Alan Brooks Appears
In His Own Play.

"The Successful Lover" is the latest
venture by Alan Brooks. II opened
for a weeks run at the National last
night, and Is a rather good play built
on a conventional but not oyerworked
theme. The play is badly cast In
spots.

In the main. "The Successful Low
er" is a good play. 1t is a rewriting
OF one OF the actor authors earlier
attempts, Joined to the sketch with
which he has been appearing In
vaudeville lately. yclept Dollars and
Sense"
1t is a problem play that is not a
problem play. To explain this para
doxical statement. let us say that II
presents an intriguing problem with
out that sex element that Is supposed
to be the basis for the problem plays
that have been cluttering the stage
and screen for the past five or six
years.
Brooks new play deals with the
fact that marriage today Is cash
bargain rather than an enduring
love proposition, that a girl today Is
not concerned with "for better or
worse" rather she wants to see what
the bank cashier is apt to write on
a. 49,
not attempt to prove that all women
are OF this grasping nature for he
wins. at the end of the play. the ex-
ception to the rule.
The moral of the play is good
one. 1t shows without preaching.
that the successful love is one that
is built on a sure foundation Of per-
sonal affection and regard. rather
than the endowment of worldly
goods.
Brooks takes the part OF a cynical
young chap, who sees nothing amiss
in eayesdropping in an attempt to
find out whether his love for girl
is we'll placed. Despite a late open
ing. due to scenic troubles brought
on by the recent strike, and the natu-
raj nervousness over the success OF
his new piece, he acquitted himself
in highly rcreditable fashion, and
was forced to make a curtain speech.
Brooks has caught the character, and
his interpretation leaves little to be
desired. This is one Of the advant-
ages of acting the character that one
has created ones self.
Carroll McComas easily takes the
honors of the feminine portion of the
cast. Lillian Tucker. as the frank and
dash.ng young divorcee comes in for
q share Of commendation. Aside from
S. Kurasaki. who is thoroughly pat
ural in the part Of the Japanese but
ler, the rest of the cast Is indiffer-
ent.
For the play. 1t is much too long
in the first two acts. The third act
with its partitioned stage. showing
the action Of two days IN throw
back" fashion. makes UP considerably
for the dragginess Of the first two
acts. With some judicious pruning.
and a thorough recasting, the play
will be, to our mind, a real success.
At any rate we like it. and Nox
