Delightful! Comedy BimfuIl
of Humanizing Interest

The Characters.

In "a Prince There Was" which
was acted at the Grand last night,
delightful comedy brimfull of human
idzing influence was offered to an
audience that made up in lack OF
numbers by its very apparent enjoy
ment of the play. The story in itself
lis neither new nor unusual, but was
| told so clearly and presented with
/ such smoothness by company of
more than the usual ability that its
charm will be lasting.
AS with all plays which bear the
Cohan mark, its working has been so
carefully built up as to avoid any
dragging or hitch which might mar
the vehicle as whole and through
the entire vein of humor. shaded
here and there with those serious
moments which are SO typical in the
comedies Of Mr.. Cohan, is pointed
out the moral or lesson intended in
clean cut and concise manner.
| The plot deals with man OF
great wealth, formerly called by his
friends "a prince" who through the
sudden loss Of wife and child has lost
interest in the ordinaries of life and
Whose ways have run to wandering
and. drink. Accidentally there comes
ito him little child. a slavey from a
lboarding house. who prevails upon
him to play the fairy prince Of her
Imagination.
Installed in the boarding house and
surrounded by the usual types found
| in such places, he formulates his sal
ivation and also finds happiness in
the person of young woman who
j has come to the house to procure
atmosphere" for story she Is writ
ling. In creating happiness for him
Iself he brings into the lives Of others
opportunities which have been denied
them and leaves the audience salts
fled that through the truth which
|nngs SO clearly in the story this old
world is not such a bad place after
all.
