But when they do-Oh, Uncle! They

way musieaT hit. And certainly they
look it.
The plot of musical comedy usu-
ally doesn't matter much. 1t is very
apt to get lost about FIVE minutes
after the show starts, and remain
lost until the final tableau just be-
fore the last curtain drops.
But that isn't the case with "0h,
Uncle" the new shoW-last night was
it's premiere-has a we'll defined plot
which is never lost for an instant.
It's a perfectly good old plot 1t
deals with the trials and tribulations
of Jack Rushton, who really loves the
who is supposed by his guardian
finds his greatest excitement in at
tending Wednesday night prayer
meeting.
Meanwhile the uncle. considered by
Jack TO be a mbdel OF sanctity, is him
self really a gay, but very, very sly
dog.
So Jacks theatrical friends put on
a party with the uncle-and Jack
catches 'em at it-and there are mu-
tual explanations all around-and
everybody is happy in the agreement
that the simple life is only for the
dead ones.
Sam Ash, as Jack Rushton, gave
lots Of personality to his part, and
has a tenor voice that makes one
think of John Mccormack. Connie
Ediss, as Arabella Barber. a theatri-
cal has-been, had the star comedy
role. and never lost. an opportunity.
James McElern, as Joshua Blobbs, the
uncle, did some clever acting. and
Lew Cooper. as Wash, Rushton's
black-faced valet. and Bert Hanlon,
as Charley Horsley, pal of Rushton.
not only acted in mighty clever fash
ion, but introduced a couple OF spe-
cialties that just about tickled the
folks down front to death. Paul Por-
ter, as Luigi Fravola, a composer, did
some character acting that was de-
lightfUl.
Then there were three other roles,
about which lots Of nice things might
be said. One was that of Margot Mer-
rivale, theatrical star and fiancee of
Rushton. portrayed by Maxine Brown.
a pretty little blonde. Amanda
biODDBS aunt OF huSAIOn, ana preSl-
dent Of the Purity League, was por-
trayed by Elizabeth Moffet, who put
on a jag scene as good as anything
seen in these parts in many a moon.
Joan Maith, as Lola Shapeleigh, a
prima donna, doesn't do much sing
ing-but oh. uncle, she knows how to
he charming. And II she ever gets
tired of the stage she probably won't
have a bit OF trouble signing up as
an advertisement for some beauty
shop.
And, finally, there was dainty little
Nancy Fair, who took the part OF
Susie Smith, Rushton's country sweet
heart Miss Fair can dance and che
can sing. and she can imitate-and
she looks adorable all the time. There |
was only one trouble with her She |
didn't come on the stage soon enough. |

Happiness" which opened at the
National Theater last night, is a
typical Laurette Taylor play. Which
is all that one need say.
1t is not in any sense a heavy play
in fact, there's just the merest gos-
samer thread Of plot to hold IT all to-
gether. 1t is. quite frankly and quite
delightful1y, merely a drama gar
nent for the little lady who won her
way into Washington's heart when
The was just an. ineonspicuous little
stock actress some years ago.
Simplicity and directness. just as
in Peg o. My Heart" THE Harp OF
Life" and out There" are the out
standing features, with Miss Taylor
demonstrating. a Qnaint philosophy,
such as only she can expound. In
ways, the piece reminds one of Rem
nant," seen at; the National some
weeks ago-but the sugar never
turns to saccharine, as II did at times
in Miss Nash's portrayal.
The story +s Of Jenny, a little shop
girl, who makes so profound an i'm
preston on a world-weary young
woman of fashion, that she invites
her into her home.
Jenny comes and changes every
body's life for the better with her
wholesome doctrines, which she acts
rather than breaches.
In. the end she fnds her own hap
piness in the. person of a young elec-
trician.
There may be some who object to
the play on the ground that it's not
exactly true to life, which, however,
is hardly fair The plan doesn't pre-
tend to be a thing OF realism, rather
It's a morality play, even an allegory,
with the spectacularity OF the alle-
CORY left. out And as such it pro-
vides a delightful vehicle for Miss
Taylor.
Lynn Fontaine, j. NJ. Rerrigan,
Percy. Ames, and Beatrice Terry
handle the principal supporting roles
n convincing style, and Thomas
Cooke and Alice Esden draw original
ly secondary roles above their level.
BY way of, celebrating Miss Tay-
lor's return to Washington after so
long an absence, the National had
out a new curtain, a tasteful affair
in blue, which is a profound relief
after the years and years OF Psyche
at the throne of Venus.

All the action takes place in a little

The story opens just after the

storekeeper and publican, with his
son and two grandsons in the estab-

At the last moment, Meldon, who
owns the fayorite, buys Moya's Jockey,

He wins, OF course. and in the gem

Killop agrees to close his store, volun-

can inherit the money, and he and
Donagh decide to go into partnership
instead Of fighting.
Eileen Huban's work is particu-
