that diversion of the play. THE Chal-
lenge" is so overloaded with message"
in one form or another that Eugene
Walter evidently thought his highest
duty done WIZ he arranged the text
in sjch a way that Holbrook Blinn
might talk on indefinitely. But the
story as it was written by Mr.. Walter
at least holds out. There Is enough OF
it to serve as a background for the
ecoy)l1ic phases Of the story and it is
ratl er superior of its kind.
"l'he Storm has only the fiction
tLat three characters are able TO pro-
vide. But here Langdon Mccormick
invokes various cataclyslns OF nature
to add variety to the love trio which
the two men and the woman sing
through four acts. Clarence dwells
on Observation-Disclosures as Booth Tar
kington at his best can draw. So there
is adequate compensation in the whim-
steal termination OF the story to make
up for the lack OF incident of the kind
that makes up continued story. But
few OF the authors who have this year
shown themselves so contemptuous of
the need OF plot are as capable as Mr..
Harrington of supplying a substitute
for its interest. Somerset Vaughan
does not attract attention through his
skill in characterization and thus COM
pensate for the lack of all action in
"Too Many Husbands" but he does al
most succeed in making up for this de-
ficiency by the wit Of his speeches.

This was another shuddering period

1t might at the best fill to overflow

So 1t really pays to invent or other
wise acquire a story which is going
TO hold the spectators. Just why the
theatre writer's are so indifferent on
the point it is not easy to say. 1t il
of course not possible that the crea-
ton of anything so unimportant Is be-
yond their powers. Avery Hopwood
has In THE Gold Diggers" done little
more than compose a series of Incl
dents which make it possible for Mr.
Belasco to trail on and off his trained
troup of chorus girls. Another sue
cess of the year, Adam and Eva"
does no more than utilize the same
tale OF the rich man grown suddenly
and apocryphally poor that he may
discipline his family. And it must be
borne in mind that Glare Hummer
made use of this legend not more than
two years ago, although 1t is true that
she added to its evolution a brilliancy
and distinction which the work Of
NM. Bolton and Mandel does not
possess.
George Scarborough's study of the
girlish nature in Moonlight and Hon

that 1t is not possible to call 1t con-
ventional. 1t has happened in some

profound or penetrating study Of
Americans abroad, but was highly &C
claimed on the night Of the first per-
Torrance by the admirers Of the au-
thor. When another woman says that
Lady Hdden knows no more about
money than that shilling Is what one
gives to a cabman, while a pound goes
to a head waiter. the remark is ac-
copied by the friends Of the author
as the last word in the searching rev.
elation OF character. Maybe 1t is. but
there seemed little need at any time
on Monday for binders to protect the
eyes from the sizzling wit of the dia-
logue.
Miss Atkins, in the variety of her
character, the scenes in which she had
placed them and the aristocratic way
wardness of her heroine's character,
has kept "Declassee" interesting. A
skilful playwright would SO have util-
lied her material that there would
have been a responsive interest In the
second act as we'll as in the first. But
1t steadily declined to be revived at
times by such passages as thu inter-
view between Lady Hdden and Solo
mon. Yet as it is Miss Akin has pre-
scented the public with the most alb
sorbing bit OF stage fiction that the
present year has brought to the thea
tire. Then her langage possesses fine
literary distinction which no other
writer for the theatre has shown this
year.
