New-York tribune., 1920-01-20

poor immigrant Italian is accused of
having killed his wife. Acquitted of
the charge he goes to California, where
he strikes it rich," and where he
deifies the memory Of the supposedly
slain woman for the benefit of his
daughter. Ghe big scene comes when
the wife, faithless blackmailer, re-
appears in the flesh, destroying at one
stroke the illusion created for the
daughter, and at the same time threat
enlng the, latter's happiness with the
man who has asked her to be his wife.
1t is the sort of role which Mr. Skin
ner frequently has been criticized for
acce pting, but in which, nevertheless,
he generally makes a success His act
ing last night caused the audience to
force him to make a curtain speech,
which gave him a chance to say some
thing complimentary Of his wife as a
playwright.
Miss Ruth Rose as Angela. the
daughter; Miss Mary Shaw as the err
ing wife; Alfred Peyton as the horti-
culturist, who becomes Pietro's
partner; Thurlow Bergen as the Dis
trict Attorney, who sought vainly to
convict the Italian, and Robert Ames
as his son, who falls in love with the
Italians daughter, all deserve praise
for their admirable acting in their
various parts.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-20

through refusing to commit his daily
crime; to refuse to commit a daily
CRIME Is tantamount to suicide: but
suicide is itself crime, and so by Sir
hoderlck's own admissions ne ought
never to have died at ALL Sir Rod
erick sees, he understands and realizes
that he is practically alive, whereupon
the characters are ready to pair off
and lift their voices in the musical
finale.
Sullivan's score bears an unusual
number of indications OF careful and
conscientious labor such as the ad-
mlrable musician that he was thought
we'll applied in an undertaking which
appealed to his artistic sympathies. In
fact, 1t is question which might be
reserved for the full bench, as Gilbe rt
might have said (did say in "The Con
dollers"l, whether in respect Of eff
cheney the musician and composer did
not change places. Sir Arthur used his
old formulas and also evoked the fine
Old English flavor in his tunes. and
such numbers as the hornpipe, the
madrigal, the gavotte and the country
dance are among his happiest inspira-
tlons. And his pretty travesty on the
conventional madness of Italian opera
herolnes is vastly divcrting.
We have been reminiscent, but we
must not compare last nights repre-
sentation with that of February 21.
1887. We missed the refinement and
intellectual sparkle which character
lied the performances of Gilbert and
Su,livan's operettas generation ago,
and if we ventured to say that Mr.
Hinshaw has not replaced Geraldine
Ulmar, Courtice Pounds, George
Thorne, Fred Billington and F.
Frederici, we shall probably be
frowned on as an old fogy incapable
OF appreciating excellences of the
present time. New life, new love to
suit the newer day"
We have said that "Ruddygore" was
not success when first brought for
ward, but there must have been some
appreciation of its excellent attributes
at the time and considerable merit in
the performers. So there were last
night. when it seemed brilliant sue
cess from the beginning to the end
OF the long first act and broke down only
in the second because of the inability
of the chorus to do justice to Sulivan's 5
supernatural music. TIL then the
verbal ouips and quiddities of Gilbert
from the audience, and the demure
archness and grace of Gladys Caldwell
Cher neat singing also), the action and
song of Cora Tracy, the excellent die
ton in speech of Sarah Edwards and
the creditable impersonations of Craig
Campbell and Frank Moulan won ap-
plause and, what is better, deserved it
too, This revival is perhaps the most
daring. Of Mr. Hinshaws experiments
IN revlving the old Gilbert and Sulli-
van list, but it ought also to be the
most triumphant.

cess in AeOlian Hall
Recital

Great memories cluster about the
name Of Olive Fremstad. memories Of
kundry, of Sieglinde, of Brunnhilde
Of Armide, of Isolde. To US of the
younger generation they are memories
which never will be effaced they are
tor US the great characterization of
these heroic women. Nine. Fremstad
was the last of the Metropolitan So
pranos trained in the grand manner
She has had no real successor. On
her departure from the operate stage
she entered the field of song recital
with considerable success. Had she
entered this field sooner she undoubt-
edly would have been remarkable
in it as she was in lyric drama. for
she possesses both temperament and
an intellect.
Nine. Fremstad gave recital yester-
day afternoon at Aeolian Hall. The
hall was filled, the audience was en-
thusiastic, the singer was as slender in
as in the days of her glory. Her voice
was serviceable in its medium and
lower registers. though her upper
| tones were forced and unsteady. But
in such things as the old Italian folk
song arranged by Sgambati. in Martinis
"Plaisir d'Amour,' in Sverra Jordons

ciencies were minimized. while her
splendid dramatic interpretative power

night. There were complications, of
course, that were unlocked for, and it
did seem for u moment that Ann had
overplayed her hand, but her respecta-
bility is SO impeccable that no one will
believe what she planned to make Bill
think they would believe. However,
Bills eyes are opened and his silence
is broken.
Miss Georges many friends were out
in full force, and they testified their
appreciation with much applause and
repeated curtain calls. 1t would have
been we'll if all the players had been
as nearly letter perfect in their lines
as Miss George. The part of Ann
Mortimer is not one that gives Miss
George an opportunity for exceptional
work, but the play is amusing and ex-
ceedingly light.
Aside from Miss George and Mr..
Miltern, the principals are Leila Frost,
Richard Farrell, Freeman Wood, Helen
Reimer, Thomas Donnelly, Caroline
Locke, Carlotta Monterey, May Hop
kins and Marie Bryar.
A word should be said for the excel
lence of the stage settings. A woman
in the next row remarked that the
hangings in the first act were Georg-
cite. We can't say as to that, but they
were very pleasing to the eye.

can Tenor Singing eli
Eli" Until 1t Grows Tired

The new show at the Palace Theater
this week was halted by the audience
last night until it grew tired of cheer
ing and applauding the rendition of
eli, Eli sorrowful Jewish melody,
by Allan Rogers, a young American
tenor.
Rogers is not billed as one of the
"headliners," but Me was the head
liner" last night. He had sung an old
Southern "darky" melody with great
charm, and selection from an Italian
opera, but when he sang Eli, Eli" the
show was his.

sons ago. reenacted short scenes from
three of his most noted successes, 1.-THE

''The Ruined Lady," Light
But an Amusing PIav

A sigh that was half a sob swept
through The Playhouse last night
when one of the men on the stage
opened the door or an article of fur
nlture an essential Of every rich bache-
lor's quarters, and lifted out q tray
bearing a glistening array Of glasses
and bottles. From one Of the bottles
ne poured reddish liquid into one Of
the glasses, stepped on the accelerator
OF another Of the bottles, whereat
in radiator. And then, and then
on, Tor the touch of a vanquished hand
And the sound Of voice that is still +"
1t was the only sad moment in an
othcrwlse pleasant evening, for there
were many things to smile at in "Thc
Ruined Lady" which had it's opening
a. the Playhouse last night, with Grace
George in the title role. In spite of the
we, there is nothing sordid about
The Ruined Lady," which is the
d.ramatization of story by Frances
Eordstrom. y AS matter Of fact, Miss
George, as Ann Mortimer, is so
thoroughly respectable that she is nut
TO desperate cxpedients to compromise
herself. She is forced to such an en-
tcrprlse by the persistent diatoriness
OF Blil Bruce, played by John Mil
tern, in taking up the. sub }ect Of matri-
mony.
Ann and Bill were sweethearts in
Their youth out on Long Island, and
blli used to propose with the regularity
or an automaton. But Ann, faced with
the necessity Of caring for dead
brother's babies, refused until the chill
aren should have grown up. BY that
