-"Lusmore," Irish Play.
Opens at Henry Mile,

1t would seem that the modern spec
tator regards with open skeptcism the
activities of fairies and Irish "ittle
folk" for the pretty legend spread
thinly over four acts at the Henry
Miller Theatre last night received only
polite and dangerous approval from
the chose naudiencc. And as the play
progressed, more than one immaculate
shirt front slid into tired creases over
a relaxed frame.
When the curtain rose on a Living
ston Platt interior of soft blue with
corrodings of green and warm sun
light, the house burst into a spontane-
Gus appreciation Of a beautiful set
and continued its appreciation while
Eva lie Gallienc stumbled forward with
outstretched hands and a fixed stare,
registering blindness. Each new set
was warmly applauded, but audible ap-
probation of the play seemed confined
to it's mechanical equipment.
The fault, perhaps, lay in tho plays
lack faction and motivated dialogue
Scenes dragged interminably, and a
phantasy that would have been a lovely
lyric in one act became t tedious hymn
when spread over four The story un-
folded the legendary adventure of
"Lusmore," an Irish humpback, be-
lived to be a changeling by the super
stitious folk of adjoining farms. The
lads misfortune, however, was actually
caused by the cruelty of his step
father who eventually drove the boy
from home.
Gifted with vivid imagination and
pollyanna temperament, Lusmore,
with the help Of Eithne, a blind girl,
wanders into the garb and activities of
a knight. Unlike most Irish legends,
this one has a conventionally happy
ending. The play was written by Rita
Grace Heyer. The latter played the

Dram m a
''Nightie Night" Scores at Its
First Performance at
the Princess
By Haywood Broun

There was time last season when
we thought that we would never again
be able to laugh at bedroom farce.
But since then there has been sum-
mer, and q series of murder mystery
plays and strike, and last night we
found "Nightie Night" thoroughly
amusing.
There is more to it's success than
the respite which we have all had from
pajama plays. mighty Night" follows
the usual formula in its general plan,
to be sure, but the workmanship is
skilful and the acting excellent. No
T play form is ever dead if it be utilized
we'll enough, and Miss Martha M. STAN
just about the best farce of its type
since the Mayo classics and Hopwood's
Fair and Warmer"
The short explanatory prologue is
a little clumsy, but after that the play
the end. The most difficult task of
farce writing-providing a last act
is met successfully. There is no ap-
preciable let down, and the mixup is
cleared up concisely and satisfactorily
at the end.
The dialogue throughout is excellent
Probably little of it would be hilari-
ously funny if set down on q printed
page, but it is good dramatic dialogue.
Perhaps the most noteworthy quality
of the play is its briskness, and this
result must be attributed to both au-
thors and actors. The cast is super
In%,
Mndge Kennedy and no John Cumber-
land, but Francis Byrne and Dorothy
Mortimer make good use Of their oppor-
tunities. There is at least a sugges-
ton of Madge Kennedy in the work
of Miss Mortimer, but that has been
true of every farce ingenue since the
days of Fair and Warmer" And in
justice to Miss Mortimer it should be
said that even such portions of her
playing as are initiative are successful
imitation.
Perhaps the best performance of the
evening is that of Francis Byrne,
whose playing is always amusing and
seemingly effortless. He manages to
be funny without once tripping over a
chair or humping into a door. Ruby
Craven gets good deal out of the
comparatively small part of the maid,
and others who helped to make the
evening pleasant were Suzanne Villa,
Malcolm Duncan and Grant Mills. A
special word of praise should be given
to Marie Chambers, who was unusually
good as an acidulous and interfering
sister-in-law. 1t might also be we'll to
add that the play manages to be
thoroughly lively without ever becom-
ing offensive. One might say that it
is play which should appeal both to
the wise and the Rabbi Wise.

On the Screen
''The Market of Souls" Is a,
the Broadway With Stereo-
typed Story

Perhaps if we had been in for the
first 500 feet of "Tho Market of Souls, y
at the Broadway, we should have ap-
preciated the titular significance. As
it is, although we sat through until
the final reconciliation. we do not
know why it is the market of souls.
and we had hoped to learn something
of this particular branch of industry
and perhaps TO see some profteers put
in their proper places.
Dorothy Dalton has the stellar role,
the part of Helen Armes. young girl
with pure soul who only makes the
other etfete persons about her show
up to their greater disadvantage.
When she asks to be taken home in
the middle Of a rotous New Years
Eve party, Temple Bayne suspects that
she is not like other girls and he thinks
that perhaps he might like to marry
after all.
But then he makes the mistake of

staging of the piece. The setting and
costumlng of the play was exquisite
ana Miss lie Galliene made an attract
i've hithnc. The dialect, as dialects
nave way Of doing, varied in degrees
or brogue, and five of the chief char
acters tended to lisp, causing ripples of
mirth not merted by the lines. The
pitch of the play was on monotone,
WIN little light relief and scant oppor-
tunlty TOR an actor to individualize his
part. There seemed no good reason
why Lusmore could not have been
portrayed by one of his own sex. John
Macfarlane was a sconvincing a step
Iather Ia as the authors allowed. Regina
Wallace not only made a princess love-
ly to look upon, but showed herself a
person with sense of humor.

aptly titled "Lushmore." N. M.

Motors and Motorists

AT the sixteenth annual convention
Of the New York State Automobile
Association, which will be held next
month in Albany, two pieces of legis-
lation affecting motorists will be
brought up. One of them is to make
adjustments in the law taxing passen-
ger cars so that it will work out more
fairly to those that are owners Of
what are known as "orphan cars" The
license fee is based not only on the
horsepower rating, but also on the
original list price of the car, and this
is in great many cases a difficult, no,
to say impossible, thing to discove,
with a car several years old, the fac
tory which manufactured it being nc
longer in existence.
The association will also draw uI
legislation providing for the licensing
and examination of all operators OF
motor vehicles throughout the state
similar measure has been intro
duced at preceding sessions Of the
Legis stature, but the best that has been
accomplished thus far is the regulation
in greater New York only.
Governor Smith, Police Commissioner
Enright and some prominent woman
speaker will talk at the banquet that
winds up the session.
Judging from the demand thus fa1
for tickets for the annual outing OF

the affair at Fred Wagner's farm, at
Smithtown, a week from to-day, will
be the biggest on record.

ITALIAN GOVERNMENT
APPEALS TO THE ALLIES

London, Sept. 22.-(By The AS
sociated Press.)-The Italian gov
ernment has appealed to the allied
powers to send an allied force, ex-
tclusive of Italians, to drive dan
nunzio out of Fiume, according to a
report here tonight, which is con-
sidered reliable.
It is understood the American
naval authorities here, who control
the operations in the Adriatic, have
declined any assistance whatsoever,
pending the final decision from
Washington cr the peace delegates
in Paris. ~
The Italian government, it is re-
ported. has pointed out in its appeal
it would be difficult for Italy to han
die the situation in vie W of d'Anun-
zio's popularity with the italian
people, and also because of the fact
that the Fiume decision has been a
thorn in the side of the italians.
1t is understood the Italian gov.
ernment declared it deplored the sit
uation and did not wish to make the
slightest move against the decision
of the peace conference, but point
edIy inferred if d'Annunzio's hold
! on Fiume was to be weakened, II
must be. done by other than Italian
, troops.
The Associated Press learns ever
SHOULD the appeal be favorably re
ceived, no United States troops are
available and, pending instruction
from high authority, the United
States naval vessels would stay out
side the three-mile limit.
