GARRICE-.The Great Illusion z

The mystery of THE Great 1ilu-
SION was explained at the Garrick
last night and little was left to the
imagination. Stripped OF all disguise
by a clever manipulater, it proved
to be love. This latest comedy by
Avery Hopwood. adapted from the
French of Cachra Guitry, was pre-
sented for the first time here to an
appreciative audience. OF course, the
setting for this particular Illusion is
found in the apartment of a pretty,
fascinating woman. Georges Plateau,
as Marcel the Cireat-and really clever
in the art of mysticism-takes his
box of tricks at midnight to the
home of Jessica wayne, a novellst,
who is seeking color for a book. Mrs.
Wayne, portrayed effectively by Gail
Kayne. has been a persistent attend
ant at the Marcel performances. She
invites the actor to give perform
ance for the entertainment of party
in her apartment. but when he arrives
he finds he is the only guest, Jessica.
having eliminated her most per-
sistent admirer just before the actors
arrival The susceptible performer
seems to quickly discern the object
of the woman's invitation, but almost
"queers" the performance by flush
ing the quarry. With a love song
or two, a flood of words picturing a
world trip with Jessica. he arouses
the desire of the woman to know
II,
and Marcel's valet finds his employers S
caution to bring another suit in case
he should be delayed in returning
in the morning was not without i'm
portance
The opening scene shows Marcel
performing his tricks on vaudeville
stage. He does the Chinese flower
trick, and the disappearing girl, in
the mysterious cabinet, would have
completely disappeared if her little
foot had not hung down when the
curtain of the cabinet was allowed
to fall, thus exposing her presence
under a heap of silk. Mrs. Wayne
is occupying one of the theater boxes
at the Garrick with her pet Monty
ernest LambarD. Their appear
ance in the act is made when Marcel
seeks to present her with guinea
pig which he has drawn from an
empty vase. Next she is shown in
the stars dressing room extending
the invitation to repeat the perform
ance in her apartment. Act two
shows the apartment. 1t also serves
to introduce a clever maid (Edythe
Allenby). who, though mystified by
the appearance of Marcel. assumes
he is new material" for the novelist.
When Marcel pulls an Irish" flag
from her nose she fees from the
clear for the investigation of the
great illusion" The situation is
skillfully handled by the playwright.
The cast is well balanced and excep-
tionally good.
Incidental to the affair of Mrs.
Wayne is the introduction of the
dancing girl Gertrude Vanderbilt)
in the affections of Marcel. This
wise little girl knows that his love
for her will probably end with the
completion of his engagement at the
theater and she frowns on his ad-
at the Wayne apartment on the
morning after and takes Marcel
away, saving the situation for Jes-
sica. when Monty also appears. but
not before Marcel has shattered the
beautiful vision of a world tour for
Jessica. so alluringly pictured the
night before. Monty then comes into
! his own.

B. F. KEITH'S-Vaudeville.

Marguerite sylvia heads the bill

has become one of the biggest hits of
the circuit. Last night she was heard
did she drift into grand opera. when
she sang an aria from Carmen" She
sang French song, one verse of. it

and for an encore an original talking
song about the boys over there and
their troubles with the French lam
guage. After a half dozen curtain calls
Nine. Sylvia begged off.

Il local engagement at another theater,
and they scored the laughing hit of the
program. Miss Mcconnell is even better
than Marie Dressler in rough comedy
talk and dances, and, well assisted by
her two man partners. carries every
thing before her. The act comes un
der the head of a talking sketch, the
trio quarreling over an engagement
after being out of work for. some
time. 1t is a sort of three-cornered
family disturbance. The sketch is
very funny and kept the audience
laughing continuously.
Frank Hurst. who has appeared
here in support of numerous top
liners, is going it alone. He made a
substantial hit with new songs and
recitations. Corinne Tilton presented
an original sketch. "A Chatter Box
DOLL" that was well received. The
act is set with costly scenery and rich
costumes. Morton and Glass were big
favorites. in songs. patter and
dances of the latest development. The
Reynolds Donegan company. expert

numbers included the Worden
