"3 WISE FOOLS" MIXES
WISDOM WITH FOLLY
Defies Technical Classification,
but Is Great Treat and
Big Hit

Even Austin Strong. the playwright
of il. would find it difficult to list
"Threc Wise Fools" under any of the
species of drama promulgated by Polo
MUS or indeed of any more recognized
commentator on dramaturgy.. This
freshly conceived and brightly treated
piece Of playcraft sounds at the Gar
rick the gamut of comedy, tragedy.
me!odrama. comedy drama. farce.
drama emotional and drama senti-
mental, the seven notes of the dramatic
scale in short. with n final resolution
OF its diSsonances on a tonic in whole
some natural. But If '"rhree Wise
Fools cannot be catcgorizcd by the
rules of Polonius. Aristotle. LeSsing or
Frcytag it can be simply summed up
by saying that it is n great treat.
At the jump off it looks like an eve
ming of farce, with three old chums who
live their life of case and propriety in
a big house. the ordered existence of
which does not deviate from day to day
by the tick Of n second hand of a clock
AS ono OF them says. routine has be-
come rut. Then comes passage of
tender and affecting comedy with the
Introduction Of the nephew of the grim =
NEST crouch of the trio, who wishes to
prescribe tho career Of the buoyant
youth, and in the revelation that the
group is bound in community of lost
love of long ago for one girl, who had
disappeared from their lives. Next ro
nance. for the sweetheart of the dead
past. dying in poverty, wills her child
to the three musketecrs whose chivalry
had lightened her fair days of youth.
Enters olden golden sentiment for the
child proves not an infant boy. but a
/ t'r ,ri, ,l a.,
routine of that staid and set in its =
ways menagc into human home, and
who falls in love with the lad. but nc
more than he does with her Stcathily
melodrama stalks on the scene in the
person of an escaped convict whom one
of the old boys, judge. had sent III
| for twenty years. and who had sworn
to get him with gun. Then the
clash of real drama, for the girl knows
the gunman, and for the sake of his
pal in the Jail delivery. who is hel
| father, connives at his escape. DiStrust
ruins the harmony of the household
when detectives prove that the girl hat
aided the potential murderer of thu
| jurist to make a getaway from hi
intended victims house. The boy
stands by her. He knows she is limo
cent. for he has looked into her ewes
But age is not easily rid of its preju
dices and the girl in a highly emotioua
scene leaves the house. Somewhat the
atrically, but very plausibly. the play
wright settles the innocence not onl,
of the girl, but of her father. on tn
old forgery charge, to the satisfaction
of the trio of eventually wise fools an,
appropriately rewards the love of tn
buoyant youth.
The piece. despite its diversity of the
atrical manners. has consistent an,
consecutive plot, one that is intricate
yet not too obviously exposed, in the de
velopment. 1t is very engaginl
acted by Helen Menken. Claud
GiIlinSwater. Harry Davenport. How
ard Gould. Charles Latte and Samue
Hines. who weld the principal role
with convincing acting.

That's one of the best things about

Of it.
Johu Il. Hazard was the mas
ouerading captain and most of the
laughs, which we're frequent, were due
10 his drollery and antics. Louise

passenger who contributed much to the

Kemble Cooper was still another whose
beauty and singing added to the JOY
of the occasion. Ada Lewis, the mother
in.law, was a riot of fun. She always
is, whether it be on the night boat
or elsewhere. ITansford Wilson is 6
clever dancer and he was in no way
stingy with his performance. Johr
Scannel helped along with the merri

There were any number of girls, al
pretty, and they wore some very at.
