The return OF "Maytime,' conceded
by all critics TO be one Of the most
beautiful plays ever produced upon
the American stage. was welcomed by
large audience at the Playhouse last
night. Most plays are praised for one
or two special qualities Of excellence.
'Aiaytime" excels in all forms OF
beauty: I'm music OF rare loveliness; in
eXdulsitely tinted and fashioned cos
tunes: in a plot Of absorbing interest
and originality; I'm a lOve-motif as
wholesome and sweet as an 0ld-fasl-
ioned garden: and I'm plentiful humor
Of the funniest variety. And the play
is clean. With this years tendency TO
shlmmy dances and costumes that
would not be allowed on a bathing
beach. the audience drew a breath OF
relief TO find a play that was clean
/ throughout.
Eileen Nan Biene, as Ottilie, the be-
loved. displayed more dramatic ability
and a sweeter voice than the 0tlilie OF
vesiervear. WOrthe Faulkner, the
/ Dick WAYNE Of this year, is good
| looking lover. with a clear and eN-
pressive voice, though not OF powerful
volume.
HARRY B. Lister won large share
Of the applause for his inimitable act
ing in the part Of the comical ana
humorously philosophic Matthew, Inc
man OF many hOneymoons.
THAT daintiest OF hoOpskirt dances
l"A Windy Day on the, Battery fasci-
mated the audience anew with its lifting
melodv. Carmencita Fernandez gave
the audience one Of their most enjoy
able guarler-hours in her cleverly ar
tistic Spanish dance. When the Jolly
LUMP Jim Crow" polka put in its live
lly appearance, the audience had much
ado TO keep in its seat. II is safe to say
that catchy tune ran through the minds
Of most Of the audience during the bus
liness hours Of today.
'Will You Remember the sweet
heart song whose rarely beautiful
notes. sung through the century that
lelapses in the play. bespeak the eternal
youth OF love, is Of course the soult OF
the play. No one can recall "Maytime'
without hearing in memory the sweet
heart. will YOU Remember with its
mingled smiles and tears. 10 IS sung
first by the young lovers whose May
time romance ends unhappily. Then on
the lips Of a child. the refrain comes as
a song OF hope. Finally it blesses the
betrothal OF their descendants with its
b tale OF the Immortality Of love.
'Aiaytime," according 20 many OF the
noted critics Of the stage. will take IFS
Mace with "Robin Hood" "Pinafore,
and other undying mastervorks or light
opera. The play will remain at the
. PLAYHOUSE tonight and tomorrow night,
with a Saturday matinee.
