PoIi'-aOh, UncIe.S

In "Oh. Uhcle." a new flower OF
tunefulness which had one of its bud
ding performances at Polls last night,
the Shuberts have a sure-fire winner
of the popularity prize. 1t is mu-
sical comedy with real sprightly tunes
in II, as well as songs and sayings
that are actually funny. There are
well-chosen voices. some charming
women, men who know how to amuse.
and tasteful costumes. 1t is not an
extravaganza of the wildly elaborate
kind. but a simple concoction. OF
catchy music and fun in two acts and
the same number of pleasing but not
remarkable settings.
The score, by Jacques Presburg and
Charles Jules has much that is ad-
mirable. The airs are without ex-
ception interesting and lively and the
orchestration is bold and fanciful.
Especially pleasing is the musica
climax of the first act in which the
comic musician OF the play shows how
an entire opera may be built on the
one-fnger theme of I'VE Won't Go
Home Until Morning" Tunes that will
become ~histling favorites are: "a
Dainty Little Girl Like YOU" suns
by Sam Ash and Maxine Brown in
the first act, and Breeze Through the
Trees" by Ash and the chorus in the
second part.

Bile for novelty, dealing with a young

manner Of life from supposedly
Puritanical uncle. who poves to be
the glddier sport of the two.
The author shows symptoms Of a
desire to dwell luxuriously on the
subject of booze, while the time is
still apt. and he even resorts, per-
haps with g. sort Of last fond re-
gret. to the time-worn device of
putting a prim New England spin
ster through the antics of invoi-
untary intoxication.
For the most part the lines make
no descent to coarseness, but there
are lapses of rather disgusting
depth. One Lew Cooper. playing the

with an Al Jolson makeup and
manner. has a song. probably inter-
polated, that would make Al Jolson
turn pink through his blacking. and
that. of course. is saying something.
Maxine Brown dances and sings
with dainty charm In the leading fem
inlne role of Margot. Nancy Fair, as
a village maid. gives some clever imi-
tations. Joan Maith and Connie Ediss
have other important parts.
OF the men, Sam Ash does a lot for
the show. with his fine tenor. as the
hero of the tale. Bert Manlon con-
tributes breezy monologue and much
more OF his dry. eccentric humor.

ally the Hampden Hamlet" bears
striking resemblance to Arthur
Hopkins Redemption. Both are
triumphs OF the new stage manner.
The Hampden performance is ex-
allied, also, by the blessed absence
Of an orchestra, and the only music
heard through the passage of the
tragedy is the music of the lines.
Nature has been bountiful with
Walter Hampden, giving him a
voice that is pure gold. a physical
presence that is ideally fitted for
this role, an artistic intelligence
that is second to none on the Eng
disappearing stage. 1t would seem,
therefore, that he has arrived to
stay, and that he may be the har-
binger of a real renaissance of the
classics on the stage. He was greet
ed with an audience which packed
every inch Of the Shubert- -Garrick
so prodigal OF enthusiasm there is
little doubt that many more natl
nees of Shakespearean tragedy can
be played in this city whenever
Hampden wishes to return.
The production is distinguished in
every way. The acting was a de-
light, despite the fact that the COM
pany is modest in its pretenslons
1t contains no well-known names

playing OF Polonius is one of the

with the aid of her husband, Hartley
Manners, whose latest work In dra-
matio tailoring, Happiness was
disclosed at the New National last
evening.
II Miss Taylor's delightful perform
ance as Jenny" had not made the
evening notable, the disclosure OF a
new drop curtain-a study in blue,
from the studio OF Gates and Morange
would have done SO. The New Ma
tional hardly looked the same piace
with this thrice-welcome addition to
the theater's artistic equipment
Happiness" belongs to a familiar
school OF American comedy-that in
which naive and sentimental moral
izings arc blended with alternate
laughs and tears, comedy and melo-
drama. 1t Is a very clever background
for the Laurette Taylor style, and is
well worth while on its own account
The poignant delineation of the little
girl dressmaker and shop girl given
by Miss Taylor, filled with soft. ex-
quisite light and shade, with not the
slightest overemphssis in its senti-
mental passages. contributed a MEM
orable evening in the theater.
The boredom of the rich, the cour-
age OF tne poor, Jne Spunh OF an
American girl-these are the familiar
but dependable ingredients out OF
which the play is fashioned. Jenny"
is a morality play. modern style, all
by herself She Is an inimitable waif
with a brand of informal and "unex-
pected" conversation that sustains
the first act without any help from the
plot In fact. in the midst OF that de-
lightful scene at the Pole mansion a
plot would have been an unwelcome
intrusion.
The company for the most part is
excellent, containing a clever imper-
sonation OF a certain lean female
type, Sallie Perkins, by Lynn Fon-
: tame; q charming Irish type by
J. NJ. Kerrigan. in the role OF
Fermoy MacDonagh; a well-round-
ed study by Beatrice Terry as Mrs.
! Chrystal-Pole; and an adequate pre-
sentation OF Philip Chandos by Percy
( Ames.

contributes an Easter week attraction
