathering
her betrothal is pledged to Richard
Wayne, enacted by Worthe Faulkner.
Her father disapproves of the enga-
cement and Richard is ordered form
the home and the lovers are separat-
ed.
Fifteen years eIapse between the
next act and Otillie is married to her
cousin, Claude Van Zandt, .played by
Russell Lennon. During the long
years of her unhappily married life
she cherishes the memory Of her low
er. He too has never forgotten tn
sweetheart of his youth. The happi-
ness which they missed is enjoyed by
their grandchildren. The play closes
in a dressmaking establishment in tn
twentieth century, when the costume
are changed from the colonial to tn
modern and the scenery is shifted TO
the present day.
Mathew Van Zandt, the comedian
who was strenuously opposed to pow
erty and single blessedness, to such
an extent that he married four times
was thoroughly enjoyed by the audi
ence.
| John Hayes possessed an unusually
nleasing voice and was repeatedly en-
cored. Worthe Faulkner also Is .
singer of ability and pleased the audi
ence.
